Normally I would ask how long it took you to "research" this, this, this, dumb s*it. But now, all I can say is, aren't you glad you have the internet to look up this kind of dumb s*it?

Hell, Eisenhower and GW senior had tootsies. Who cares!!!!!!!

Someone's sex life is their own and definitely no one's business! I never did understand why Clinton's cost the tax payer's so much money...other than Ken Starr was on a neocon's payroll.

You're right, Alice. I doubt that he did the research. It's probably online somewhere like the one I posted......except I gave credit for mine.

The difference in the two lists is that, unlike Republicans today, these Dems didn't set themselves up as morally superior or emphasize "family values" in their election campaigns. Not that they didn't have a set of family values; just that they didn't expect to make public policy based on THEIR values. :lol: :lol: :lol:

The difference between the two lists, other than length, is that the people on the Republican list get chastised by their peers, while those on the Democrat list get excuses made from them by their's.

"chastised by their peers" What a joke. Exactly what does being "chastised" do? Diaper boy Vitter is still in the House. Sanford still sits in the governor's chair. Ensign is still in the Senate. Heck, Newt is contemplating a run for President! :lol: :lol: :roll:

Yep and now that its the Repubs that are doing the trolloping around- Falwell is even forgiving them- and comparing them to Biblical heroes...

Heroes Will Let You Down
Jonathan Falwell


In 1919, the Chicago White Sox were favored to win the World Series over the Cincinnati Reds. But the team lost amid speculation that some of the players had thrown the series in exchange for money from gamblers. One year later a grand jury convened to investigate the charges.

Joe Jackson, known as “Shoeless Joe” to his fans, had hit .375 during the Series, but he had purportedly been one of the White Sox players (or Black Sox, as they were being called) to receive the dirty cash. As Jackson departed the criminal court building in custody on a September afternoon, there were reportedly hundreds of kids outside the courthouse waiting to see their hero. According to legend, as Shoeless Joe passed by, one of the boys grasped the outfielder’s jacket sleeve and exclaimed, “Say it ain’t so, Joe.”

I think we all sometimes feel the desperate hope of that kid, especially when we witness a religious or social or political leader who experiences a startling moral downfall. No matter how old we get, it seems we hold a childlike expectancy that there will be one hero, one champion, who will not let us down.

The reality, however, is that no man or woman—no Christian—is above moral collapse. The annals of history are dotted with accounts of those who succumbed to the temptations of the flesh. Gov. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) is just the latest example of this type of tragic fall. I’m sure there are many people in his state who have been stunned and hurt by his actions. His family is certainly heartbroken.

The simple fact of life is that people will always fall short of our expectations because they are, well, people. We are all imperfect and our best intentions are often unfulfilled. In realizing this fact, we subsequently see one simple Christian truth: we are all in need of the Savior who can forgive our sin and fill us with His Spirit so that we can, through Him, live victoriously.

Romans 5:5 tells us: “Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us” (NKJV). God, our great hope, is our constant, our never-let-you-down friend.

You know, when situations like those of Mark Sanford or Bill Clinton or Larry Craig or John Edwards arise, I often think back to King David, who suffered complete moral failing. The great part of David’s story was the wonderful spiritual restoration he experienced because of our God of grace. Psalm 51 is the beautiful picture of confession and forgiveness of sin.

This brings me to an important point. In this age of “gotcha” politics, it seems that there is an almost recreational spirit of enjoyment that many people take regarding the failings of others. As Christians, we should never take this cavalier attitude toward other’s moral tragedies.

I appreciate Joe Scarborough, host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” broadcast, condemning the seemingly utter delight some people take in these situations. Mr. Scarborough stated, “Obviously [Sanford] needs to be judged in the toughest sense politically. But personally—I’ll just be blunt—I was embarrassed by certain cable news hosts last night, some on this network, that took—and the only expression you can really use is “unbridled glee”—in this man’s problem and the pain of his wife, the pain of his children.”

As Christians, we should always be focusing on helping people discover spiritual healing through a relationship with Jesus Christ—not reveling in their pain. We should be praying for Mark Sanford and his family—not snickering about another political figure falling on his face.

Those of us who follow Jesus Christ must seriously commit to praying for our leaders, never forgetting that even our greatest heroes are flawed individuals who need Jesus Christ, just like the rest of us. May we never forget that we worship the God that “desires for all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (I Timothy 2:4).

You're right, OT, it is totally unacceptable for a Christian minister to suggest forgiveness.

Did he forgive Clinton or Edwards prior to this...? I don't remember..

I actually agree with Falwell- but don't remember too much Christian forgiveness being circulated by the the Repub side on Clinton or Edwards...

But I also think they are ALL Doofus's-- and these Repubs are all all Hypocrits ...And that has been what has made the major contention with these Republicans that succumbed to the temptations of the flesh...

Both parties are guilty of infidelity, it makes no difference which party you belong to, it is the moral charactor of the person, NOT the party!!

If any one of us were to be unfaithful to our spouses how can any one thing such as politcal beliefs be blamed?

How many robbers, killers, molestors,etc etc are DEMOCRATS?
REPUBLICANS??

I'll go further. Men have a hard time being monogamous. Some of it is biological and some of it is cultural and some of it is idiosyncratic to the person.

Some time it is just bitchy wives! :wink: :lol:
