Again, this admin has claimed a moral position which it has repeatedly failed to live up to.

And yet the media does not hold them to account for it. So your thesis is wrong.

They do not attack the Republicans because the Republican claimed moral high ground. They attack the Republican because he or she is a Republican. And they let the Democrats skate because the Democrat is a Democrat. Period.

Saying it was because the Republican claimed moral high ground was always just an excuse to pursue their bias.

The media has been completely unmasked.

When the next GOP President and Congress is elected, will they have the political will to go back and prosecute these clear criminal violations, just as the Obama Administration seeks to prosecute anything under Bush instead of those would REALLY break the law? Oh, and will we say that we won’t as we do it? Ah, the messages we send our children…

With the New Black Panthers breaking election laws, the secretary of Justice a tax evader, and now a governer caught up in corruption. All being let off the hook. How dare they look into the CIA for improper conduct.

They dare because they are rotten from the top down!

Sarah Palin was investigated for every spurious allegation anyone could come up with, why not Richardson for the pay-to-play allegations involving one of the Democratic governor’s large political donors?

Nobody in NM has the guts to follow this through? Why is Washington involved? Nobody in D.C. stopped the suits filed against Sarah Palin.

If this isn’t the same ol’ same ol’ hypocrisy of the Dimmies… aaargh!

I just realized that I slightly mis-spoke. Claiming the moral high-ground isn’t in itself what gets Repubs in trouble. The trouble is that when they do fail, the media and political opponents are far more harsh on them than they are on Dems that fall off.

i.e.: When a Repub cheats on his wife with a professional lady of the evening, he is nailed hard by the media, usually because he has taken a family values type of stance. When a Dem does it, there’s barely a whisper, because the Dem never promised he’d be good, so he “hasn’t really done wrong.” See how that works?

Again, this admin has claimed a moral position which it has repeatedly failed to live up to.

newt gingrich never committed a crime, he screwed around on his wife, and we all know thats a badge of honor for democrats. oliver north went on trial for his sin of following orders. what we are talking about here are democrats who NEVER go to trial for their crimes, they are just swept aside by a corrupt ethics commission and an equally corrupt doj. i can’t wait to hear the howl from you when the next congress impeaches holder over these findings.
