Oone of the tough things about politics, in this country, is that we Republicans are a bit unforgiving of our own, when they screw up.
Dems can do whatever they want, and still have the full support of the Party and the rank and file, it seems.
I am not saying that we should lower our standards, I am only saying that it makes it much harder to win, in politics, since -—
We all fall short of the Grace of God, don't we?
And, human failings happen on both sides of the aisle, but only seem to hurt Republican politicians.
How do you know the position he was using???
We're not unforgiving - we want to burn them at the stake.
Ya mean we have morals. The democrats don’t know what they are as they have no standards to even raise a bar on.
“...we Republicans are a bit unforgiving of our own, when they screw up.”
Bull. It depends on the “screw up”. Furthermore, unlike the liberals, conservatives base their judgments on grounded principles, not weather vane “character”.
If an individual can violate sacred vows of matrimony, they can violate their vows of office. These individuals render decisions that don’t just affect their family, but the taxpayer. They should be held to a high standard.
Liberals have no character. They are political whores.
Furthermore, you can forgive, yet demand discipline and/or reprimand.
Are you suggesting that if a congressman commits a sexual act against a 5 year old child, his egregious crime should be dismissed?
I don’t want a president whose so weak in character that he can’t turn from temptation which violates a sacred vow. We all know what that looks like.
“Dems can do whatever they want, and still have the full support of the Party and the rank and file, it seems.”
Dems can screw whatever (whoever) they want, and still have the full support of the Party and the rank and file...
Even the Barney Franks’ are allowed to screw around with little boys...
Ted drowned his girl friend Mary Jo at Chappaquidic ‘cause she was pregnant.
Etc etc etc...
