What's funny is how Republican partisans always seem to whine about being "held to a higher standard" every time a Republican gets nabbed for some wrongdoing.
There are crooks in both parties.
Now and again, one of those crooks gets caught.
the getting caught part doesn't happen often enough, but it does happen. When it does, if the culprit is a Republican, we always hear that keening whine about how it's not fair for the poor, poor Republicans, and the silly refrain that Democrats get away with the same thing.
I can't think of any such weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth from the Democrats, but it makes sense that they would do the same thing.
Can anyone think of examples of moaning and wailing from Democrats about being "held to a higher standard?"
This has absolutely nothing to do with partisan politics and everything to do with reality and observation...
It's downright wrong that democrats get a free pass when a democrat gets caught (buried at the bottom of page 40 in the paper mentioned as a mere blurb not even mentioning party affiliation) while every time a republican gets busted for something stupid it's front page (some times even the headline) not to mention the party affiliation his in the headline itself.
This is why democrats are ignorant to their parties own dirty laundry, and why democrats believe their party is morally and ethically more superior.
As a libertarian I think both parties screw up, however democrats screw up way more but the MSM helps them out by keeping the public ignorant to that fact and it chaps my ass.
