Um ... that stealing part goes both ways. For example, the last four year of US dollars given by our government to Iraq, to help them "rebuild the country", given with zero accountability?

Billions, just "gone".

And Haliburton.

i'm not surprised you disagree at all. you suggested your bias didn't affect your opinions, but if your bias skews your perspective-as it does-then obviously it will affect everything you think about your party.

as i mentioned a few posts ago, john mccains name was all over that savings and loan scandal back a few years.
then there's iran contra, nixon and watergate-none of those are sex scandals. i'm pretty sure that while keating and company were taking their lumps, mccain remained in office. reagan did his eight, nixon chose to resign but was pardoned by his former vp....etc, etc
