Is Domenici somehow representative of all Republicans?
For those of you who think Senator Menendez is somehow representative of ALL Democrats:Was Michelle Laxalt, the woman he had the baby with 30 years ago, underage?

I don't think so; but leave it up to the Democrats to equivocate the rape of an underage teen with consensual relations between 2 adults....Democrats are sick motherfucking scum; after all they have sexual predator Bill Clinton (another liar) and (forbidden topic) sex predator Harry Reid as their leaders.

But typical liberal who tries to equivocate bad behavior. Originally Posted by Whirlaway

Wow, holy shit. You have your own definition of rape? Bullshit.
The terms you are using - "rape", "consensual", "underage" are LEGAL terms, not court of public opinion terms. You don't get to use them like you are discussing a crime and then say "this isn't a court of law" when you are shown to be wrong. You don't get to have your own special set of definitions.
In most people's minds an elderly man having sex with an teenage girl is beyond "sleazy."She is too young to be giving her consent freely, especially if the events occurred as described, where she is taken to someone's house, by a "manager" presumably and paid for sex.....That isn't consensual sex......she was too young to freely give consent....it is rape....
You're trying to have it both ways. You're trying to make it sound like forcible rape when it was consensual sex with an underage girl.
There are different grades of statutory rape. Sex with 15-17 year olds is generally considered consensual because the teenager is old enough to know what they are doing. Nonetheless, if is illegal because it is against public policy.
In order for the minor to be too young to consent, they have to be REALLY young, like 12 years old. Then it falls in the category of forcible rape - in the same way you could be accused of committing rape if a woman is passed out drunk.
This girl was clearly old enough to consent..
Again, what was the age of Dominici's fling? Over 18, I assume, but who cares? It was still sleazy. Originally Posted by Whirlaway

My question isn't limited to underage sex. Cheating on your wife and knocking up our colleagues daughter isn't exactly walking the straight and narrow.
There was a lot of "Democrats are scum" attitude in the Menendez thread - that was based on party affiliation, not on the age of the girl.
So what if I had used Bill Clinton as an example instead?
If Bill Clinton represented all Dems, does Domenici represent all Republicans? Originally Posted by ExNYer

IMO this is a bogus arguement to compare Bad behavior to criminal activity...and then to make the leap to Clintons vs Domenici behavor. Which would be a more fair comparison.
You compare the commonalities of the first comparison (both bad) and then then give it the same weight in the second comparion (Clintons vs Domenici)
Espescially with one of them happening over 30 years ago to someone who is retired.
