            A FEW QUESTIONS FOR THE LIBERALS, BUT NO ANSWERS

  (Mr. PITTS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PITTS. Mr. Speaker, this morning I have a few questions for the 
liberals on the other side. As usual, we will receive no answers, but 
it is our duty to the American people to ask them, just the same.
  Please tell us, my liberal defenders of the President's conduct, why 
was Senator Bob Packwood run out of town for his conduct? Why did 
liberal Democrat after liberal Democrat, including the current Vice 
President, denounce Senator John Tower as, and I quote, ``unfit for 
office'' because of allegations of womanizing?
  Will we receive answers to these questions? I doubt it. Why the 
double standard? Why one standard for Republicans and other for 
Democrats?
  Why was Justice Clarence Thomas absolutely vilified by feminist 
groups and liberals of every stripe for questionable allegations, while 
the current leader of the free world is given every possible excuse, 
justification, and defense for his conduct for a myriad of abuses, for 
numerous women providing evidence in a vast cover-up orchestration?
  Yes, questions for liberals, but no answers.
