Stupid Republicans. The dems would never do this.
If it was just a matter of lying about his background I would not vote to expel him, but the criminal charges -- including a guilty plea in one South American case -- were really too much.
Traci ant and Myers’s.
Just because the democrats are immoral and tolerate fraud and lying that is criminal doesn’t mean we have to. A military academy academic pledge states “I will not lie, cheat nor steal, nor tolerate any among us who does”
Our founding fathers pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor for that which was moral.
It is better to be on the side of morality than on the side of convenience. Even if we do lose the majority. The real question of character is were the house 217-216 majority, would these men and women still expel an abject liar? We would find quickly who indeed shares our values or who does not.
This is a stunning example of utilitarianism vs deontology. A utilitarian will always screw you.
Alcee Hastings - Those are the two words the Republicans should utter every time a dem mentions ethics. And, they could always throw in Al Sharpton and Tawana Brawley if they get tired of saying Alcee Hastings. Too many Republicans are too anxious to display moral outrage and virtue signal. The dems care about nothing but winning. The present Republican leadership are either too weak and stupid to stand against the evil the dems represent, or they are actually supporting it.
