In the meantime, we have Ted Kennedy leaving a girl to drown in a car he was driving, Clinton molesting women in the WH and raping one, and Rangel and Geitner filing false tax returns. So what is the Dem response. They support their own thru thick and thin.

That is what makes the Democrats so contemptible. I'd like to think that the conservatives hold themselves to higher standards.

I am so tired of this higher standard BS. This has nothing to do with standards, but rather, a political calculation. Does someone with Akin's record and background deserve to be castigated and banished for making a verbal gaffe?

There is a reason the GOP is called the Stupid Party. This election will be one of the nastiest and divisive this country will ever have. Obama and his thugs will pull no punches and spare nothing to win. They are bare knuckle street fighters intent on destroying the opposition.

If the GOP conducts the 2012 campaign like it did in 2008, it will lose again and continue to lose. No personal attacks on Obama. No questions about his associations with terrorists and communists. No attacks on his personal narrative. I guess the GOP can sit back on its smug high standards and feel superior in defeat. The only problem is that if we lose this election, it is game, set, and match for the country.
