Dirt is a resume enhancement on the rats. Hell Barny Frank was running a MALE PROSTITUTION ring out of his house and that didn’t hurt him with his constituency. Ted Kennedy killed a woman and had zero impact on his ability to be elected. Bill Clinton got oral sex in the oval office from an intern and his ratings went up.
We need to find “good” things about the rats to turn off their base. And finding good things is a lot harder to do when dealing with politicians—especially on the rat side of the aisle.
Democrats can break every commandment and nobody blinks.
If a Republican picks his nose in public, they build a gallows.
