I’ve been listening to Jason Lewis for a dozen years. While he is no Ted Nugent he is a no holds barred tell it like it is in your face guy.

This guy was posting a reply over at Don Surber as to why and how Republicans and Democrats differ on the handling of "scandals". Pretty well sums it up for me. Hat tip to Don and Mark.

Don, you ask am I alone in noticing how quickly Republicans move to oust any Republican who uses public office for sexual favors? Here’s your answer.

It seems fairly straightforward to me. Republicans think of themselves largely as conservatives, and as such, they have little tolerance for inconsistency and — especially — hypocrisy. Democrats generally follow the polls, not higher moral standards, whereas Republicans try to stick to principles they arrive at after a lot of deep thought and reasoning.

Let’s say we have a politician who preaches temperance in general and is then caught guzzling whiskey. If the politician is a Democrat, hypocrisy will not matter, as long as he follows the polls in response. If the politician is a Republican, his conservative supporters will lose confidence and revoke their support. It’s as simple as that.
