Are you suggesting we, as conservatives, should strive to lessen our standards of those whom serve in office as the liberals do? You’re setting your sights pretty low, buddy. Those “standards”, for lack of a better word, have consequences.
How do you like this new administration? Are you enjoying that; the economy in the tank, America’s kids being burdened with dept that will affect all of us for decades to come, the Muslim connection, the propaganda, the undermining of our military, the usurping of power, etc.? Well, pal, it’s all because of the morally corrupt liberals you so admirably respect.
Conservatives high standards gave us individuals like Ronald Reagan. The liberals can boast of jokes like Jimmy Carter, Clinton, and now O.
I disagree with your accusation that Republicans expect near perfection. You could hardly suggest George Bush was near perfection. In his past, he loved to drink and rabble rouse.
Conservatives hold their leaders to a high standard, as we should. Their decisions affect each and every American. I don’t want a adulterer, liar, thief, sexual pervert, narcissistic, classless statesman.
If you had children, and you needed a babysitter. Would you not require a person of upstanding character and integrity? All the more for leaders whom decide on policy which affects all of our babies.
I did not say that all mistakes should be excused, I said in so many words:
Republicans should stop eating their own!
Republicans should stop forming circular firing squads!
It is ENTIRELY possible to have personal failings, and STILL be a courageous warrior in the fight against liberalism.
