Good riddance. You aren’t the kind of candidate we want anyway.

“You aren’t the kind of candidate we want anyway.”

I’m sure he isn’t. Abstinence only education, traditional family “values”, heavy influence of the bible in his political beliefs, creationist. He sounds just like your kinda candidate.

Just another Republican hypocrite exposed as a fraud.

Ah, I guess that means that Richard Bluementhal is YOUR kind of candidate?

Talks a lot about honor and service, and his time fighting in Vietnam… that is, until it turns out HE NEVER SERVED!

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/18/nyregion/18blumenthal.html

I’m sure Mediaite will post something about this story any second now. Or Colby will delete this post (just like another) because it doesn’t agree with his spin.

ImNotBlue, the story of Blumenthal is on Mediaite, tard.

Snizpor for the win… and it’s good!

Hey look at that! You’re right! It was hiding out in the non-TV section, where they put the stuff they don’t want people to read. Neat!

I wonder, though… why was this story in the TV section… but not that one? Oh, because Souder was in a video at some point… and Blumenthal has never been on television. Wait…

Anyway… so what do you have to say about him? Is he the “typical Democratic candidate.” I guess you’d agree… you know, so you can be consistent. Right?

But humor me, if you don’t mind. I’d just love to see you write it for me. Write something similar to what you wrote above… just play fair. Ready… set… go!

Agreed, Colby.

It shows the eagerness of people like “ImNotBlue” to try and insinuate some sort of evil liberal bias which does not exist on this site.

Mediaite fairly calls out the hypocrites on the left and the right.

And they delete posts they don’t agree with. But I guess you consider that “fair” because it’s folks on the right.

But speaking of hypocrites. Have you corrected yourself? Remember a few days ago, you were playing the race cad like a Vegas poker dealer… and then I had to correct you… twice. And you “ignored it” and then ran away? Have you changed your mind? Have you corrected yourself? Or are you still playing the race game… badly?

Mediaite fairly calls out the hypocrites on the left and the right.

Let’s not pretend that although they occassionally point out hypocrites on the left that it’s equal.

Just another Jesus-loving values-voter caught with their pants down.

Regarding your other question, I don’t know what thread you are referring too. I post on many here and if it’s older, I don’t go back and check them every 5 mins because, you know, I have a life.

At least we get rid of ours, Fox News. We don’t keep around serial cheaters\murders for decades.

Anyways, derailing aside, this guy is amongst a bunch of traditional family value conservatives (Amongst all parties) that are caught in affairs. Gee, perhaps, and this is just a theory, the public repression of carnal instincts… actually no, the public denouncement of casual sex will perhaps lead to bad things will only make one more likely to be unfaithful.

I wonder, maybe he’s in the closet about evolution too. These family value types are generally in the closet.

Colby you just proved a suspicion that has been building in my mind lately about mediaite.

You, as an official blogger/editor of Mediaite just praised and repeated a comment in which another commenter was called a “tard”. I can now say that all the cesspool aromas emanating from this site can be laid directly at the feet of Mediaite staff.

That says a great deal about you and none of it remotely good.

jeez grammie. do you really think that I believe calling someone a “tard” is a great point?

for someone who doesn’t like the cesspool aroma emanating from the site grammie, you sure spend a lot of time sniffing around

Everyone is weak and has failings. But thats why I’ve always seen the effort to merge “morality” and politics to be a huge fraud inflicted on American voters. The Republican rise to power was fueled in large part on the suggestion of their moral superiority over Democrats. HA! This is why they deserve special condemnation.

This is just another example of how these “family values” politician tricked their voters into thinking they were “extra special moral people who would hand down judgment on all them liberal sinners” but turned out to be only using their morality claims as a shield to keep their supporters distracted.

Don’t be a sucka. Don’t fall for politicians who have an angry “pro family” platform. They are just pushing your buttons and just covering up for their own moral failings. Just like the leader of the Christian Right who was caught last week with his loverboy in Europe, this scold is the latest example of the grand fraud which is the Conservative movement.

Yet another conservative politician with a liberal penis.

