    Any 30+ male who consistently hits on teenage is a sicko who could care less if he emotionally harms them. I won't even get into accusations he pressured them for sex, or the claims of the woman who said he hit on her when she was 14.

    Please tell us why he would do that?

    This is the guy you wanted back in the White House?

    Corroboration from 9 women in Moore's case
    I have little doubt that none of the women who would have said anything against Trump are willing to come forward now, being afraid for their lives if they do

    My wife is very much like my sainted mother, thank you very much and I've not dated at all since I married her.

    I'm guessing you think I'm stupid enough to reply to bait and get booted myself

    Just think, bad behavior only made Bill Clinton more popular. Besides who are you to judge what's bad and what's not in this day and age? Hell some people can't even figure out what bathroom to go to.

    That's the point; people do stupid stuff. OTOH, shouldn't we expect more from those in positions of power? It's one thing for a boss to get blown by an intern in his office, but it's another if it's the President of the United States. The Democrats use the same argument you are using; it's just a blowjob; "It's not really against the law. It's kinda stupid but not much else."

    Lets see, we have a whole host of Hollywood actresses who are in positions of power in the film industry who got their naked pics hacked. Lets fire all of them first. But hey, libs for the first to say that Billy getting a BJ in the WH was OK and set the standard. Now libs want to beyach about it. Typical. Men have had mistresses and indiscretions for centuries. Lord Nelson openly paraded his as did Julius Caesar. And there is LMAO JFK, who made Clinton look like a piker in terms of getting laid on the job. Spare me.

    Quite, just about all the theologians I've read say that Paul was far more influential than Jesus, and Paul was the very essence of a misogynistic homosexual. Christianity's reputation as the 2nd most sexually repressive religion comes mainly from that.
    Hey, it takes TIME to do a proper job of impeaching someone. Patience, the longer we take building a good case the longer Orange Crush will be in Leavenworth and the longer Republicans will take recovering from the humiliation. Right now i think you won't be able to seriously run another Presidential candidate until 2040

    It's good that you can recognize yourself in the mirror, Renee. Admitting you have a problem is the first step to solving it.

    Wow. You consider a Hollywood actress to be someone in a position of power equal to a Senator, General or President? That's very sad.

    All things considered, I bet you can't name more than a half dozen. In fact, most of them will hardly pass any legislation over the course of years. What most of them are are votes to be used by the leadership. Entirely some of the most replaceable people on the planet.

    Sadly, a popular actor/actress has more power than your average Congressmen, because NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING OVER THERE. When all you do is collect a paycheck and fight the other guy by passing NOTHING, what is your purpose? A hollywood personality can say something that 10s of millions of people will pay attention to. They can start a foundation that actually doesn't waste tax dollars. Only a handful of people in DC truly have that sort of reach. Most people couldn't give a **** what 98% of them say.

    Sorry, I'll let you be in charge of Hollywood actresses while I focus on what's important: our national leadership.

    It appears you are correct, although he wouldn't be alone in putting too much credence in what Hollywood actresses, musicians and sports stars think.

    Isn't that part of the problem? Low information voters and voter apathy?

    Yes, but it's also due to the apathy of our elected officials and the fact they can keep getting reelected indefinitely. EVERYONE in every office needs term limits. Much of it is the voters just voting the same people in over and over again, mostly because anyone new gets thrashed by those with too much influence and power due to said LACK of term limits.

    I have no sympathy for the powerful men - who are almost all liberals

    But I do worry that the age old battle of the sexes has been won by women and the workplace will become exclusively female

    Or maybe not all women

    Neutered liberal men like Pajama Boy who are no threat to female dominance will be allowed to stay

    I expect several of those "elected officials" will become unelected next November.

    When Americans are given only two choices, they'll often choose the lesser of two evils. In this case, it's "throw the bums out". The Democrats have a strong shot at regaining the House and on closing their margin in the Senate.
