should moral character be considered in choosing our leaders?

how important to american voters is the moral character of its leaders? 
answer: not very much

the current indignation with sexual improprieties, that began with harvey weinstein and has spread from hollywood to government and elsewhere, seems to be an exception. is it a passing fad? probably. once the fad has run its course, then it will likely be back to business as usual with the "blind eye" that  most of us turn towards sexual and other improprieties by the rich and famous.

for those who believe that moral character in our leaders is important, it's time for change. how, you might ask? simple. it's time to drain the swamp.

who do you trust? 

1. someone who has values similar to yours?
The good, the bad & the ugly: let's make America great again
2. someone who doesn't?
3. political parties, financed by billionaire corporations and PACs?

here's how government works:

if you vote for a republican or a democrat, then it's not the person who you voted for who is in control--it's the party.

in the next election--national, state or local--vote for anyone except a democrat or a republican. soon the republican and democratic parties will dry up and die. nothing will be better for the United States of America.

PS similarly, by refusing to patronize dishonest and biased media, they too will shrivel up and die--a triple win for honesty in government, for integrity in reporting the actions of government, and for us.
