    This is not entirely untrue. Democrats dropped the ball in the 90s So it is true that Democrats are newcomers to the fight against sexual harassment.

    But we know now that Republican "morality standard" was hypocritical::Newt Gingrich, Mark Folley, David Vitter, Larry Craig, John Ensign, Dennis Hastert .... hypocrites who were the face of the "Republican Moral Standard"

    The moral standard is not set by the Party's politicians. It's set by the followers. And while Democrats' feet are being held to the fire, Trump and Moore, who have done much worse, are given a pass by their followers.

    Yeah, I think Trump changed the way republicans see things. He's never been a paragon of virtue, and has no problem speaking his mind.

    It's about much bigger things than who is banging who. It's about understanding that the democrats have been using republican virtue signaling against them for years. to the detriment of things that really matter like the future of the country.

    What Trump did to the democrats is to force them to pretend to be care about morality. In order to care morality, you must also cite a moral value. The dems chose sexual misconduct. Virtue and morality are only strengths for individuals, and weaknesses which your enemy can use against you - just as the dems have been doing to republicans for so long.

    So now that moral value you guys claim to hold dear to your hearts (I don't believe it for a second, but the claim itself is a vulnerability) is sex, your collective feet are going to be held to the fires of sexual impropriety.

    The campfire is only just starting, so grab your marshmallows and enjoy the roasting of the left with me.

    Liberals have suddenly found religion on this subject after 30 years of calling Bill Clinton's accusers "trash". Libs are doing this to set up Trump. Now they can take the moral high ground and say, "Look, we got rid of our gropers. Now Trump needs to be impeached".

    But they're not quite unified in this effort. Some (most?) are forming a protective wall around the creep from Saturday Night Live.

    The right wing viewpoint is so all over the place it's dizzying....

    on one hand, having a cow over everyone, from the present and from the past (that is a Dem, of course)...

    than saying Repubs don't carry anymore about morality...elect child molesters and p*ssy grabbers as long as they have the Repub agenda....

    bragging about stealing the "lib playbook"...

    it's just a such a f*cking mess...I'd love to see you all argue with each other just for laughs. :bonk:

    You're kinda forgetting the conservatives got this ball rolling with Fox news sexcapades of Ailes and O'Reilly and the recent multi-million dollar sexual misconduct settlement of Fox.

    I agree that moral standards are set by the base

    And the republican base has higher standards than the democrats

    Liberals are getting busted for recent transgressions that they do not deny

    But roy moore denies the charges which are nothing but 40 year old hearsay with no credible evidence to back them up

    I'm only going back as far as Weinstein.

    How far back should we go ? JFK ?

    But it's interesting that it was Dr. Wendy Walsh who blew the whole Bill O'Reilly sex scandal wide open. Wendy calls herself a "Doctor" but hey...Barack Obama called himself a constitutional law professor. :roflol: That's funny. Call me Dr. APACHERAT.

    Many on the Left Coast knows who Wendy Walsh is, she has her own weekend radio program on KFI 640 AM.
    Anyone who has listened to Wendy's show on KFI for the past two years knows she's no Donald Trump fan.

    There have always been scandals...

    Warren Harding, President (R), reportedly had affairs with Carrie Phillips and Nan Britton during the 1910s and early 1920s prior to his death in 1923. Britton claimed in a best-selling 1927 book, The President's Daughter, that her daughter had been fathered by Harding while he was a U.S. senator. Her assertion was finally established as factual in August 2015, when genetic tests confirmed Harding as the father of Elizabeth.

    It was Kenneth Starr that took all this sort of sh*t and put it on the front page in recent times.

    Democrats were heavily critical of the expansion of Starr's investigation -- painting him as a partisan prosecutor desperately searching for some wrongdoing by the Clintons. He became the symbol for many Democrats of Republicans' blind hatred for the Clintons -- and helped rally the Democratic base to make history by gaining House seats in the 1998 midterm election.
    Starr himself has even turned reflective about the whole thing. "There are certain tragic dimensions which we all lament."

    An unlikely voice recently bemoaned the decline of civility in presidential politics, warned that “deep anger” was fueling an “almost radical populism” and sang the praises of former President Bill Clinton — particularly his “redemptive” years of philanthropic work since leaving the White House.

    The voice was that of Kenneth W. Starr, the former Whitewater independent counsel, whose Javert-like pursuit of Mr. Clinton in the 1990s helped bring a new intensity to partisan warfare and led to the impeachment of a president for only the second time in the nation’s history.

    And they are only rarely the result of true sanctimonious outrage. It's just a way of beating your enemies down piece-by-piece. That's what this Moore thing is, and everybody knows it. The lefties who ignore the timing of the hit piece and the fact that it's just an allegation with no evidence. If there was any evidence, such as a signed year book that was taken to a hand writing expert who went to a morning talk show and said "I examined both Moore's handwriting and the writing on the year book and can say that there's a 95% chance that it is the same" you would be pointing to that and shouting to the rooftops that there is direct evidence that a 30ish man was probably in a relationship with a then 14 year old girl.

    Since that didn't happen, and most likely won't happen, then you ignore the lack of any evidence and go with the allegations as if those are evidence.

    This is how we're supposed to argue about this stuff. If Moore was a democrat, we'd switch positions. like if it's Weinstein, you'd be screaming to the heavens that even Shakespeare had a casting couch, so there's nothing to see here, and I would be arguing that not only was Shakespeare a sexual predator, but since he only cast men in his plays, then he was a gay sexual predator.

    How about a bit of honesty for a change?

    The only "REALITY" is THIS:

    If the Voters of Alabama choose to vote for a PEDOPHILE, nobody can stop them.

    And, Alabama gave 62% of their votes to a RACIST, RAPIST, P-Grabber in 2016.

    It IS Alabama. :salute:

    The OP brought back a memory of Denny Hastert who was the Republican Speaker of the House who led the impeachment charges against Clinton.
    Several years later he lands in jail for trying to cover up a sexual abuse scandal against him.

    I see the present goings on as a case of what goes around, comes around.

    Too bad you don't share that same standard when it comes to Obama, or Hillary. You do understand that every Fascist in history has been a "conservative" right?

    But the claims go further back then the past 6 weeks, and Denny Hastert is in jail for his child molestation. Then there is this:

    Conservative equals small government Fascist equals all the government you can stand and more besides that seem to argue against the nonsensical idea that Fascist are conservative. When it comes to the size of Government progressives and fascist are on exactly the same page.
