I disagree. I'm pretty far to the left, but I generally pull my support if the skeletons pile up or start coming back to life as flesh-eating zombies.
I think what makes it look as if we treat Conservatives' skeletons differently is the element of hypocracy that often uniquely accompanies theirs.
The problem with decrying human nature in the public sphere and attempting to control it in others, is that it can't be controlled in yourself. We are all human, and Progressives have the advantage of allowing for that. So when "we" fukup, at least we haven't railed against that same thing in speeches and legislation. Human nature goes down much easier that way.
Ya know, the homophobes that get arrested in tearooms. The Fundies with unwed teen pregnancies at the time of their nomination, that kind of thing.
That's why we yawn when Clinton gets his dick sucked under the Oval Office desk. I'm not aware he ever badmouthed blowjobs.
