Nothing nonconsensual happened. There is no rape here. No sexual contact at all, as a matter of fact. Not to mention that legally there is no such thing and consensual sex between a minor and an adult.

That fact alone makes your hypocrisy between the teacher cases and this case so painfully obvious, that your objections are laughable to read. He talks dirty and you want to hang him. The teachers fsck the brains out of their students and you high five them and wink to your friends about unlived childhood fantasies. Pure hypocrisy.

I am not defending him. I could not have made that any more clear if I tried. That you try to pull that out of your ass is nothing short of amazing.

For the umpteenth time: What he did was immoral and unethical and he was right to resign.

That you still think the responsibility of a teacher for their children is somehow any less than a congressman for his page simply magnifies your hypocrisy to a point of pure absurdity.

Make a numbered list of who people trust their kids to, and teacher will fall right below family at the top of the list. Congressmen will be way down on the list.

Finally, I have no affinity for Republicans. I could never have made that more clear in my posts. Funny how now I'm a Republican partisan simply because I point out the partisan witch hunt in this case. And that's just what it is: A partisan, homophobic witch hunt cloaked in the moral outrage over some dirty words from a man to a male teenager... while female teachers who fsck their male students are worthy of little more than a wink and a smile.

So go on... keep denying the obvious. Any objective person can see right through your hypocrisy.

All you did was reiterate what I've already responded to. My comments stand. Try addressing those instead of replaying what you've already commented on.

Congressmen should use bookmarks rather than bending over the pages.

I did respond to them. They're absurd. How you can deny the obvious is beyond me.

Consent: The teen never told the congressman to stop, go away, or not contact him. In fact, the teen's responses were leading. There is NO question of consent here. It's words. NO sexual contact took place. Just dirty talk.

And, yet again, consent is rather moot since a teen cannot legally consent anyhow.

Compare this to the teachers who fscked the brains out of their students. Many while married and some even getting pregnant.

You have no valid excuse for the wildly different reactions between the two. None. Let's face it, had the teachers been male and the students also male, the reaction to those cases would have been much closer to this. The only thing missing would have been the partisan witch hunt.

Yet you deny this obvious homophobic aspect in the reactions to this story. Absurd.

Abuse of power: That you can call a congressman talking dirty to a page a greater abuse of power than a teacher fscking their students is, yet again, absurd. As I pointed out, and you ignored, ask ANY parent who they trust more with their kids and who they would feel more violated if that trust were broken and a teacher will top that list.

Nice dodge, though.

Why not just admit there is a HUGE disparity in reactions to the cases and no logical reason for that disparity?

Oh wait... to do so would mean you would have to admit being homophobic, partisan, or both.

Well, you know what they say: The first step is admitting you have a problem.

I'm neither homophobic or partisan. You can continue to slur me all you want, but that fact remains that I am not.

For the record, you should go back and read my posts. I never defended the teacher's right to have sex with underage kids. You asked for some differences and I gave them to you. Gender and political party are not reasons that I ever mentioned. They were things you mentioned in an attempt to ad-hom me because I didn't roll over and agree with your post.

Oh knock it off. You have no valid reason for the HUGE discrepency of reactions between the cases. None. You tried in vain, but failed. Why? I have no idea.

Amused, feel free to have the last word since you so desperately need it. My points remain, and you've done nothing to address them.

You had no points. You've shown NO valid reason for the discrepancy. None.
