That’s true.
That’s why Republicans are open to charges of hypocrisy and Democrats aren’t.
Democrats have no standards, so they can’t be accused of failing to live up to them.
And I’m not upset with that, as I like being in the party of standards.
On the other hand, I would have had no trouble voting for Ryan, and wish he had stuck it out — he didn’t really do anything (his wife said no), and as scandals go it was nothing serious. I wondered if there was something more that never came out that led to him dropping out — or maybe he just decided he couldn’t beat Obama.