How would you like me to do that? I’ll tell you that it talked about Colby’s grammatical mistake that said: “…presumably to an audience that has little to KNOW understanding of the digital age.” And yet, the post is fixed now. I can tell you that it also criticized the fact that that statement is based upon no fact, no merit, and is completely made up my Colby! But remember… it was my post, and another post, that were removed… the other one pointed out the “KNOW” issue first… my post built upon that, and all the other errors.

Regarding your other question, I don’t know what thread you are referring too. I post on many here and if it’s older, I don’t go back and check them every 5 mins because, you know, I have a life.

Yeah I had a feeling you would say that. The only problem is you actually responded to someone else AFTER I responded to you. So you saw my post… and my link… and then ignored it. So you checked the thread, and then ran away. Got it.

Jeez Colby, yeah b.c you first praised Snip and then repeated his “tard” unedited and without any hint of disapproval.

As for the “sniffing” (such a charming choice of words) you have just decided something I have been considering for awhile, which is to follow in Anonymous Finch’s footsteps.

Actually adding ‘tard was intention. I wanted another example of people paying attention to an editorial comment within a legitimate pointing out of facts. I’m quite proud of you guys, really.

yes I deleted you comment ImNotBlue, not because you pointed out the grammatical error (which has since been corrected) but the very aggressive and unnecessarily unpleasant way you went about it. You’ve been warned about personal attacks before, and you are very close to getting banned from the site. The writers and editors on the site simply don’t have enough time to worry about personal attacks made by commentors on the discussion boards. So – check yourself before you wreck yourself.

Thank you Colby.

I look forward to the day when Mediaite starts to ban people. It is long past due.

ok I looked back and read the thread again. Yes, you are right, I’m Not Blue. The GOP is now running a few African American candidates. I had not seen that NY Times story.

I’m glad they are finally getting on the train. They have a long way to go to catch up to those racists in the Democratic party, who have over 25 African Americans currently serving in the House.

Colby Hall says:
May 18, 2010 at 12:46 pm

Colby… I have submitted so many quotes from other posters who have said far worse than anything I have ever thought about mentioning. And yet… nothing.

Why is that? Is it because you don’t actually read their comments (as you said, you’re very busy… but not too busy to read my stuff… and I’ve submitted stuff that way you don’t have to search it out)? Is it because they’re from the left, so a poster calling another post a “crazy b!tch” is acceptable? Or is it simply that you don’t like when posters criticize the writers?

You appear to have a double standard going here.

For another example, look at the next post agreeing with you… from, “Fox News: We proudly pander to Teabaggers.” That’s more acceptable here? That’s the kind of language you don’t have a problem with?

Methinks (and here’s helpful suggestion) you should post a “rules of posting,” on this site. A lot of sites have them… a stated policy to follow. That way you can outline where I’ve crossed the line… where other’s are okay… and why spam is acceptable.

And let me ask you this… if some of those candidates run, win the party nomination, but lose the general election… does that mean the Democrats are racist because they didn’t vote in the minority candidate?

Yet, you all worship the serial adulterer and dead beat dad, Newt Gingrich and the gay divorcee Rudy!

The apologies from these guys are priceless. Regardless of any claims of accepting responsibility, they can’t help but play the victim. Here’s Rep. Souder: “In the poisonous environment of Washington, D.C., any personal failing is seized upon and twisted for political gain. I am resigning rather than put my family through a painful drawn out process.” Sorry Mr. Souder but you brought this on yourself. The environment in D.C. has nothing to do with your choices: to pitch yourself as pro-family values and cheat on your wife with a staffer. Plus, it’s not like Republicans can claim they are above using personal failings of others for political gain or continually pretending that they have a monopoly on family values.

Tyler,
Liberal Democrats are permitted to engage in extramarital affairs because they do not run on the “family values” mantra. Of course you get a lot of extra votes if you can harnass that “pro-family values” crowd, but if you go that way, better be clean. Unlike Vitter, Sanford, Ensign, Gulianni, and now Souder (not to mention Newt Gingrich who was having an extra-marital affair as he was condemning Clinton and urging his impeachment.). This is a true LOL moment. The big question is: why did Souder resign? Usually the family values politicians or spokespeople just cry, say they are sorry, and thank Jesus for His forgiveness. Or, like Newt, just offer a cynical smile as you decry the moral depravity of the opposition.. At least Souder will get a chance to become a FOX talking head, since FOX loves to pick up these Dick Morris wanabes as a moral compass for right wing politics.

you have just decided something I have been considering for awhile, which is to follow in Anonymous Finch’s footsteps.

