Backstabbing Hypocrites

Sorry, but I couldn't let something about the whole Senator Craig fiasco go by unmentioned. If you don't know the story, then here's a brief rundown. The Senator allegedly was soliciting gay sex in an airport bathroom. He denies it, and is instead pleading guilty to disorderly conduct. He was on tape arguing with a cop over what events occurred. That's long story short, look it up on your own. What I really want to talk about is how the Republican and Democratic parties deal with party member scandals. With Craig, what you are seeing the Republican party do is distance themselves from him. They are telling him to resign. They are pretty much shunning him. With, for example, the scandal involving the one guy with 9 grand in his freezer, he's keeping office and the Dem party is not crying for his crucifixion. Call me ill informed and naive, but the Democratic party sticks together. The Democratic party stuck by Clinton while the Republican party voted to impeach. It just seems that the Republican party would rather kill one of their own than help them and support them. I guess they are trying to save what very little face they have left after what Bush did to the Republican party, but still. Killing the career of every one of their own in order to try to win is just absurd. That's a little rant. I have a small thing on the San Diego and Charger Stadium thing I'm thinking about.
