John Conyers steps down from committee, but isn't going to resign ... or get kicked out. There's lots of examples, on both sides if the isle. Politicians can keep their jobs, while others that are politicians lose their job.

Or they then go on to get a good lobbying job, their own TV or radio show, or work for Fox news, MSNBC, or some other high paying job.

Politics has always been dirty, but it's now too dirty for any earnest Christian to be a part of.

But that's not stopping Christians today. They seem fine with immorality, as long as their party wins.
It is the old "lesser of two evils" choice. When faced with that I chose not to vote determining that the best outcome was one in which no one voted, hence no legitimacy to the winner. But for one party or the other this strategy would be suicide.

So then the Christian is faced with two evils -- vote for abortion, or vote for a man accused of being a creep. If you take abortion off the table (make it a State's rights issue) you would see that many Christians would begin to vote democrat.
