"The most significant fact is obviously that in Studds' case, since the [DEMOCRATIC] leadership did not force him out, it was up to the voters to decide."

However Democrats take a different course when Repulblicans are involved.

And there is no sexual acts involved with Foley, Just emails and IMs but they are treated wuith more importance that actual sex acts by a Democrat.

"If Foley's own leaders had not forced him to resign" Foley resigned voluntarily, unlike the Democrat that engaged in actual sex acts.

"But, of course, if an adult Democrat has a little sex play with another adult , and the whole pat-and-tickle session is consentual, said Democrat should be publicly flogged, then hanged, drawn, and quartered."

From The Congressional Report On Gerry Studds:
Studds went to D.C. in '73. It was learned the same year he was having a sexual relationship with a 17 [the boy was born in the spring of 1956 and the trip occured in August 1973 when the boy was 16] year old page.

This "investigation" conducted by the House Ethics Committee (a Democratic controlled House) took TEN years. In '83 Studds was censured but not asked to resign and the Democratic leadership rallied around Studds to get him reelected again, and again and again. Many of them voted against centure.

According to DF: if an adult Republican sends inappropriate emails and IMs to another adult, said Republican should be publicly flogged, then hanged, drawn, and quartered.

You can continue your supercilious personal attacaks all you want. They are very entertaining and revealing.
