One thing I think we can agree on is that there is a double standard on how the press reports on Democrats and Republicans (particularly conservative Republicans).
They downplayed Obama & Wright (ignored might be a better word). I have no doubt they would do just the opposite when it comes to Bachmann & Oral Roberts. Not only would they focus on it, they would beat it like a drum.
Fair? No, but that’s the world we live in.
The other thing I think we can agree on is that consrvatives hold themselves to a higher standard than liberals do.
Liberals glady ignored any questions about Wright, because that’s just what they do—brush everything under the carpet and say “move along, nothing to see here.”
I don’t see conservatives doing that. They’ll examine the Oral Roberts connection to see if there is anything here.
Again, fair? No, but that’s just the way it is.
I don’t think this makes Bachmann untouchable (any more than Romney being a Morman makes him untouchable), but it’s part of the overall picture of Bachmann that people will build.
I agree with quite a bit of that. Let me ask you this.
Think about this for a moment, then read on. Why would you refrain from voting for Romney? Would it be Mormon related, or policy related?
For me, it would definitely be policy related. I don’t agree with Mormon beliefs, but I don’t consider them to be bad people per se. I think my valuables, wife, and kids would be safe in their company.
I don’t agree with Romney’s stances, and that’s all. I do agree with Bachmann’s, and that’s all.
Is your stance on Romney different than mine?
