Yeah, remember, a president's moral character... well, it really doesn't matter...

[madprof98]

To the half or so (one hopes less) who will vote for Kerry this election, moral character obviously matters not one tiny bit. It's sad to think the country has sunk that low, but it will be still sadder if Kerry is actually elected.

Are they trying to soften us up for the return of the Kerry
bimbo in Kenya?

But Harding was a handsome man, and when he was approached by the Democrats to run for president, ........

Wrongo. Do your homework, reporterette wannabe.

Notice that the presidents they point to are all Democrats.

Looks quite superficial. In good times, I suppose the country can tolerate any sort of President. When there's a crisis, though, you want someone you know can do the job and someone you can trust.

"The Whigs sent Taylor a letter to inform him that he'd been nominated to run for president," Cultice said. "Well, he didn't open it for three days.

"That letter went unopened, and you know why? It had 10 cents postage due and Taylor wasn't going to pay it."
===============================

( sigh) First of all a dime back in the mid-1800s while hardly a fortune had not sunk to the level of an emergency screwdriver as it has today. Using a ball-park type guesstiment, a dime back then would be worth, oh, say $3.00-$4.00 in today's money.

Second, back then it wasn't the sender who paid the postage on/for the letter. It was the one who got it. Taylor by this time had gotten a LOT of letters, and it was not Croesus - not by a long shot. It had gotten to the point that he simply could not afford to pay for any more letters. $3 + $3 + $3 x ???? = some serious money.

Taylor had no idea what was in this particular letter, or the other letters that came with it that he also refuse to pay postage one. Why would he assume this one letter was any different from all the others?

Of course, it's amazing to some people to flip this whole thing off with a titter and say, "That letter went unopened, and you know why? It had 10 cents postage due and Taylor wasn't going to pay it."

This is blatant propaganda for the immoral left.

Moral character should matter, but even if it doesn't, something like the 7 point plan should matter.
It should matter if one committed treason, it should matter if one ACTIVELY OBEYED the enemy's directions. Especially if that someone is trying to run for The Office.
