I remember when I told my parents “but everyone else is doing it” as a defense for some infraction when I was about seven or eight years old, my father told me that from now on, it would be everyone else less one! He emphasized his point with a few good licks where they would do the most good. (Mind you, I was raised back in the time when parental discipline was neither abuse nor an oxymoron.) Being of average intelligence, I never raised that defense again.

My BIL used to tell me that whatever I complained about bush doing, Carter had done, too.
When I said that it was nice that Carter was a role model for him, it stopped.

^Probably none. The Democrats have generally held to standards for their own, even when some would rather not face up to the problems.

Thank you, Mr. Stantis, for pinpointing our democracy’s death spiral.

You missed the point. Bush being wrong didn’t make Carter right.
