As noted by TS and Pete, Snopes lost a good deal of credibility on this one. First, the story's status is listed as "Multiple", but the article only focuses on what the author considers falsehoods. Second, the writing style and tone of the author seem terribly condescending. Lastly, many of the "sources" are of opinion-piece quality and in my mind not appropriate to use to "debunk" many of the accusations.

But, if you want to hang your opinion on something as overtly biased as that article, drive on with your bad self.

Me too. I sense a hunger for power in him. That's dangerous, in my opinion.

And I keep wondering how he came so far, so fast. Either he has some very powerful backers, or he has the charisma and presence to hypnotize the masses.

I am more scared of his wife, she's more power hungry than him.

"But solid food is for full-grown men, for those whose senses and mental faculties are trained by practice to discriminate and distinguish between what is morally good and noble and what is evil and contrary either to divine or human law."
-Hebrews 5:14 (Amplified Bible)


The author of Hebrews (traditionally attributed to St. Paul) makes an interesting point:
The ability to distinguish good from evil (even as it pertains to human law) is developed by practice.

Liberals love moral relativism. It might as well be their religion.
They encourage a society where nobody makes any judgements about the behavior of anyone.
Moral absolutes are portrayed as vice rather than virtue.

Eventually, the majority of the electorate lacks the ability to make wise judgements concerning the character of their leaders.
