Why Democratic Women Stick By Their Creeps
National Review ^ | July 25, 2013 | Jim Geraghty

If you’re socially conservative, your values are likely shaped by a Judeo-Christian teaching that every person is created by God and thus deserving of respect, etc. So besides the usual Biblical/Torah-based teachings – don’t commit adultery, etc. – sexually harassing your underlings, using an employee as a sexual plaything or using your wife as a human shield during an embarrassing press conference is to objectify them and pretty obviously not in line with God’s teachings.

If you’re libertarian, one of your core tenets is the value of the individual and the need to protect the rights of the individual – and sexual harassment undoubtedly represents an infringement upon the rights of an individual. You may have less of an issue with adultery between consenting adults or even with prostitution (freely-agreed contracts!) but ultimately whatever happens must be agreed upon by both/all parties. Cheating on one’s wife and humiliating her in a public scandal isn’t usually part of an agreed contract.

However, modern liberalism usually defines the world in terms of groups and group rights. The rights of the individual are much less important (see how often the Left criticizes our society as too individualistic or “go it alone”) and their vision of a wise redistribution of money, power, authority, rights, etc. often requires the correct person or group to be in charge. Having the Left’s preferred people in charge is, in fact, the preeminent value on the Left, and any other “rule” can be broken in its name – i.e., it’s okay to serve on corporate boards and make lots of money, as long as you donate to the party, etc.

You really don’t need to go any deeper than to note the unnatural instinct Democrat women seem to have in their desire for abortion. As is their behavior in this contrary to all nature, so is their acceptance of their mens’ foibles.

This is why "cowboy" which at one time was a compliment and today has become a word of derision.

Who can understand women.

Some say men think with their Penis, I don’t believe some women think at all.

This man is a dork. What woman would want him?

Several it appears.

It’s a relationship of convenience... doesn’t have anything to do with love or respect.

But not a convenience relationship of people with values. It is the underlying unnatural personalities that allow this.

Because the very act of being a democrat precludes having any morals or a sense of self worth.

Most prominent Democrats are ungodly people. Christians cannot support those who murder babies and promote every kind of evil, as the Democrat Party does.

False. Libertarians are very much against breaking contracts. Marriage, besides everything else, is a binding contract for each spouse to be faithful to the other. Adultery breaks that contract.

Huma Abedin is not “sticking by her man”.

She is fulfilling her assignment.

To a socialist, the advancement of socialism is senior to all other values. Anything is permissible if it advances socialism. Nothing is permissible if it blocks socialism.

That's all you need to know about socialists, and the senior Dems are socialists above all else.

On the other hand they can match with Newt Gingrich, David Vitter, Mark Foley, Larry Craig, Mark Sanford, and Bob Packwood.

When it comes to politics and creeps, it seems to be one of the few bipartisan issues in Washington.
