I agree with you long - I find no happiness in watching a family suffer, regardless if I support them or not.
The people I was referring to regarding being ashamed, are those who continue to attempt to beat people over the head with the ‘We are real Christians and you aren’t’. It’s insulting and whether it’s here on this board, or in person, it never ever sits well with people.
From what I’ve read and heard, I do believe there is more to come. Time will tell but no, I won’t be doing a happy dance about Ted. I will be thankful that some of the less gracious posters slink away.
I look forward to more civility, and would be thankful to see the personal insults and name calling leave freerepublic, regardless of which candidate people support. Time will tell what will unfold with the sex scandal story.
