    Double standards

    Democrats accused of sexual misconduct resign, are forced out, fired or quit.

    Republicans accused of sexual misconduct run for office.

    WTF is wrong with people?
    People who think a movie about plastic dolls is trying to turn their kids gay or trans are now officially known as

    Barbie Q’s

    It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    Take it even a set further, countless times the right has heralded themselves as being the "moral, family oriented, value driven, patriot" of the two party system. Whenever someone on the left, like Harvey Milk, some hollywood elitist, or Bill Clinton did something, they call them deviants, but when it's time to apply the same label for someone on the right, they either attempt to excommunicate that person from the GOP by calling them a RINO, or they double down in their support for them, see Trump and Moore.
    “Conscientiously believing that the proper condition of the negro is slavery, or a complete subjection to the white man, and entertaining the belief that the day is not distant when the old Union will be restored with slavery nationally declared to be the proper condition of all of African descent, and in view of the future harmony and progress of all the States of America, I have been induced to issue this address, so that there may be no misunderstanding in the future”

    Isn't there a huge distinction here -- the D's admit and acknowledge whereas Moore adamantly denies?

    So, is that the secret? Just refuse to admit it and you can get away with it?

    What's wrong is deciding guilt upon mere accusation. In order to argue from hypocrisy you need established facts and data, not mere impressions.

    If the precedent is set that unproven allegations are enough to force a resignation, who will populate Washington? BTW, thread title made irony meters across the galaxy, short circuit! lol
