So.....

Let me make sure I understand this: According to some...

1) If you text photos of your penis to a woman you are flirting with online (which, as long as she's over the age of 18, and does not have a restraining order against you, is NOT an illegal act) even though you are married, well then that makes you ineligible to be the mayor of New York City.  BUT....

2) If you are a sitting governor and you use taxpayer funds to fly to South America to be with your mistress (which, improper use of public funds is a crime) even though you are married and you lie to your wife and entire staff about where you are, well then, you are allowed to complete your term as governor and then even be elected to US House Of Representives a few years later.  AND...

3) If you are a sitting US Senator and you use the services of a high level escort numeous times (which, is prostitution, and which is illegal where the actions were done), even though you are married, well then that allows you to remain a US Senator from Lousiana, and even be reelected more than once after it all comes out.

SO, what's the difference about these three scenarios?  Well, nothing illegal was done in #1, and something illegal was done in #s 2 & 3.  What else is different about the three.  Hmm...let me see......oh I KNOW!  #1 involves a Democrat while the other two both involve Republicans.

I'm not saying any of these actions is worse than the other, I'm not saying any one of the politicians is better than the other.  But what I am pointing out, is that according to Republicans, all of this is true: they say Weiner needs to drop out of the NYC race, but they're prefectly content with Sanford in the House and Vitter still in the Senate. 

And further, what I'm pointing out, is that is yet another example of the sheer, bald-faced, hypocracy of the Republican Party.  I will never comprehend how the party of "Family Values" continues to put people like these in office!
