THINK -- MY NOTE TO MSNBC'S JOE SCARBOROUGH AND MIKA

The question Joe presented is why did liberals in 1996 support Bill Clinton in view of his sexual improprieties. If you and Mika would think about it one should not make general statements indicting an entire group like that. It is not true that all liberals supported Clinton's indiscretions. I did not support his behavior then even though his policies for the most part with some exceptions I did support. I thought his misdeeds were unfortunate because he would have a Republican Party that would pounce on it and they did.

Beyond that is the important issue that Republicans base their very politics, courting religion, courting Evangelicals, being the strict moral -- especially sexually moral -- Party that was supposed to bring that social culture into the political realm. They caught Dixicrats in their political net for among other things of a racial nature, their hatred of libertine sexual mores that the late 60's generation they thought provoked. 

If you and Mika gave two substantive thoughts about the issue you would realize that Democrats do not run on a strict platform of sexual mandates. They do run on a strict platform of not abusing women sexually or otherwise. Liberal Democrats, of which I am proudly one, emerged from the late 1960's culture that threw much (not all) sexual morality over for a culturally freer milieu. That is the difference. Democrats did not demand Clinton fess up because many did not think his behavior then an egregious sin. Republicans are all about religion, sin, sexual sin and Trump surely is the antithesis of that!  That makes him and them hypocrites!

Give things some thought why doncha instead of simply reading from a teleprompter where Mika says thank you more times than a ticket taker and more than she certainly emotes well thought out ideological analysis. I could read from a teleprompter and make the millions I assume you make.

Use your big brains for analysis of issues, analyze them and think!
