Good comments and questions all.
I agree with you.
If there was some truth to the Cain story, I am willing to see him drop out. If there wasn’t, I say hang in there.
After railing on Clinton for morals issues for eight years, I don’t want to be a hypocrite about morals issues.
I’m not asking for someone who is perfect, but I am expecting some level of honesty and decency.
Well, I will say this about that:
I didn't like the fact that Clinton was a hound dog. The Monica thing disturbed me. But, at the time, Republicans -- and this was smart -- tried not to emphasize the purely immoral aspects of the story. Clinton has real legal problems: Perjury, obstruction of justice, and in the case of several women, pure rape. We attacked Clinton on the basis of crimes committed, not moral failings.
Certainly, I would like a perfect candidate. Haven't found one yet.
Given the state of our culture, I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT CARE if a candidate cheats on his wife. That is insignificant. Don't bore me with any details. Tell me about your immigration policy, your tax policy, your abortion policy.
We just can't let the media pick at moral failings of Republicans. Those details, in this day and age, cannot matter -- Lord knows moral failings don't matter at all when it comes to Democrats. They only matter when a Republican is involved. And because none of us are perfect, the media will ALWAYS find some kind of moral failing to harp on. We need to start yawning and asking, "Yeah ... so? His politics are good, right?"
