Indiana GOP Congressman resigns after affair

[Londo_Jowo]

Wonder how you would make out if you committed perjury, my bet is you would go to jail.

 

[Strk]

About a blowjob.

The reason behind the trial was stupid, but perjury is still perjury.

Probaby not if the question I was anwering had nothing to do with the case. Like, say, if I was being questioned for a real estate bankrupcy, and the proscuter asked me if I had had sex with someone.

But keep telling yourself it was a legitimate, disinterested effort to get to the truth and not a cynical, politically motivated investigation, just like the GOP admitted Benghazi is.

 

[Blackjack200]

Yes it was. Perjury about a blow job.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

You can say blow job for the rest of your life however, it will never change the fact Clinton was impeached for committing perjury. End of story.

About a blowjob.

no he was busted for lieing under oath. Now we can argue rather or not he should have been asked if he had sex with her. I would agree its nobody business. It's between him his wife.

but no he was not impeached over a blowjob..

Democrats have had their sex scandals. Recently it does seem like more Republicans, but as UK pointed out there was Weiner, and there was also John Edwards, Jim McGreevey, Eliot Spitzer.

yeah it's not a polical party/wealth issue/color issue. just fucktards being fucktards.

He was impeached for lying under oath about a blowjob.

And he was sanctioned for it, besides being impeached.

Didn't he commit the perjury when he was being sued for sexual harassment?

 

[sandorski]

He committed Perjury, but most people see that the question was out of line and should never have been asked. So the "Clinton lied" crowd can claim a victory, but it is completely Pyrrhic.

 

[dank69]

Is this the guy who was claiming his phone was stolen and saying the explicit material was sent while stolen?

Is that what happened? Did someone get a hold of his phone and blast his email list with the naughty videos he made? Or did he blast everyone by mistake and concoct the stolen phone story?

And you can say "end of story" for the rest of your life, but it never will be; people will always know the simple fact that the "perjury" was lying about a blowjob.

There will always be this inconvenient asterisk attached to this story.

Semantics will not change how history remembers this colossal waste of time effort and money.

Another issue that only matters to people who were never going to vote for a Democrat anyway.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

Based on what Democrats say these days it would have made him the Misogynist in Chief back then.

 

[HomerJS]

Lying under oath is perjury no matter how you slice it.

Lying about sex in civil cases happens all the time. They are not prosecuted.

 

[soulcougher73]

Another GOP religious hypocrite. Who woulda thunk it?

 

[1prophet]

Someone needs to explain to me how and when Bill Clinton FORCED his lifestyle (or view of a lifestyle) on the American people. Because Unokitty sure as hell hasn't, nor can.

He signed the Defense of Marriage Act forcing Americans to accept the union of a male and female as the legal definition of marriage for federal purposes, undermining all gays who wanted to get married.

Bernie Sanders was against it then,

In 1996, then-Representative Sanders voted against the Defense of Marriage Act, which barred recognition of gay marriage at the federal level

Guess what Hillary's position was back then:awe:

And this is a much, much more legitimate criticism than the email garbage. This and her vote for the Iraq war. She absolutely should be held to account.

 

[Thump553]

Male politician having an affair with an of-age female. That's a remarkable improvement for the GOP where the sex scandals usually involve closet homosexuals or children.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Solution is for Republicans to be more like Democrats?

Just a question....

yes, that is the exact solution to all the problems the republicans have. thank you for asking.

 

[shira]

Just a question....

Democrats don't run on holier-than-thou "Family Values" platforms.

Try again.

 

[shira]

Well, he did sign the Defense of Marriage Act.

There's a huge difference between signing a bill - especially one that Clinton later acknowledged was a big mistake - and putting your "family values" front and center, then proceeding to trash them.

I see your 'end of story' certainty didn't end anything because, of course, you're mentally defective. You can only process data linearly in a black and white on off fashion because you can't don't have the processing power to include what for you would be 'scary' contextual relationships. You don't own the Yellow Submarine you need to sail a Sea of Green.

Sure, but Republicans have their financial scandals too.

Yup.

An of-age female in his chain of command - something for which Clinton's DoJ prosecuted other men and women.

 

[RampantAndroid]

About a blowjob.

Wasn't it about MORE than that? As in, they tried to get her (the woman who went to Kenneth Starr, I mean) charged for perjury? That is *very* different.
