Here's the problem with what this guy said: HE IS WRONG!!!
When New York Governor Eliot Spitzer (D) was caught in a sex scandal, he resigned. When New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevy (D) was caught in a scandal, he resigned as well. In other words, even though President Clinton did not resign, some Democrats have resigned in such situations.
Conversely, when South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford (R) was caught on the "Appalachian Trail," he resisted resigning. When Nevada Senator John Ensign (R) was caught in a scandal, he did not resign until it was clear that his colleagues were about to kick him out of the Senate because of enormous ethics violations. Louisiana Senator David Vitter (R) is in office to this very day even after it was revealed he was involved in a prostitution ring. Not only that, but his fellow Senate Republicans gave him a standing ovation upon his return to the chamber.
To sum it all up, neither party is consistent when it comes to how they handle their own personal scandals or those of their fellow party members. When people like this Matt Barber character claim that they do, let alone that those who share their ideology have the "moral high ground," they are either deluding themselves, or lying to their followers.
