A double standard.

I suspect there are degrees of immorality. Some immorality seems worse than other immorality. For instance, killing someone may be more immoral than lying. When Bill Clinton cheated on his wife, it was deemed immoral. Enough so for the Republicans to try to get him impeached. I think that was being a bit too judgmental. Especially when one of the bringers of the charge was none other than Newt Gingrich. Yes, the same Newt that was committing adultery of his own at the same time. Talk about being two-faced and hypocritical. In a sense, Newt was being more immoral than Clinton. Meanwhile, Clinton was advocating political policies that were very moral. He balanced the budget. And he advocated measures that benefited the common good. Meanwhile, Gingrich was for policies that benefited special interests and rich people. And he literally took money from the poor and gave it to the rich. Also consider this. The other day, congresswoman Michele Bachmann advocated disbanding the Environmental Protection Agency. Because it was detrimental to the profits of big business. In other words, she’s willing to sacrifice the environment for the sake of business profit. Now, to me, that seems far more immoral than the Anthony Weiner sex scandal. But it’s Weiner being asked to resign. Not Bachmann. Seems to me that at least half of Congress has been far more immoral than Weiner. They take grossly immoral political stances that screw the public on a daily basis. Yet that’s tolerated. While lesser crimes are severely punished. A double standard. Amazing, isn’t it? –Jim Broede
