hoya, you actually sound nothing more than a Democrat wishing Republicans would kill themselves so that Democrats can walk in by default.

Yes Reps are more critical of Reps than Dems, but traditionally even Reps are pragmatic.

I wager this neither Foley nor the other guy get reelected, if they run. However, if one is a Dem, one can kill a secretary by abandoning her while drunk, and do all other sorts of horrible things. Dems do not retaliate or become disenchanted against Dems.

In a caricature, Reps are sometimes, oft times hypocrits, and they get excoriated for holding Dems up to "higher" standards that even Reps don't hold.

Dems never hold themselves up to any standards, ever. Lieberman tried to, and look where that got him.
