Will the Democrats call for the following resignations?
Rep. Murtha
Senator Kennedy
Rep. Jefferson
Rep. Filner
Senator Reid
Rep. Pelosi.
Senator Clinton
Senator Kerry
etc.
This past week Democrats have called for and received the resignation from Senator Craig. And appropriately so. Will they now call for the resignation of the previously mentioned people and other Democrats who are guilty of far worse crimes than a misdemeanor?
Or is it okay to take bribes, make land deals, murder people, take kick backs, commit treasons?

now, if you could find me a quote from one elected democrat that actually called for Craig's resignation, that would be real nice.
Barring that, you are a liar.

Where have I said that only elected Democrats have called for Craig's resignation?
You guys got outraged at Craig's Behavior. Why arent you outraged over the worse behavior in your own party?

There were actually a few. The only reasons they Republican's asked for his Resignation is because a major election is coming up. There are quite a few Republicans that are supporting this guy and CNN just broke the story that he is considering pulling his resignation.

First Avatar,
Why did you say the Democrats called for Larry Craig's resignation, when that is SIMPLY NOT TRUE and a fabrication by YOU?
The Republicans called for Larry Craig's resignation and prematurely at that...compared to how they have treated Senator Vitter for breaking the law and repeatedly visiting prostitutes in both Washington and New orleans, while he was married....an adulterer... as well.
What has Senator Kennedy done in the last 20 years that calls for his resignation? Has he been charged with a crime?
Has Murtha been charged with a crime?
Has Clinton been charged with a crime?
Has Kerry been charged with a crime?
Has Pelosi been charged with a crime?
Has Reid been charged with a crime?
I don't know who Filner is.....
Jefferson has been charged with a crime and was removed from the committees of importance that he lead....but has not been tried yet or found guilty yet. The republican lead justice dept took their good ole time and had not even charged him with any crime, prior to the election... in which he rewon his seat.
I also believe that because he is black, and screaming bloody murder about the unfairness of his offices being searched, while duke cunningham's wasn't and Delay's wasn't and Ney's wasn't and so on and so forth of white men that were charged with crimes in Congress, that all that can be done is to sit back and wait for his guilty verdict.
But to imply that Democrats called for the resignation of Larry Craig because of his guity plea to a misdemeanor is an outright, fabrication? Isn't it Avatar?
And good morning Avator,

I am saying that democrats don't get as wound up about gays as republicans do. For the most part, we don't see homosexuality as some sort of mental disease or abomination like republicans do. If somebody is gay and wants to serve his or her government in an elected capacity, I am totally fine with that. I am way more interested in someone's stance on the issues that REALLY impact America. I really have no interest in their sexual preferences.
What IS upsetting to me is the hypocrisy of senator Craig making a career out of acting like this Christian anti-gay avenger successfully pandering for religious right votes in ruby-red Idaho while simultaneously trolling for man on man buttsex in Minnesota airport restrooms.

The standards are different for Republicans and Democrats.
The Dems have never represented themselves as anything but a bunch of drunken crooks who cheat on their wives. The voters apparently accept them as loveable rogues, and keep re-electing them.
But the GOPers.......
Now this is a bunch that's portrayed themselves as "moral....the party of family values." They've always said, "Elect us and we'll uphold the morality of the country. We'll represent true Christian virtue."
If a Democrat is caught soliciting sex in the men's room, well, it's what we expect of them.
But when a Republican is caught toe-tapping and looking to play "hide the salami" in the men's room, that's a different story. All bets are off and it's a feeding frenzy.
Larry Craig voted for one of those stupid Defense of Marriage Acts. He is hoisted on his own petard.
Eat the rich avoid Rush
Which one is the murderer? Careful, could be a trick question....
What's illegal about "land deals"? Quick get Donald Trump, serial criminal!
Which one committed treason? I suppose you'll say "all of them"
How about taking kickbacks and bribes (shouldn't that be "taking kickbacks" and "offering bribes" though?) Sorry I nearly sniggered when I remembered all the Republicans in or on the way to prison for corruption offences. Good old Jack the Hat. Has he finished talking to the FBI yet?

The Republicans have officially lost all credibility on "family values"
Time and time again, we're finding that the Republicans are closet gays and perverts (Not that they're any different from the Democrats)
- Larry Craig plead guilty (and as much as you don't think it does, that means a LOT)
- Mark Foley (need I say more?)
- Newt Gingrich served divorce papers to his wife while visiting her in the hospital while she was being treated for cancer (so much for family values!)
- Rudy Giuliani has run his personal life into the ground going through numerous divorces and leading to the point where his own children hate him (so much for family values!)
- Joe Scarborough left Congress after the woman he was rumored to be having an affair with was found dead in his office and he has just divorced his wife
- Edison Misla Aldarondo, Republican legislator from Puerto Rico, was sentenced to 13 years in prison for molestation of his daughter and her friend for eight-year period starting when they were 9
- Randal David Ankeney, Republican activist from Colorado, arrested on suspicion of sexual assault on a child with force. He faces 6 charges related to getting a 13-year-old girl stoned on pot and then having sex with her.
- Merrill Robert Barter, Republican County Commissioner, pleaded guilty to unlawful sexual contact and assault on a teenage boy
- Robert Bauman, Republican congressman and anti-gay activist from Maryland, was charged with having sex with a 16-year-old boy he picked up at a gay bar
- Parker J. Bena, Republican activist and Bush Elector from Virginia, pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography (including children as young as 3 years old) on his home computer and was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison and fined $18,000
- Louis Beres, chairman of the Christian Coalition of Oregon. 3 of his family members accuse him of molesting them when they were pre-teens
- Howard L. Brooks, Republican legislative aide and advisor to a California assemblyman, was charged with molesting a 12-year old boy and possession of child pornography
- Andrew Buhr, Republican politician, former committeeman for Hadley Township Missouri, was charged with two counts of first degree sodomy with a 13-year old boy.
The list goes on and on and on. You could make a similar list for Democrats doing very very similar things. But, the point is that Republicans have officially lost their monopoly on moral issues.
"I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in "A," "B," "C" and "D." Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? - Barry Goldwater
