Here's one you haven't heard much about

Now if he was a Republican, how much do you think this would be in the news like Akins. Akins is an idiot for what he said, but I have to think this is far worse. Sex in public with a minor.

That's because the Dems haven't had a chance to have this guy's "HERO of the WEEK" trophy engraved yet.........just wait.

This is standard for the Dems, it's only wrong if you get caught!

Gotta love the media bias in this country.....

it seems that is perfectly normal behavior for a democrat politician. so what is the issue.

Democrats are masters of media manipulation. They are more than prepared for the switch to socialism.

Seriously?
No laws broken, no money changed hands.
Whats the big deal? One year (or even two) from 17 to 18 does not magically make you better or smarter.

Whats the big deal? The guy was over the age of consent.

Gee, to my understanding, sex in public is illegal. And I can guarantee, this would have been a BIG deal if the rep had been republican.

Oh noes, not sex in public.
No one has ever done such a heinous act.

I think the issue here is more of the double standard the media places on the two parties. If a republican does something remotely wrong, it is all over the place. If a democrat does something remotely wrong, it is barely covered if at all.

Tell you what. Why don't you do that and tell us how you like your time in jail (up to 2 years). And how you like being on the sex offender list for the rest of your life. I am sure you will not find that so funny. As you are not a liberal politician, I am sure you will not be treated as lightly as Gauthier, (liberal yes, politician no).

And lets talk about when this happened to a Republican, and there was no actual sex.

It's a good thing he didn't tap his foot in a public bathroom. He'd have been screwed then... Wait. What? You said he was a Dem. Never mind.