Does that mean they’re also allowed to lie about military service, because they don’t run on a “military support” stance.

What a dumb statement, val. It’s the action that’s wrong… not the statement. You can speak about spousal abuse, and why you shouldn’t beat your wife… and if at the end of the day you start swinging, your crime is no better or worse than someone who never said they weren’t an abuser! It’s bad behavior… period.

Wait, he’s from Nevada, anything goes there. Ooohhh, didn’t he have an illegal as a nanny too? Jeff Miller perhaps? No, he’s still in office too. Don Sherwood would have stayed in office had he not been defeated, which means your party didn’t get rid of him, the people did. This guy was having a 30 year affair. These are just the high profile ones discovered in the last five years, there’s no idea how many John “Tan and Spend” Boehner has helped cover up.

In fairness, Vitter frequents professionals. That, and the fact that his diaper is changed often make it alright.

Hey guys, don’t give a pass to Republican congressman Ken Calvert,

In 1993 he was caught by the Corona, California Police Department receiving oral sex from a prostitute and attempted to flee the scene.[19][20] The Press-Enterprise went to court to force the Corona police to release the police report.[21].

The dude is a(n)? hypocrite. <- do you have to put an "n" in front of an "h" anymore? I just did it!

The bottom line is that our elected officials are willing to lie, cheat and basically do or say anything to secure their positions and pander to whomever supports them. That's unacceptable.

Term limits, back in 1994, were all the rage. But once those people got in power, they became addicted to the same myopic vision of government that their predecessors had. Namely, I'm the only one that can help my constituents.

The answer is a little elusive. I've always been a fan for a 1 term, 6 year Presidency and 2 Senatorial terms.
For Congress; I've never been quite able to figure that one out. The minute a person is elected to Congress they are running again.

Blue,
So you would argue that there is a moral equivalency to standing up as a family values proponent, as a sitting Congressman, and a candidate being fast and lose about his Viet Nam war service? I wouldn’t equate the two, but I would condemn Blumenthal for being a liar and a jerk, wholeheartedly.

These ‘beauty queens’ should have learned their lesson by now. Never give your own opinion if it’s not politically correct. The left really hates that.

OH LORD I HAVE SINNED!

Val:

a candidate being fast and lose about his Viet Nam war service?”

A liberal euphemism for lying.

Nice play, Val!

This is misspeaking to a liberal:

From the NY Times:
At a ceremony honoring veterans and senior citizens who sent presents to soldiers overseas, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut rose and spoke of an earlier time in his life.

“We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam,” Mr. Blumenthal said to the group gathered in Norwalk in March 2008. “And you exemplify it. Whatever we think about the war, whatever we call it — Afghanistan or Iraq — we owe our military men and women unconditional support.”

There was one problem: Mr. Blumenthal, a Democrat now running for the United States Senate, never served in Vietnam. He obtained at least five military deferments from 1965 to 1970 and took repeated steps that enabled him to avoid going to war, according to records.

According to the left, since they never claim to have any morals, they can’t be called hypocrites or immoral when they slip up.

Hey Tyler, there is another thread for Bluementhal.

Or are you so desperate to deflect from the Republican here caught with his pants down?

Just so I’m clear.

It’s ok to print daily (if not hourly) reports on MSNBC ‘reporters’ calling conservatives names (personal attacks) and accusing them of other awful things (more personal attacks). [Keep in mind, if these attacks were not reprinted here, no one would ever hear them]

And, it’s ok for Colby to repeat a personal attack (see ‘TARD’ comment above) and state that he/she agrees with it, but it’s not OK for BLUE to make personal attacks (which I’ve never actually seen).

Just checking. Just so everyone is clear. If you agree with Mediate, then you can call anyone anything with no repercussions, but if you disagree with Mediate, then watch what you say. OK, sounds about right for an organization that was formed out of MSNBC scraps. (olbermann anyone?)

