I agree with her, I think. I’m not listening to the show. YOu can’t have scumbags in power. You have to have decent people. You can’t expect to have saints though. You need people with certain skills and that sometimes means you need to make compromises.
Maybe the virtue we need in politicians is that of being humble, as in not proud or arrogant. Politicians should know first & foremost that they 1) don’t have all the answers & 2) can never make the world perfect.
If more politicians understood those two things we wouldn’t have half the problems we have today!
I'm gonna come down hard on you because you commented without listening to the show and therefore you have totally missed MY point. Yes, we should have virtuous folks in power as opposed to not virtuous - NO DUH!. But who decides what is virtue? Obama thinks he is virtuous and so do his supporters. Same for Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Nancy Pelosi. So what is this with "virtue." The safeguard, the ultimate safeguard, is LIMITED government.
