Wait, let me get this straight, a politician lied to get into office and you think this is exclusive to John Edwards?
Har Har Frank.
Better than a decade long war and massive recession.
The recession didn't start until after the Dems took control of the Congress.
But political misinformation is the way it's played, not to mention a heavy reliance on the ignorance of the average democratic voter.
When polled after voting for Obama, voters were asked "which party controls congress?" -- The answer overwhelmingly was "the republicans", following the logic of if Bush is a republican then republicans must run the government! Herpa derpa durr!

Right? Every married presidential candidate knocks chicks up, then has their Aid (who is married) take responsibility for the pregnancy, makes his Aid move the girl into his house with his wife and then pays the girl he knocked up with moneys that were paid for the campaign. Alllll in an attempt to conceal the affair from his dying wife while he was running for president.Wait, let me get this straight, a politician lied to get into office and you think this is exclusive to John Edwards?

Yep. Seems pretty normal to me

Just like things don't get fixed overnight, the problems had been coming for years. A lot of people blame Obama for TARP, which was signed by Bush in 2007... So, that first $700+ billion bail out was Bush's baby, but I still hear people blaming Obama today.
The problem is too many Republicans enjoyed the Bush party, and are now blaming Obama for the hangover.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/article...-scandals.html• Republicans have more scandals (35 to 2, but Democrats have bigger ones, based on our methodology (13 out of the top 20).
• Democrats tend to have more problems with harassment, staffers, and underage girls; Republicans tend to have more problems with prostitutes, hypocrisy, and underage boys.

Sorry, but, after looking at the link, I find the Beast about as informative as the writing on a shithouse wall. I generally don't even bother reading these "Joe's Blog" websites for this very reason.
My issues with both Klinton and Edwards, is that they are huge wastes of taxpayer money, in the abuse of power, and the coverup. Klinton lied under oath, how is that not perjury and how didn't he end up in prison and get removed from office? At least Nixon manned up and resigned.

That was literally the first Google result, of hundreds of thousands under the topic of "sex scandals by political party". Don't like that one, there are plenty more results all showing the same information.
Also, Clinton is the only President in history, ever, to not leave a deficit. Kind of difficult to call him a money waster.
So whatever he "wasted money" on, at least it still stayed under budget.

I don't normally get into political discussions because they tend to involve people from both parties finger-pointing, screaming, and blaming, but Clinton's "surplus" involved a lot of "cooking the books" to make it look like he didn't have a deficit. He also benifited from having an inflated economic upswing due in large part to the housing market, which we now realize was a hugely inflated market, and the dot-com buble, which was incredibly over-valued.
As much as I despised Clinton (the man) I do have to admit America had some pretty good times during his time in office.
Then again, most economist would tell you that it takes several years for the economic policies of a president to be felt, meaning that the boom following Bush I were a carry over from Reagon/Bush I.
Who knows, I'm not an economist.
"If not us, who? If not now, when?"
Yep, and we know what happened when the dot.com bubble burst, don't we?
Also, perjury is still perjury, and wasting taxpayer dollars covering it up is still.....well.....

Or Nixon was a pussy and bailed before things got too hot while Clinton had the intestinal fortitude to stick it out and win in the end?

If you go back to the time when Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives (a lot of people tend to forget he actually was impeached), the Dems controlled enough seats in Senate that Clinton to prevent the two-thirds majority necessary to remove him from office. To say he had the "intestinal fortitude to stick it out" is like saying calling someone lucky when they've won a game that was fixed in their favor.Or Nixon was a pussy and bailed before things got too hot while Clinton had the intestinal fortitude to stick it out and win in the end?
Easy does it there. I'm not condoning Edwards' actions, but find it laughable that any rational person would think that lies, sex scandals, corruption, and other despicable deeds are somehow foreign to political office, or, as Frank thinks, they only apply within a single party.Right? Every married presidential candidate knocks chicks up, then has their Aid (who is married) take responsibility for the pregnancy, makes his Aid move the girl into his house with his wife and then pays the girl he knocked up with moneys that were paid for the campaign.

Frank was trolling, yet again, and I took the bait.
Lie about a war so we can finish Daddy's unfinished war for oil......OR......lie about banging some chick on the side. Hmmmmmmmm Not a tough choice there.

Yep. Although in Klinton's case, "Intestinal fortitude" means he has his head up his ass........

War for oil? So, that's why we have gas now for $.50/gal, right? Because we got all that free oil, right?

I never said they apply only to Dems, but the 2 biggest scandals were Dem, were they not? And, if I remember, Gary Hart was a Dem also, right?Easy does it there.
