No, he was not just responsible for his actions. He was in a position where he knowingly was or could have been compromised by blackmail, etc. His actions had the potential of affecting millions.

Was that part of those conservative principles you’re talking about?

Well, dragnet2, that is pretty much the way things work whether you are a ditch digger, a small business entrepreneur, a policeman, a politician, a judge or just a plain old husband or wife, father or mother.

Really? Ya think anyone buys your bull sh*t?

Unlike ditch diggers, do those in the Senate and Congress not take an oath? Did you ever read it?

What an intemperate fool you are. If you read what I wrote instead of just going off you would see that we are not really in disagreement.

As far as oaths go, I might know a little more about such things than you think, even though, obviously, you know so very much more than most.

Or do you think that only certain people should be held responsible for their actions and others not? Only oath takers? Yourself excepted, perhaps?

Those with small authority can only hurt a few others. Those with great authority, like Hastert, can, as you say, hurt millions. No argument. I said essentially that. Our biggest problem today is not the Denny Hasterts of this country, but the millions and millions of irresponsible people, from ditch diggers to presidents, who don’t care about those whose lives can be hurt because of their misdeeds. We have bred a culture of irresponsibility.

EVERYONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEM ... EVERYONE!
