Let's see, when one Party found out that their President had lied, they
forced him to resign.
Another Party nominated and elected a President who had a reputation for
being a "slick liar." Said President then committed criminal lies when
questioned by a Grand Jury under a law he pushed through Congress and then
signed. This Party then not only did not force said President to resign,
but demagogued the entire process, arguing very prominently that "lies do
not matter."
Thus, Republicans are unusual in considering honesty to be important, not
that they demand 100% honesty mind you, but they are unusual in considering
it to be important.
