The Democrats and sordid family values

President Clinton denied ever having had sex with "that woman." U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney admits having an affair, in fact several.

The only thing that Clinton and Mahoney have in common beside low morals is that neither quit their position. (Mahoney lost his in last week's elections.)

When Mark Foley was caught sending lurid Internet messages to male pages, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid pushed for and got his resignation.

When Clinton embarrassed the nation with all of his sexual indiscretions, the Democrats stood behind him. In fact, they allowed him to make a mockery of the word "sex" and the word "is."

When Mahoney was running to replace Foley, he ran on a family value platform. Now, he maintains that he hasn't been hypocritical. After all, he has apologized to his wife and daughter.

Where are Pelosi and Reed? Why do they support such immoral individuals? Nice message they are sending our young people.
