Two wrongs do not make a right. Lowering the standards of acceptable behavior... serves no good purpose. I expect better. Especially when it comes to the behavior of our elected representatives... regardless of who it is, no matter their party. Our representatives in both houses of Congress need to serve with the dignity that the office demands. They need to show respect to the people that they represent. That's all I'm trying to say. There's nothing at all unreasonable in that.
