Well, Republicans do seem to be less forgiving of sexual misconduct, that is true.  Partisan politics being that they are, though, the name of the game is usually to bash the other party while protecting one's own. 


Going back to Lyndon Johnson, Democrats had no problem bashing a Democrat for having sent troops into an unnecessary war. 


Jimmy Carter was roundly denounced by both parties when the economy went sour, with only a few die hards pointing out that the root of the economic woes was OPEC.


Democrats weren't happy with Clinton and the spectacle of him lying under oath to cover up a sexual tryst, even while saying that the affair was no big deal. 


But, in general, it's Republicans who bash Democrats, and vice versa.
