Actually, sir, there are conservatives aplenty who actually believe that we should not out hypocrites. They say that the fixation on the policymaker is a Liberal trick used to get around the unassailably moral policies of the GOP. And they actually argue that every time we show the Emporer to be not only naked, but masturbating to gay porn, we undermine the Republic, which is made of policies, which are bigger than the flawed people who support them.
Stated otherwise, we should not expect people to practice what they preach. This argument has been flogged all over National review and by that little scumbag Bill Kristol.
At its core its an argument that the populous is too stupid to think for itself and needs to be lead and we shouldn't shoot out the Republic's weakest supports - the policymakers.
I love Buckley, and I agree the average American is an imbecile, but even I can't get behind that sort of imperial thinking.
And of course, that horseshit doesn't stand up the two word retort - "Clinton Impeachment."

But, wait, the Dems are all traitors, so different standards should apply, no?
