		<description>We get the elected officials that we deserve.  And lest we forget, whenever there is a reaction to typecast this behavior as strictly one party or another....then the other party bares their tush over similar allegations.  It is the poor character of the man, not the political party that is responsible.&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>But, why are these types of events more common in the Rethuglican Party?&lt;br /&gt;
And, why are there far more immoral and unethical happenings going on in said party?&lt;br /&gt;
I think these continuing problems say a lot about the character of one particular party.</description>

The christians seated the current repugs. based on their christian values. That is why they are more likely to engage in christian values as Fossella has done.</description>

&lt;br /&gt;
They aren&#039;t BJ.  You just frequent &quot;Left&quot; leaning blogs...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Try reading up on the governors of NY and NJ...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This post is just one more example of Dave&#039;s left leanings...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Politically neutral...yeah. Sure it is...&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>No, I watch the news from all angles- I&#039;m a staunch independent with no ties to any one party.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you can honestly say that the Rethugs are no worse than any other party when it comes to immorality and unethical behaviour, I&#039;m afraid your head is farther in the sand than I thought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The current Retug party is destroying this once great country, and it really pisses me off.&lt;br /&gt;
What pisses me off more is how stupid the majority of Americans really are.  We live in a country where far more people vote on American Idol than they do for their own President.  With all the damage that&#039;s been done by this current administration, it&#039;s shocking there isn&#039;t more outcry.&lt;br /&gt;
BushCo should be serving time in prison, not in a posh office.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Disgraceful.</description>

&lt;br /&gt;
Bullshit.  Prove this wild ass unfounded allegation or shut your vacuous pie hole...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Try reading up on the governors of NY and NJ...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Try reading up the still sitting congressman who likes to wear diapers when getting sexed by his prostitutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Try reading up on all the hookers and blow that Tom Delay bought for his backers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Try reading up on the aide to Mitt Romney who was convicted of sexually exploiting a child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Try reading about the Republican&#039;t guy in the Big Brothers / Big Sisters organization who was exploiting the children in the program.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Try reading about the christian conservative activist who was arrested for having sex with a fourteen year old boy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Try reading about the male prostitute who has over 200 &#039;sleepovers&#039; (that we know of) in the White House during this adminsitration&#039;s reign.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and that&#039;s just the tip of the iceberg, as far as Republican&#039;ts are concerned:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Funny how the resident Putsch fellator didn&#039;t notice all of that, but instead accused others here of engagin in partisan witch hunts...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;This post is just one more example of Dave&#039;s left leanings...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your comment is just one more example of your ostrich-like focus on current events whenever there&#039;s a Republican&#039;t involved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Politically neutral...yeah. Sure it is...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just like you, phreak-boy.  Funny how it&#039;s okay for you to engage in partisan hackery (of a religious nature) (on a weblog devoted to atheism) while you can simultaneously get your knickers in a twist about somebody else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suck it, jeebus phreak!</description>

		<description>When the GOP&#039;s supporters allow their party to bill itself as the party of gawd and the party of family values it invites such relentless examination and criticism of its party leaders. Reciprocity - It&#039;s everywhere.</description>

		<description>what&lt;br /&gt;
sorry took so long to reply about building a public health service at the state level. what i&#039;m talking about is a health care system like canada or britain.we hear so much in the media about failure of federal gov&#039;t to have a national system.the fact is citizens if they want it, can work to have their state create such a system.the question i have is wouldn&#039;t we be better off to let free market forces drive down the price of service thereby meaning we need less gov&#039;t involvement in healthcare not more.i don&#039;t have a particular preference just want a solution that gets the best value for money spent.</description>
