All due to a human life that was lived - he was a fellow human being that deserves the respect that comes with it. However, if it were not for the power of his father, the long and strong family coat tails, and a very liberal state he would have been dumped long ago for his poor life choices. More good men and women have been ruined for far less than has been overlooked in his life. I will also go on record as saying that his welfare policies have done more to ruin the American work ethic and sense of personal responsibility than any single movement in history.
