You lefties really don't have a clue, do you?...
<<do you really think it will work against Bush as well as it worked for Clinton?>>
It's all they've got. There is a % of corruption in any group of human beings. The Republicans are within nominal parameters, to abuse NASAspeak a bit, and are still constrained by principle. Yes, a majority of people in our society still have been raised right, and attempt to avoid sin to the best of their mortal abilities. What has changed is the public perception since the Clinton era. In a worst case, the Republicans could be ass-deep in corruption and laughing about it today, with NO political penalty. Why? Because the Clintons successfully made lying and lawbreaking POPULAR for a while, and the Democrats are suffering the consequences that occur after that all-night-ethics-drunk wears off. The public will never expect perfection from any group of humans. It just isn't reasonable. But for the next few years, the Democrats are tagged as the "party of the Big Lie", and they must gradually overcome that to become politically viable again some day. They are going about it very slowly, if at all.
P.J. O'Rouke put it most succinctly during Impeachment, "The Republicans can still be hypocrites, because they still know right from wrong."...>> |
