God and Family Values

Honesty is telling the truth to other people. 

Integrity is telling the truth to yourself. 

Okay let’s agree to ignore and totally forget what the Republican Party and Trump loyalists are irrationally demanding we disregard.  Let’s forget about the Howard Stern tapes, the bus comments, the Miss Universe comments, hobnobbing with Hugh Hefner at the Playboy mansion, the Carly Fiorina personal appearance attack and all the other forgotten female slights not noted here.  Just put them out of your mind - give them absolutely no weight.

Now the question becomes; what other demands would these ardent supporters of morality and strength of character also like us to accommodate? 

Would they like us to forget all or just a portion of the following??

·         Mr. Trumps bragging about his dalliances, along with his adultery with Marla Maples while married to Ivana  

·         The mocking of a physically handicapped reporter

·         Calling John McCain, a loser because he was captured in Vietnam

·         War hero and former Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s statement that he will write-in his vote on election day.

·         Trump’s endless bigoted pronouncements 

·         For probably the first and ONLY time both Michael Moore and Glen Beck will be in agreement - Trump should not sit in the oval office.

·         Paul Ryan, the most influential Republican legislator in the country, refusing to campaign for Trump.

·         A third of the Republican senators refusing to endorse Trump

·         “Not a single CEO of a fortune 100 company has endorsed Trump – 11 of them are backing Clinton.  Not one major newspaper has endorsed Trump and some are endorsing a Democrat for the first time in over 100 years.  Even conservative thought leaders (Magazines, Noted Columnists and Pundits)…are in some form Anti-Trump and in some cases have become pro-Clinton.”  - Chuck Todd - Meet The Press 

There is of course more – so very much more – but let’s just start there so we can learn what the legitimate concerns should be when considering Mr. Trump and his character.  After all, supporters of those committed to the party of God First and family values can surely justify why all of this should be routinely dismissed. 

I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters.” ~ Donald J. Trump
