Democrats Run On Hypocrisy: Par for the Course


n 1983, Massachusetts Congressman Gerry Studds was found to have had sexual relations with a 16-year-old male page (No mere cyber-stalking for the Bay State perv.) He was censured by the House, then repeatedly reelected by his ethically-challenged constituents, with the blessings of the Democratic Party...In 1989, Barney Frank admitted to shacking up with a male prostitute, who he met through a personal ad in The Washington Blade (“hot bottom plus large endowment equals good time.”) Senor Large Endowment ran a prostitution ring out of the congressman’s D.C. condo. Frank was censured, then re-elected, with Democratic support. Today, he’s one of his party’s senior statesmen....Democrats Find Their Values Issue, Don Feder, Frontpagemagazine.com

As with the Reid section in the Senate and its offkey playing about Korea, there's nothing quite so brazenly hypocritical as a Democrat running on domestic moral issues. We're used to this in New York. When the author was living in uptown Manhattan, he observed a former city official doing a work-release job, the sort of employment reserved for white collar felons. In this case, it was tax evasion. The former official? David Dinkins, a Democrat who later became Mayor of New York, whose two terms were marked by the biggest crime wave New York had seen in a hundred years...liars don't stop telling lies. They just tell bigger ones.
