I could not disagree with your response 8 trillion times more. This subject goes far beyond politics and into the strength and commitment of one's faith.
Past equals the future is total horsesh*t for those who know God on a deeper level. Despite religion, most advanced people realize this as well.
I'm not talking about excusing a past with harmful actions towards others or immorality on an offensive level.
There is a huge difference between having a normal past and one able to overcome campaign investigation and scrutiny.
Because a guy used to do blow alot and party at the clubs in his early 20's doesn't mean said person didn't grow up and walk a righteous path for the last 25 years.
Maybe he slept around a lot and had threesomes, etc before meeting his wife and falling madly in love and building a beautiful family.
Gotta love these high and mighty types. Demanding our leaders be saints who walked the straight and narrow all their lives, while their own background check wouldn't last two weeks in a campaign with the way things are.
You know who passes these background checks now...extremely rich people, extremely famous people, those who were groomed for office their whole lives, or ridiculously square people who can't relate to most of the common people.
I feel really sorry for you if you believe past equals the future in people. Maturity, finding their spirituality, etc. It's called growing into a man.
Would be a hell of a lot of inspirational, amazing stories and people we'd have to toss in the trash if one's past defines their worth and ability to make a difference.
