No problem for me who they fuck as long as they aren't putting themselves up a paragons of morality and fine examples of "family values". It's the hypocrisy that bothers most people.

That and it's a little embarrassing when one of our top representatives is outed on acts of infidelity. Of course, after we had the world laughing at us with Bill, George showed us there's much worse things to have the world do at you.

Given the subject matter, and given the fact that every human being on this earth has lied or distorted the truth about their sex lives at one time or another, using this as an example of judging one's character for being President is a weak one. I said this back during the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal and I still say it now. Hell, even the Republican scandals are quite silly but it comes off being more dramatic considering how many adamantly voice their opinions against infidelity and homosexuality.
If being honest about who you're fucking was that important to get a job in this country, imagine how high the unemployment rate would be? Some people are just too obsessed about the action. The lie. Yeah, like Politicians never lie. When can we as rational thinking adults, treat each incident individually and judge accordingly? So he cheated on his wife. Does it suck? Of course. Does this make him a bad politician? I think his track record speaks otherwise. How about we get Obama & McCain on the judge's stand and ask them how big their dicks are? And if they lie about that we can take away their nominations for Presidency. Because clearly, if someone lies about these matters they are not fit to make decisions on the economy and the war!!!

I agree!
Are you not paying attention? Democrat politicians are poonhounds. It's the Republican politicians that like cock. :biggrin1:
What planet do you live on? The war is on the news everyday! We get death tallys on every channel. Even the fighting in Russia and Georgia have almost overshadowed any Olympic event in which there is Russian participation.
What I would like to see is more truthful reporting in the shabby way the returning Vets are being treated by the federal government.
People need to know about this, so we can be better armed to change things.

Well, I haven't missed the point.
My point is that any man, any woman can cheat. And it doesn't have to be about marital fidelity. Any man or any woman is susceptible towards cheating in other areas other than love commitments. Politicians aren't immune to that.
If a male politician cheats on his wife...does it mean that he is a bad candidate because he didn't disclose it to the public? And what does marital infidelity have to do with public service? He could be a politician that is committed to his wife and be a horrible public servant/politician.

John Edwards is handsome. If he were gay, Mike Jones would've known about it and would've told us by now.
What's really tragic about this story is that the trashy tabloid gossip rag - The National Enquirer has been elevated to a reputable new source.
What next? Jane Dixon's predictions are real? Fox News fair and balanced?

I was disappointed in Edwards when the story first broke, but at this point, I'm so done with it. However, the news seems to want to drag it out as long as they can. One network news broadcast had a reporter saying "Did Edwards tell the truth when he said he told his wife about the affair in 2006? When did Elizabeth Edwards know?' Who really cares as long its between the two of them? The same with the paternity of the child. If both Edwards and the mistress say that he's not the father, then what business is it of the media and the general public.

Agreed, Invisi!
Infidelity is not a concern of anyone outside of the intimate relationship and has no bearing on how someone will conduct their self in public duties.
Personally, I look at the Edwards situation, and any other public figures forced disclosure of infidelity, as our, meaning media and publics, shameless invasion of their privacy.
Sure, he was wrong to lie, however, in his situation, I won't fault the lie because it feels like a correct response to a question that was highly inappropriate. Indeed, I think if anyone has wronged, it is the public and media in their arrogance and bullying that leads to these intrusions and demand for answers, when we should respect a person's private life as we want ours respected.

I guess there's no outrage because the Clinton do it, and McCain current wife was the result of an affair too. Let's face it - people cheat.

As usual, most of you simply don't get it. The fact that he cheated is no big deal, IF he weren't a public figure entrusted with the public trust. Imagine all the campaign workers who aren't millionaire fat cat attorneys who gave of their time and treasure to support a guy who did something that seriously called into play his lack of judgement. When you are running for office, whether you like it or not, having an affair injures your campaign. He violated the trust of his workers by choosing to risk his chances for pussy. Had he come right out and said b/4 throwing his hat in the ring, I have affairs, but vote for me anyways, anyone could have made his own judgement whether to support him. He lied to the people trying to get him elected. Thats heinous.
Technically, he only lied if he was asked about it before and said no. If the topic never came up, then he just never volunteered the truth. And politicians hiding skeletons until somebody else opens the door is just business as usual.
