“Democrats can get away with that crap because they are sleazy and no one expects anything else from them. Conservatives are expected to maintain a higher standard.”

I’m for holding all politicians to the same “higher standard.”

Why should Democrats get a pass because they are “Democrats?”

Democrats will never hold their leaders to any kind of moral standards because the entire lib-dem ethos is “if it feels good, do it!!” and because ideological purity trumps personal behavior in all cases. Since we never vote for them anyhow, they could care less if we think they are sleazebags.

Our leaders are required to reflect our values.

Sounds great, but what YOU think of Democrat politicians is irrelevant to them. You’re not going to vote for them no matter how they conduct their private lives, and they know it.
