Based upon harassment allegations. We just don't know how much glass our house is made of. All the money paid in Congressional harassment cases likely involved both sides of the aisle.
We have to win on our message, not just their misdeeds.

(2,176 posts)They fully knew what the candidate said about grabbing women, they had his own ex wife saying he raped her violently and he had numerous accusers and the republicans, from the most prominent to the ones down the street who still have his signs up, bought into him. They are deplorable and they are ruining the freedom we have all taken for granted. Men who do this are trash, and no matter which party they come from, they deserve what they get.

I'm not going to keep quiet about Roy Moore's obsession with pubescent girls or shitgibbons "Roman hands and Russian fingers" or his magnetic fishlips.
This is not about how many did this or that in the past in cases that were settled. rethug voters put a testosterone-overdosed toddler into office and they're trying to get another sicko in the Senate. What they did went way beyond the bounds of what was allowable in the 1970s and there's no comparison.
Don't forget that they elected a nutjob who liked to wear diapers while visiting prostitutes (Vitter). Sanford may have lost his family and governorship for abandoning his office and family to run off to another continent to visit his girlfriend, but they gave him a Senate seat. THEY are the ones who stood in judgment of WJC while doing the same or worse themselves. Gingrich was sleeping with his soon-to-be-third wife while he was still married to his second wife (who he fucked while his first wife was sick with cancer). Henry Hyde broke up the marriage of his "youthful indiscretion." Dennis Hastert went to jail for molesting boys.
Of course the smear machine is trying to throw shit on Democrats! The key is to not let them do it. Remind them of the members of their own party have done in the past and what they are doing now. Don't let them wiggle off that hook.
