Double-edged Sword

A couple weeks ago Democrats all over the country were calling for Republicans to give back any money received from groups that Mark Foley had any sort of connection to. Mike Arcuri called on Ray Meier to return the money, even though there is no direct connection between Meier and Foley. Even the connections that could loosely be made were only to people who MIGHT have known that something was going on. It is quite a stretch.

So, now that John Kerry has made comments that essentially say that stupid people and dropouts
get sent to Iraq, is Mike Arcuri going to give all of the money back that came from anyone remotely related to John Kerry? C'mon Mike, how about it?

Make no mistake, what John Kerry did is nowhere near as bad as what Mark Foley did. My point is not about what the person did, though. It's about the unfairness of grouping Ray Meier with someone like Mark Foley just based on the fact that they are both in the same political party. If you follow the logic that Meier should return his money just because of a loose relation to someone who did or said something bad, then you have to follow the logic that Mike Arcuri should give any money back from action groups that John Kerry is involved with. After all, ---sarcasm--- Mike Arcuri must also think the troops fighting overseas are just a bunch of our reject citizens who couldn't make it through school ---end sarcasm---.

So, is Mike going to give the money back?
