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

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.

That is why are Representatives should be the best of us, not like the rest of us.

He has serious matters to deal with and a certain amount of power. If he can give into sexual whims when it would destroy those closest to him and most dependent upon him, then he might do something to "screw" the American public he does not know.
