RE: Are There Any Republicunts Who Aren't Crooks?

My dad was convinced to have a kid because of a Republican (no, it's not what you're thinking  ) and my legal guardian (in case something happens to my parents) is also a Republican... I'd say both of them are really nice people who have their heads screwed on well. Then again, they're not politicians, so not really the answer you're looking for, but hey, just responding to the thread title here. 
The word bed actually looks like a bed.

Are they "nice people" who would vote for a corrupt piece of shit because he has an R after his name?
You see, that impacts the "nice" part.

Of course not. It is his belonging to his political party that makes him guilty of something.

You mean still living?
Because Nixon wasn't a crook.
We know that because he said so.

Could be that he wants to help vets, who want to try a new therapy.
I don't know. I suspect you don't either. You hating the guy' s political party doesn't make him guilty of something.
The simple act itself puts him under suspicion due to the relevant federal code. That's why we have it in the first place..it's a thing that politicians do regardless of their party affiliation. Am I a cynic? Sure. My cynicism is wholly bipartisan, however, lol. You tell me some official is steering a process towards their bank account, I'm going to be hard pressed to imagine that they're doing it out of the goodness of their hearts.
Regardless, can you see why your analogy failed? There is a law against doing what it very much looks like this guy is doing. There is not a law against vets wanting to try out some treatment. Additionally, an official has leverage over process that a vet group simply doesn't. The cases aren't even remotely equivalent...and because of this..what may be true of one, given x...is not necessarily true of the other, given x. In his mind everything and everyone is partisan ...

Nixon wasn't a crook only in comparison to the WLB.

The "everything is politics" bit is just another avenue for alternative facts and a post fact american process.
