I haven't cheated on my wife and four kids, or anything close to it. The man is a moral scumbag who should resign. Why are we all having trouble saying that? Because he's a Republican? Because the DemoRats wouldn't boot Clinton? Please. If we excuse this behavior, we'll just get more of it. So stop with the "we're all sinners" crap and call a spade a spade.
I'm quite frankly disgusted with most of the posts I'm seeing here. I've been around this place since 1997, and I never thought I'd see people excusing adultery.
As I said earlier about my final Judge...
Sin is sin, I did not know God rated it on a scale. This was BEFORE he ran for the senate, he has asked God and his family to forgive him. I do not expect my elected officials to be without sin. I elect them based on their voting record.
What he did in his personal life is less offensive to me than an elected official who runs on a less govt platform then goes to Washington and steals my tax dollars and spends like a drunken sailor. Or one who says he will never support amnesty then goes to Washington and votes for it.
But you holier than thou voters have every right to vote for a candidate based on their personal life, and when you find one that is perfect let us all know who he is.
you need to get off your self righteous ladder and take a break
“I’m quite frankly disgusted with most of the posts I’m seeing here. I’ve been around this place since 1997, and I never thought I’d see people excusing adultery.”
Some on here see politics as a team sport. If its a Dem jump all over him. If a Rep does the same thing make excuses. I get fed up with it.
If every member of Congress who committed adultery resigned, that would be about 2/3 of the House and Senate. Which does sound appealing.
Vitter, we found out about. But realistically, hundreds of other Congressmen and -women have done the same or worse; they just didn't get caught.
Bill Clinton wasn’t being tried over adultery. He was being tried by Paula Jones for sexual harassment.
And whether he was engaging in workplace sexual affairs with co-workers and paying for them to lie under oath WAS relevant to that case.
Major dittos.
