On The Plate Today: The Double Standard

U.S. Representative, Anthony Weiner, who is a Democrat,  may have sent a lewd photo of his male body parts in underwear to a woman. If he did, he will most likely suffer no consequences... because he is a Democrat.

If he were a Republican who did something similar, or not even close to the grossness of the act, then he would be gone by now because immoral Republicans are weeded out without mercy, while immoral Democrats are encouraged to stay on and flourish.  They most often win re-election by their supportive Democrat voters.

As a result of the on-going double standard, the moral character of most leading Democrats has evolved to be lower to a greater degree than that of most leading Republicans because of the lack of real punishment when Democrats error.
