>>The fact is that unless you condemn the dems like Rangel, Geitner and others who cant keep their finances in order and who break the law it seems like you have a double standard.<< I do condemn and have condemned Rangel, even within the past few days right here on this thread. That's on the record. Geithner's thing really didn't seem like that big a deal to me. More of an oversight than a crime, and the Justice Department evidently agreed. And again, I'm not condemning O'Donnell for having some tax issues. I just think that a person who can't support herself is not the sort of person one wants in the Senate, no matter what her views may be. You still haven't provided any evidence of "sexual escapades" by Frank, but he's not really relevant to this discussion. One thing I do know is that he displays a high level of competency, whether one agrees with him on the issues or not.

O'Donnell has not held a steady job of any sort since leaving college 14 some years ago, has not served in any governing role whatsoever, has not run even a tiny business (unless you count a perpetual campaign which has always run in the red), and appears to have modest intelligence at best to put it charitably. She is not qualified to be a US Senator in any rational universe that I could possibly imagine. I fully trust that the voters in Delaware will come to the same conclusion, and that her 15 minutes of fame will be over by mid-November. The real shame here is that votes from less than 5% of the registered voters of Delaware put O'Donnell into this position. What a waste of a primary vote.

And J.Edgar Hoover lived with a man as long as Barney Frank but had you questioned his sexual proclivity at all you would be on the FBI's most suspect list. Rangle gets elected only because he has rebuilt Harlem. It is one of the hot spots to live in NYC. There was a time one could not get a taxi to even drive there after 11 pm.. There are reasons for all sorts of WHYS and they do not always make sense but one should not compare fruits. Apples are different from oranges even though they are both fruits. The nut jobs in each party have about the same issues. They don't know what they are talking about but they keep talking. and by darn people listen. And about fiscal responsibility.. what party has spend the most money in the past 20 years. Clinton left the White House with a cloud over his head but he still had a balanced budget. Then along came .... B....................... Who aggravated me by not even combining the expense of the war with the budget. It was separate. Have you looked into what these wars have cost us so far ? TRILLIONS... Fiscal responsibility makes great talk but HOW do to it would make better sense to me. I have always always been for fiscal responsibility in my own life and in my government's life. But................fill in the blanks
