Does character matter?

Conservative columnist George Will believes that Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain’s sexual harassment scandal is a “test” for Republicans. “A rule is when there are four women, there may be 24,” Will told ABC’s Christiane Amanpour Sunday. “There’s a pattern here. He’s says there’s no pattern because all four are not telling the truth. Well, we shall see.” “For Republicans, it is a teachable moment because Republicans have said over and over again, character matters in leadership. We have this powerful government. The more power the government has, the more character matters in the chief executive. And this is a test for them.” Nah, character is just another ruse put up by the GOP to stake out the moral high ground. It only comes into play when battling the opposition, rarely when measuring their own. What matters for the Cain campaign is the simplicity of the message and can if fit on a bumper sticker. His fundraising has taken a leap since women started to come forward confirming his pattern of abuse. A certain percentage of Republicans (including women?) are obviously comfortable with misogynists. How many democrat women voted for Clinton? (either one, the perp or the one that didn't divorce the perp). Hey, both Clintons had their leaks. For Bill is was sperm, for Hilary it was Wiki. -- The reason government can't fix the economic problems is government is the problem. |
