But Republicans have been lukewarm at best defending our principles in public.
What makes anyone here so sure they are principled when they have their hands out while no one is looking?
The republicans have been luke warm with any investigation because they are used to following in the deomcrat footsteps. They STILL have not fully realized they are the major party at this moment in time. Besides we have some republicans who are really 1/8 right of a democrat. I still have a problem with my Republican Party. We have too many who believe they are gentlemen. When one is hired to work for someone they are NOT gentlemen or ladies, they are workers, should they act like gentlemen or ladies, it only shows they have manners. Whereas democrats are street fighters and tend to hit below the belt.
