“I’m starting to think about this morality stuff,” Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin said as he began his radio show Monday night. “Everything we do should involve morality … but let me ask you a question: If you were alive during George Washington’s times, would you have voted for George Washington?”

Levin then went on to list the moral failings of past politicians from the slave-owning founders, to the adulterous John F. Kennedy, to Bill Clinton himself, and so on.

“I’m not defending Donald Trump,” Levin exclaimed. “I’m trying to understand hypocrisy.” Referring to the Republican lawmakers that have since dropped their support for Donald Trump following the release of a 2005 video where Trump makes lewd remarks about women.

Levin never gave approval to what Trump said in the 2005 audio tape, in fact, he called it “disgusting” and “pathetic.” But he made clear he did not intend to join the “RINOs” who are using it as an excuse for pulling their support.

At the close of the clip, Levin declared, “It is NOT the moral and principled thing to do to stand down in this election ... It is NOT the conservative thing to do to stand down in this election.”

They are distancing themselves politically.  To think there is an abundance of moral absolutes in politics is silly.  Complaining about hypocrisy in politics is like complaining about bluffing in poker.

Trump is a train wreck.  How could anyone not expect crap like this was going to come out at the election got closer from a man like trump?  He's where he is because he says things and attacks things people are fed up with.  Some of what he says plain stupid such as the wall.  But he is proof that the american people are straight fed up with our government and something needs to be done.  i just don't think he's the man to do it.

Trump was not my first choice, but like it or not, it is either gonna be "President Donald Trump" or "President Hillary Clinton. You may hate both options buts one of them is gonna be in the White House, and to me he is the much better of the 2 bad choices, especially when it comes to picking Scalia's replacement.

Johnson has no chance, so a vote for him is nothing more than a waste of time, besides he is for open borders just like Hillary.

It frustrates me to oblivion how many Christian/conservatives are refusing to vote. As I've told them, they will regret it in the near future. Hillary will take what Obama has done and go much farther beyond it as she is completely dispicable. She will do it much faster then anyone dreams of and they will have a hand in it by allowing her to get in office.

I've never voted before.  I have an out of state drivers license and I think I have to get one here in order to vote.  Too lazy.  Not sure if I have enough time anyway.   Something tells me I should though.
