Also, I'm with Polen. Being incompetent at PR isn't impeachable. That's what elections are for.
I agree with Polens stance but I agree with Rex that the outrage from your own party when this happens on both sides isn't exactly believable or as harsh as when it's the opposing side. Nobody wants their star striker to get a red card but the game should be played fairly.
Let me put it another way: Do you feel a racist / sexual harasser still represents you as a person even if it comes out after you voted for him or her? Do you think that person should represent the People? The majority of whom do not share those hateful & destructive views / actions?
If your answer is no, what would you propose? A background check and moral scorecard for every person running for public office? Everyone has skeletons in their closet but not everyone is racist or a sexual predator.
It's pretty clear that there is some political stake burning going on, especially from journalists and PIs funded by both sides. But do we get out ahead of it or create some kind of formal process for inquiry if this stuff comes up post election?
