Dismissing the idea that the president is "just the like the rest of us," Pence wrote, "If you and I fall into bad moral habits, we can harm our families, our employers and our friends. The President of the United States can incinerate the planet. Seriously, the very idea that we ought to have at or less than the same moral demands placed on the Chief Executive that we place on our next door neighbor is ludicrous and dangerous.

"Throughout our history, we have seen the presidency as the repository of all of our highest hopes and ideals and values. To demand less is to do an injustice to the blood that bought our freedoms."

Yes.
I expect them to be the cream of the crop as they say.
They are human and imperfect.

And Trump had how many competitors? I only liked a few and none as much as Trump.

I was astounded that Hillary couldnt handle any competition.
And that she through Wasserman Shultz went about eliminating her only competition...Bernie..and boy was Brazille blindsided by it all.

This country dodged a huge huge bullet by Hillary losing. And if Trump ever had to pull the trigger. It would never be in haste nor do I fear him doing it.

Yes.

and the current VP was clear that if they are not morally upstanding in their demeanor and personal life does 'an injustice to the blood that bought our freedoms'

I guess priorities change though ...

Msharmony:

I saw that same article today, and was amazed at the sound rhetoric Mr Pence used. I have found something I agree with the man on!

Thanks for posting it here.

Hmmm...

A republican with high moral standards ... well, once

So was Bill Clinton's.. until he got caught getting a b*o*j*b in the oval office.

Im not sure about that. I havent seen the ARTICLE he wrote about how presidents should carry themselves in their family life.

Don't really care how you try to spin it the man got a b*o*j*b.. in his office.. at work... with a intern... then lied about it.. then fessed up to it only when cornered. . And unless I am mistaken.. that is frowned upon.. at work... anywhere. That is grounds for dismissal.. anywhere.

Unless of course you are saying it is o.k. to have sex at work.. on other peoples dime. Or you can show me in any Government employment handbook where it states that sex on the job is o.k.

No where did I imply otherwise. Let me repeat what was posted, for clarity.


Seriously, the very idea that we ought to have at or less than the same moral demands placed on the Chief Executive that we place on our next door neighbor is ludicrous and dangerous.

"Throughout our history, we have seen the presidency as the repository of all of our highest hopes and ideals and values. To demand less is to do an injustice to the blood that bought our freedoms."



this was ONCE the stance of a man who then supported someone as president who did not concern himself with 'moral demands' of anyone, excusing vial and misogynistic speech and behavior that I wouldnt approve of from a 'next door neighbor.'
