There is a BIG difference between virgins and tramps who raise alleged felons. We can't find someone in between those two extremes, or will you just vote for literally anyone with an "R" next to their name?
I have voted in my lifetime for two Democrats. "Zig-zag" Zell Miller and Sam Nunn so no, the "R" isn't the end all and be all. I vote for the individual who will vote in Congress the way I wish. That's all it takes. I don't get wrapped around the axle about petty foolishness.
I still resent Newt Gingrich after we had just reelected him by a landslide, turning tail like a dog because he was accused of a scandal. His responsibility to us should have outweighed any personal issue.
