I’m no Romney fan, but this is getting ridiculous.
That said, I would like to ask a tangential question:
Why do so many (male) politicans seem to have a problem with marital fidelity, including those who publicly endorse it?
I suggest the following possible reasons, or combinations of reasons:
1. Infidelity is wide spread, and can tempt even the Henry Hydes of this world
2. The same qualities that make someone competitive in the field of politics make the politicians more susceptible.
3. The same qualities that make someone competitive in the field of politics make the politicians more likely to be a sociopath.
4.Some of talented women hunt down athletes, others go for movie stars, others still want to land a man with political power.
5. Competitive people like politicians have a sub-conscious desire to place themselves at risk to see if they can beat it.
6. Two words: Original Sin.
7. Their wives become bitches once they achieve stature and power, and they realize they have their husbands over a barrel given the political pressure to keep up a charade.
Why do so many males seem to have a problem with marital fidelity
My guess is that males are simply wired that way (to go for attractive women). Whereas women are wired to go after high status males. Low status males don't get the same opportunities, because females tend to go for guys higher on the totem pole. Monogamy may simply go against human nature.
Some turn a blind eye on Politicans who had sex before marriage and some how many reason it is ok if you plan to get married!
It still is breaking a commandment no matter how one slices it!
