I have big (REALLY BIG!) problems with G.W. Bush. But whatever complaints can be levied against him, John Kerry would be 3x worse.
This election was by far the worst in my 44-year-old memory of having to pick between not-so-lesser evils.
I disagree and agree. I find Mr. Bush to be neither the worst nor the best of presidents. Mr. Kerry, on the other hand - there is a special place in hell reserved for a soldier who turns his back on his fellow soldiers and consorts with the enemy in far off Paris while a hot war is still being waged and while fellow soliders in captivity must listen to his drivel during torture by their captors.
I, likewise, agree and disagree. Holding the office of president for only those who have never made a mistake will usually only produce candidates who are too timid to make a decision. I would be much happier with a candidate who has made mistakes, and learned from them.
I believe your point is that some mistakes are larger than others and may take longer and more effort to fully repent of. (Repent used in the literal definition meaning change of desire or attitude.) To hold a person forever beholden to the acts of idealistic youth is a standard I could never pass if I want to be able to look at myself in the mirror. I have done wrong and foolish things and have done my best to correct them. I hope others will let me grow and change. I need to allow others to grow and change also.
