I don't enjoy reveling in the misfortunes of others but there is something to be said about so called "family values" Republicans who get caught in a storm scandal. The GOP likens to the "party on the hill" looking down on the sinners below (the Democrats). Why can't they just accept that no one is perfect? The higher you are, the harder you fall.
The latest to be caught was a Republican State Legislator from California who was caught by an open mic. He was bragging to a colleague about a sexual affair he had with his mistress.

Rant Time: "Big Government"/ Socialism
I don't like getting on a soapbox very often but I think this is a very troubling issue. For all the Republicans out there saying how they hate "big government" here's what I want you to do: pay back every cent the US Government has given you. That includes the following:
- Pell Grant for college students
- Unemployment benefits
- Medicare (that's right, go harass grandma)
- Start up loans for businesses
- Social Security
- Public school funds (that'd be thousands of dollars per child)
- Cash for Clunkers
- The money you make from minimum wage minus what the companies really want to pay you (here's a hint: it's close to zip)
The list goes on and on. Let's face facts here; for some things we need the government to step in and correct a situation that's becoming a problem. Health Care has reached that status and we NEED a public option to reign in on the people whose bottom line is profit. Who says Capitalism has to be so infused in our lives that it controls that very thing?
