What Double Standard?


How come Democrat politicians are allowed to illegally tap cell phones, enrich themselves with crooked land deals, and get caught red-handed with $90,000 in cash in their freezer, while Republicans are persecuted just for being gay and trying to get a little some some?

You could argue that it is hypocritical of Senator Larry Craig to be anti-gay if he is gay himself. But you could also argue that it's hypocritical for someone who gets $400 haircuts to make poverty the centerpiece of his campaign platform, or to take illegal campaign contributions while criticizing your opponents "culture of corruption".

Of all the crimes taking place in Washington, being gay isn't one of them.


Comments

Your point is succinctly and interestingly put, in this entry.

It's been awhile since I've been back to 'Ravenwood's Universe' (the same is true for many weblogs). I am thinking I may have it on my blogroll still. As I have recently commented (at other sites), it is depressing to see how many weblogs that were there are no longer up and running... It has been refreshing therefore, during the past couple of hours, to find that many of of those blogs that I used to read are still there.

I don't agree with all of your viewpoints and perspectives, but keep up the good work, with your site.
