I am tired of us having the attitude that we must always preceed questioning any politician with the phrase, “With all due respect.”
Sounds apologetic that we dare to question the Great Senator or President or whomever...

“With all due respect.” In my mind, the point is that there is not much respect due.

I'd be all for it if they said "With all due respect (0)..."

“With all due respect.”
It’s certainly not apologetic. It is showing respect for their office, not them, necessarily.
As Republicans I think it is imperative that we keep this as is. There’s a reason this type of thing was added.
It is sorely needed polite discourse and good manners.
Sounds stuffy, I know. But, frankly, I wouldn’t want to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
I, for one, do respect the structure of our government and its various offices.
These things show reverence for our laws, our constitution, our freedom, etc. These should be held on high.
The people in those offices right now, by and large, can go to hades.
I was born far too late, so, for what it’s worth.

You would have to have respect for them first.
Do they even have “honor among thieves”?

Absolutely agree. They are not our betters, at least not in my experience.
We don’t or should not have an American aristocracy.

Actually the phrase is very useful....it serves to set a polite and conciliatory tone just before one goes in for the kill.
We use it in court all the time!
