Before all the guys and gals who have cheated on their spouse come here to tell you "this is no big deal," I will say it most certainly is a big deal.

I like Vitter but cheating on your spouse, especially when you have small children, is a SERIOUS Character flaw.

If he is flawed when it comes to his family's emotional well being, why would he not be flawed in matters of National concern?

And it does reflect on Rudi and his band of "flawed" supporters.
This party used to stand for something and minimizing things like broken families goes against our principles.

No one is saying that cheating on one's spouse is not a serious character flaw. It is, but we must also understand that every now and then, even the best of people can give into temptation and do things they wouldn't otherwise do. Everyone is susceptible to this, it is part of our human nature.

Of course, this does not excuse such actions. If anything, we should pray that he and his family can get through this difficult time.

You should look at this another way. It isn't like he got drunk and killed somebody.

Prude!

He cast his damn vote correctly, so what the hell more do you want? Perfection?!?! Cam’t you see that asking a married man not to frequent prostitutes is practically Puritan of you?!?!?!

How DARE you have a moral standard for office-bearers!?!?! Do you want the Democrats to win, or are you rooting for the terrorists?!?!

And Rudy being surrounded by gay Republicans, NARAL-types, cocaine users, crooked cops, and frequenters of prostitutes - all of these people holding KEY positions in his campaigns and administrations - proves nothing. After all, if I use six degrees of separation with you, I can connect you to Osama Bin Laden.

Instantly forgive, because they vote Conservative. That way, we can be just like the Democrats. The measure of a person is no longer based on their character as a whole - it is based on how they vote on key political issues. We can overlook the other stuff, because he’s our guy!
