thats the difference between republicans and democraps- when one of our own get caught we all agree he should be punished- democraps would be out there defending him and saying "everyone does it"
Though I've seen a few who have intimated some sort of excuse or justification (slightly), I agree, overall, the consensus on this thread overwhelmingly supports your observations.
I would say, however, it's not so much that "Republicans" are this or that way (we do observe how RINO's operate), rather, overall, the people who are drawn to the Republican party are conservatives, whose world view and ideals more often than not operate on objective standards, principle and character....a mindset and traits found sorely lacking by those who are drawn to the democRat party.