Oh, and shoot, Mediaite put their article on Bluementhal on their “Online” page, which few people go to.

I wonder why?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Zakk

I haven’t seen a comment from I’m Not Blue or Grannie since they made their comments.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Souder recently spoke about the lack of a “moral compass” in Washington. Ironic, don’t you think?

http://www.indianasnewscenter.com/news/local/94141614.html

Republicans who have affairs resign. Democrats who have affairs run for President. And that alone tells you a lot about the difference between the two parties.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEl0wMmyZ2Q&feature=player_embedded

Bluementhal talking about his service or return or something from Vietnam. Draining the swamp. Most ethical congress / senate ever. Blah, blah, blah…. they are all crooks. (both sides)

Tyler, I noticed that too. Looks like someone is in timeout.

No, No, no, Zakk- that’s not lying.

According to Valk that’s just “a candidate being fast and lose about his Viet Nam war service.

I mean, it depends on what the definition of “is” is.

What’s with the obsession over someone saying “fast and loose?” Did anyone not understand the meaning? Fast and loose with facts = lying. No real mystery there.

Felix, someone has already pointed out that your contention is in no way factual. John Ensign did not resign. David Vitter did not resign. Mark Sanford did not resign. Would you like more examples?

Tyler,
I refuse to take a bullet for Blumenthal since I despise him, as I indicated. But one guy runs as a pro family politician winning several terms under that banner in conservative leaning Indiana, focusing his tenure on abstinance only education, and producing an interview with a staffer referencing his condemnation of those that oppose his position, while at the same time is boning the (kind of cute and much younger) staffer on the side, while another guy, not an elected official but a candidate, who joined the U.S. Marine Reserves, probably to avoid combat duty, and then holds himself out as a Viet combat veteran to impress the patriotic crowd, I guess. I don’t know, if I were comparing these two despicable people I would probably say the former offense is worse than the latter.

If Souder had not been an advocate for family values , it would be all right for him to have affairs?

Wow!

Tyler! You can’t say ‘scum bag’ it will get you banned.

valkyrie101 says:
May 18, 2010 at 2:13 pm

Equivalent… no, probably not. However, I’d have a hard time picking out which one was worse. Was it the guy who lied to his family and constituents about a personal matter? Or was it the guy who lied to his constituents, and disrespected the military, those serving, and those who have served? Eh… both bad.

And that’s the point.

And I still stand by the notion that “it’s okay” or “not a big deal” when some people do something, but not for others, is dumb. It’s the action that’s the problem… and simply saying, “Well, he didn’t say he was going to be faithful, so it’s okay that he diddled his secretary,” is a non-defense and political spin.

valkyrie101 says:
May 18, 2010 at 3:03 pm

Actually, Blumenthal is the CT Attorney General… not just a “candidate.”

Tyler,
“All right to have affairs”, in what sense? If you say: I am a Christian, I disaprove of gays, I disaprove of recreational sex, I would like to pass laws outlawing or limiting gay or recreational sex, and I seek your vote because I am a good moral guy, a Christian who is married and lives by a higher set of values than my opponent, then when you are shown to have engaged in extramarital sex, a fact that you even denied in order to get re-elected, then you are not just a liar, but a hypocrite.

On the other hand, if a man runs as a liberal, and does not pander to those who are intolerant of those who engage in “Constitutionally protected” recreational sex, then he has made no promises or engaged in hypocrisy by having an extramarital affair. So yes, it would be all right for him to do that. IMHO.

I would like to see a total end to pandering with claims of somehow being more moral or pro-family values than others. I know this may be hard for some conservatives to believe, but liberals are not anti-family values. There are differences when it comes to social issues, but that doesn’t make people anti-families. Also, by running around claiming you’re more moral and more pro-family, you set yourself up for a pretty big fall if you have an affair and get caught.

valkyrie101 says:
May 18, 2010 at 3:30 pm

And that’s why liberals are lost. They have no values.

That’s a rather silly and inaccurate comment Tyler. I am liberal. I am happily married and have a young son I adore. I love being a family man. I was raised by wonderful parents who taught me the value of family. I would hold my values up against anyone’s, yours included. To state that millions of people have no values is as ridiculous as saying all conservatives hate poor people.

