Not so, my faith is in God and The Lord Jesus Christ. But, don’t we have the right to expect decency and morality out of our governmental leaders, whose salaries we pay?
Maybe God is trying to wake us up to that truth, we do trust in these guys even though we don't think we do. I have.
“Not so, my faith is in God and The Lord Jesus Christ. But, don’t we have the right to expect decency and morality out of our governmental leaders, whose salaries we pay?”
Not just YES ... but ABSOLUTELY YES!
No, I don't think so.
You have such a right in the sense that you can use whatever criteria seem right to you in deciding who gets your vote.
But to "expect" it, in the sense that that's normative and you'll be disappointed if you don't get it? Nope.
It’s all too easy for us to say what we would have done, we’re not in that arena. It’s not our reputation that’s being torn to shreds, nor our families hurt.
There was no way, once these allegations started, for Cain to win, either personally or politically. It became like shadowboxing. The bottom-feeders would have continued to bring forth women until he dropped out. Their stories didn’t need to be credible. There’s no purpose to doing that any more. The women and their stories have done their job. It’s they who generated the headlines, not Cain. And they were headlines only because he was running for president. Now that he’s out of the race, you won’t hear from any of them ever again.
BTW, in the case of Herman Cain, he’s never served in public office nor have ‘we’ ever paid his salary. He was a successful businessman who chose to become engaged in politics on the national stage. The position of public trust he sought (which, together with its extraordinary ‘benes’) taxpayers DO pay.
