Give the guy a break. He's an American hero. He's stepping down and that's the end of it.

Nope. He was an American hero.

He decided to stop being one when he decided to dip his nose into the same trough Hillary feeds from.

Please explain how his house deal is any different from Hillary's cattle futures deal.

Can we not celebrate the heroic things from a man's life if he has fallen short in other areas or at other times?

Do you wish to throw the Founding Fathers under the bus because they owned slaves?

Celebrate the good, acknowledge the bad.

i agree.

duke knew the rules. he's a big boy. he chose to conduct his life as he did.

i'm not defending republicans who do wrong because they're "our guys". wrong is wrong.

i lived in duke's district and voted for him several times until my zipcode was moved into darryl issa's district. i visited duke's escondido office several times. i was treated well. i enjoyed looking at his vietnam memorabilia.

Yeah but did Hillary resign from public life? Did it affect Clinton's 1992 campaign?