Tyler! You can’t say ‘liberals’!!!

Val:

“then he has made no promises or engaged in hypocrisy by having an extramarital affair. ”

He made a promise to his wife when he married her. Get a divorce if you want to be with someone else.

Blue,
So you would argue that Souder’s indiscretion is a personal matter? Well, of course, that is what everyone says about such things. That is what Tiger said.. But when you enter the public realm as a politician does, where your character is on trial as part of the election process, then there is no such thing as personal, in reality.

Tyler,
I am sorry, it does not bother me what my elected officials do privately, within the law. If a politician wants to engage in extra-marital sex, that is up to him. However, if he seeks my vote based on a promise of superior morality, then failure to live up to that standard is a bait and switch. Barney Frank gets his votes from people who do not care where he puts his dick. Unlike Souter, Ensign, and so many others who promise to be “family values wholesome” as a condition for getting votes.

Barney Frank gets his votes from people who do not care where he puts his dick”

As long as it’s not in them.

In a national context…is it still important to define non-procreational sex?

In other words, can’t anyone have some fun?

If someone hypocritcally supports something they deny doing and then gets caught…it should just take the measure of the person.

Sex will always happen… we rut. We shouldn’t rut sometimes, and we change things and rutting becomes pleasurable Or rutting beomes polarized. Sex is sex and it always has been reproductive. That’s how nature works. It is a constant transmission of bodiy fluids. I believe that is undeniable.

The rest is kinda up to personal hygiene, abstinence, condoms, monogamy and personal responsability.

I’m a guy…the onus is on me to keep my pants on. Our nature is such that we do like to _______!

I’m going to let that fly, but I might want to revisit that last line.

valkyrie101 says:
May 18, 2010 at 3:43 pm

Yes, and?

Put it this way… with Blumenthal insulted the service, and disrespected every single soldier who was injured or killed in Vietnam. He attempted to use their heroism, to define himself… despite not being anywhere close to it. VERSUS Souder… who got caught cheat on his wife. Did he insult the “family values” folks who he agreed with… not really, he pushed for laws they agreed with, even if he didn’t practice them himself. He may have broken their trust, but that’s a far cry from using the dead to prop up your own record.

Nachi says:

Yeah, and libs have NO values.

Blue,

Look, again, Blumenthal is a jerk and indeed he did betray the dignity of the soldiers who, unlike him, did not seek special deferments to avoid Viet Nam combat. Well, come to think of it, that practice of avoiding combat is precisely what Cheney and Bush did too, not to mention lot’s of others on both sides of the isle. Blumenthal tried to have it both ways, though, by avoiding combat and then seeking credit for it as a politician, to garner votes. He deserves condemnation, for sure.

As for Souder, he promised to live up to the standards that he sought to inflict on others, while committing the deed on the sly, at the same time, like Newt, who was actually fricking his political aide while arguing for Clinton to resign over the same thing. People can tolerate sexually promiscuous men as their politicians, but they do not tolerate hypocrisy.

What John Edwards did to his cancer stricken wife is 100x more deplorable than what any politician has ever done in regards to affairs. Period.

The dude is a(n)? hypocrite. <- do you have to put an "n" in front of an "h" anymore? I just did it!

Answer: Yes, you put "an" in front of a word that begins with the letter "h"… but only if the h is silent and the word therefore begins with a vowel sound. Example #1: "He is a hypocrite." (because the "h" in "hypocrite" is hard and pronounced.) Example #2: "He is an honorable man." (because the "h" in "honorable" is soft and silent.)

Hey trolling, compare Edwards with Newt. Here is the Gingrich wiki reference:

“Gingrich has been married three times, to three different women. He first married Jackie Battley, his former high school geometry teacher, when he was 19 years old, and she was 26 years old.[56][57] They had two daughters. The couple decided to divorce after Gingrich told his wife of his extra-marital affair while she was recovering from cancer surgery.[58] In 1981, six months after his divorce was final, Gingrich wed Marianne Ginther.[59] He remained married to Ginther until 2000, when they divorced.”

Valkyrie,

You haven’t forgotten the story about McCain divorcing his first wife:
