What I wrote does suggest it happened more than once, something I can't prove. It doesn't, at least to me, suggest "all those cases."

Now that I've answered your questions twice, how about answering my question about why his case was dropped?

Does it matter that Congresscritters can't violate a civil rights law simply because they're above it? I was kidding above. It does to me.

I must have missed the word “sometimes”. My bad. 

As to your question, I loathe Congress and the way the get to screw us. Do I need to opine as the reason it was dismissed?  I am not sure I have enough info. Nor do I feel like following you down one of your rabbit holes. 

Have fun.

Nobody is "excusing" anyone. If they want to vote for a child molester, that's an indication of the state of their morals.

Voting for candidates that lie to congress os OK? Voting for candidates that pal arround with terrorists, murders, bigots and racists is good? Shoe is now on the other foot.

You have a bigot and a racist as a president, for fucksake. No amount of false equivalency is going to make a lot of ugly facts go away.

Nope, deflection..... voting for people who lie to congress is ok? Yes or No.  Voting for a guy that pals arround with bigots, racists, murders and terrorists is ok? Yes or No

Kinda sucks when the opponent starts playing by your own rules, eh....

Do I need to opine as the reason it was dismissed?  

No. I just thought you were interested in that subject when you asked me:

Does the fact that he was dropped from the suit prior to the settlement matter?

So I talked about why it matters to me and asked whether it matters to you. Not sure why that's so bad?

A lot of Trump supporters, like you, could learn a lot from listening to foreigners that don't elect pussy-grabbers or nominate child molesters to be in the Senate.

Excusing?

I'd say we were calling it inexcusable.

No. A Canadian and informed Australian explaining their reaction to how some Americans vote, with no excuses for anyone to be found. Unlike the disingenuous American I quoted, we don't have a reflexive need to defend one party in order to express & defend a moral judgement against the other.

Being external to your system allows us a modicum of objectivity you can't seem to manage. Sorry it makes you squirm so.

And if they chose to vote for a candidate that hung around with terrorists would that be an indication of the state of their morals?  

Lets do the Ted Kennedy scenario. MA voters returned Teddy to the senate time after time after he left a young girl to die, had numerous alcoholic episodes, repeated affairs while married, he was at a bar with his nephew picking up young woman, a nephew who later was charged with rape.  

Voting for him sure as hell would test the state of my morals.

None of which excuses the GOP for supporting Moore.

You seem to think that we furriners are the same kind of extreme partisan zealots as you.

You would be wrong.

Ding. Now if only you had the integrity to leave it at that, you'd be making progress. Your constant and unrelenting "whataboutism", however, diminishes that.

None of those are OK. Are you saying that it's OK to support racists and idiots because previous actors wandered outside the lines? You have a government that's selling you down the river to promote Russian interests and their own wealth.

You have zero objectivity.  You are the worst type of critic.  You base your views solely on the sources you choose to view.  You have zero knowledge from a personal involved perspective.   You have no local knowledge, no understanding of American culture only disdain.  Which is exposed on this site daily.

Thanks for your opinion. I'll give it just as much credit as you give mine and allow others to judge our respective objectivities for themselves. 

You done with the messenger attacks you complain about so often or would you like to really nail down your hypocrite status?

So if we lived in Alabama for a while we'd learn to be O/K with supporting a child molester for the Senate?

 

[Spatial Ed]

I dont live in AL. It is their choice. It will be rather telling how dispicable the Democrat Party really is if AL chooses Moore over a D :lol:

No, it says AL republicans support perverts.  Not sure they are much different than other republicans.

I don’t know.  I am not excusing those that may vote for Moore.  Any more than I feel the need to attack people that voted for others, with issues that most people find repulsive.

I live here, you don’t.  Your obsession with American politics is tainted by your lack of the American Experience.  I give Canadians a pass as our culture is linked in so many ways.  That doesn’t mean you cannot comment only that your views always need to be taken with a grain of salt.
