Politicians are, by definition, people with profound character flaws.

No, some politicians have "profound" character flaws, others have run-of-the-mill character flaws. I'd prefer we elect those with the latter.

Holding our flawed politicians to a higher standard than we hold the enemy’s flawed politicians guarantees they win.

I think it's easily possible to hold politicians with major character flaws in both political parties with equal contempt, yes? Now, if you meant that we hold our officials to a higher standard than the Dems hold theirs, I agree, and we should.

So, how did your contempt save us from Ubama, or Barney Frank, or The Swimmer?

The problem is that too many have no standards and are willing to just elect anyone with the title: “Republican”.

I don’t see a reason to BE in a different party than the democrats if we are going to elect people who are exactly the same as democrats!

Why not just elect John Edwards, he looks better than Cain.
