Of all the lies of Obama and Clinton.. why do you not give the same high standards to your candidates?
I like this question.
I think it applies equally to both sides. I too often wonder why someone like you (or the majority of republican voters) devotes so much time to the lies of democrats and so little time to the lies of your own side. Reagan should be castigated for Iran-Contra, and Bush 43 should have to answer for his lies/mistakes in Iraq - but your side, like my side, spends a little too much time defending and evading the apparent failures of "the home team".
By the same token I wonder why fans of sports teams always point to the mistakes their beloved team suffers at the hands of the refs but never complain about mistakes those same refs make that hurt the opposing team.
My conclusion is that we humans don't have high standards. We just want our team to win (but we are unable to face this truth in all its psychological crudeness). The most evolved among us can admit that we have a weakness for the "home team". The least evolved among us suffer from the delusion that it's only "the other guy" who lies and lacks standards. These are the stupid ones. They are dangerous and they are to be pitied. They are, to borrow a very tired cliche, holier than thou.
