Forgive the Man his vanity @Rivergirl he was a lousy Husband (to someone), a horrific Naval Aviator and the bottom of the barrel GOPer, but he's dead, that will always be off limits to me no matter his perpetual shortcomings in Life.
No. He left too many booby traps in his wake. The "Steele Dossier" is but one. We must not let death serve as an immunity from criticism. His treachery must be exposed in the fullness of time but I fear it will not, he'll get an annual Holiday and will be put on a pedestal to worship. If we let this stand, Hillary will be up there too, she got off because "she was punished enough" by virtue of losing an election.
I won't be one to criticize his Navy Service because I did not serve and don't have standing. I will leave that to those on the Forum who did.
But I will criticize hie political career because I DO have standing. I share responsibility for this Rat. When he first ran for Congress, it was my district. Naturally, when he ran for Senate...my State. I think I voted for him twice. I'd been watching this gentleman get away with perfidy after perfidy, with a good measure of treachery to serve as mortar for the bricks.
He always considered himself the heir to Barry Goldwater. Barry was no great shakes for conservatives either BTW, his last five years of life were saturated with liberal nostrums. I think it was his new wife.
So no! Politicians don't suddenly get a pass for their deceitful practices in life because they croak. I wouldn't get one (when I pass people will be smearing me all over this land, I imagine). I'm just this guy....
I must stand athwart this and yell, "Stop!"
