I believe that whether it is Foley, Livingston, Newt, or whomever... Persons who shatter the public trust like those I have mentioned have no place in politics!

So does Rush, what's your point?

I don't know of anyone who is defending the actions of Foley.

Yet, when breach of trust seems to have occurred, one party circles the wagons around the criminals and debates what the meaning of "is" is. Certain people fervently adore that party. They think it is admirable how well their politicians can lie.

The other major party notes a breach of trust, and cashiers even the Speakers of the House who do such things. They carry no water for those who violate the power entrusted to them. They understand the power that a person in power has over a younger, more vulnerable person.

The difference is that, instead of merely using such a concept to beat upon their opponents, and then rushing out the attack dogs to decry the politics of personal destruction that those trailer trash are spewing.... this other party maintains that no one is above the law, whether members of their own party... or even Democrats and journalists.

I suppose the question really becomes...

Which party do you want defending your grandchildren?

His daily rant implies that Foley ought to be held to the same standard of the Democrats...
