So, let me get this straight. Lets suppose that Republicans HAVE pinned this banner on themselves. Does this absolve Democrats of the same personal responsibility? Does this mean that Democrats don't advocate for personal responsibility amongst themselves? Are you concluding that just because Democrats don't say it out loud they are not held to any measure of personal responsibility standard?

I look forward to you dancing around this one.

So, you feel that a nine month affair and a $121,000 payoff are merely 'slips' and Ensign just made a couple of 'mistakes'? Interesting....

This is what I'm understanding from the OP:

Republicans: Preach morals -> Break morals = BAD

Democrats: No morals to break = GOOD

Wow, I didn't notice this attitude when talking about "leftists" and "liberals" - especially Obama.

Ha, ha.
