They don’t have to because of the propaganda campaign of the Republicans. They have convinced people that being a Republican is proof of virtue.

Arza cannot control his outbursts when he has been drinking (IIRC, that was the excuse he gave), he should either not drink, or not hold public office. I’m glad to see he agrees, and has resigned. What is the minimum we have a right to expect of any public official? I think “not spewing racist obscenities” is included in that minimum.

How much can one generalize? It’s hard to tell, but there certainly seem to be a lot of GOP officeholders and candidates with “family values problems” these days… and this after ranting for years about how moral they are.

I believe it was Emerson who said, “The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons.” And in the case of GOPers, the faster we lock up our sons and daughters and spouses and (not so incidentally) wallets. Party of family values, MFA.

The guy is running for a seat in a district with a lot of minority residents whom he apparently doesn’t like very much.
