But for some one who is so ready to accuse others, spec. Dems, of wrong doing if they happen to be anywhere near a incident

You can't document one statement I've made accusing any Democrat where there wasn't substantial evidence. In the Enron instance, there is absolutely ZERO evidence to suggest that Bush or any person in the Bush Administration has done anything wrong, or even borderline unethical.

The simple fact is that Democrats are, empirically, much more likely to be involved in scandal than are Republicans. That's not to say an occasional Republican doesn't get his butt in a sling; but overall, Democrats have more problems than do Republicans.

There is, of course, a reason for this. Republicans, as conservatives, simply have much better better definition of right and wrong. Liberals constantly blur the line between right and wrong, whereas conservatives typically have very clear perspectives about it. The typical liberal (for example, a Clinton, Gore, or Daschle) can bend the limits of right and wrong to accomodate a current circumstance. The typical conservative (a Bush or Gingrich) has well-defined principles that, regardless of circumstances, will be adhered to. While there are certainly exceptions (for both conservatives and liberals), it is clear that the more liberal a person is the more likely they can't distinguish right from wrong. This kind of extreme, convoluted liberalism is exemplified by the Clintons and the Hollywood crowd (like this total nitwit Altman or Baldwin).

As I heard it put early on, "There is no 'there' there".
