Hypocrisy is the bedrock of all politics. Everyone knows it, so I can only guess why you're all acting so surprised that these Republicans are behaving like politicans. The party doesn't claim the higher ground so much as it panders to it and Democrats aren't the only people who can tell the differnce. But do they really believe that by saying, "They're just as bad as we are," that they can attract more voters? I don't see the point in any of this. Foley resigned and admited himself to an alcohol rehab center. Voting Democrat will not prevent his kind from winning public office, not by any stretch of the imagination. This controversy isn't a censure on a particular political party, just on one particular man. But a lot of people have this 'blame everyone' attitude that's ruining the concept of personal accountability.
