At the very least we expect their supporters to understand the principle, not pretend ignorance of the need for it. Without this most basic of grasp of the importance of standards we are left with no principles at all. Is this what we want? I would have thought the electorate had it's fill of that by now, yet there is still so much blind faith, blind loyalty, fervent rationalization in play, one has to wonder just how high that threshold is for self-deception among the electorate.

John McCain — “he walked the anti-regulatory party line, with only occasional exceptions…and tried to lay down a smokescreen of righteousness by campaigning against small potato[e!]s like legislative earmarks–money to study the mating habits of, uh, crabs, in, uh, Alaska (proposed by Governor Honorable).” Joe Klein
