I guarantee you if the democrats could come up with the tiniest indiscretion in Romney's life, they would pivot 180 degrees and we would be getting the sanctimonious lectures about how important character is in public servants. Anyway, like Lucrum posted, it wasn't the sex, it was lying in a deposition in front of a federal judge in a case against him for outrageous sexual harrassment. That's called perjury. Even big shots like Martha Stewart were sent to federal prison for less serious perjury. Anyway, democrats don't have to worry about affairs, etc because the media will always do clean up duty for them. See Kennedy, Ted. Republicans, not so much. Obama wouldn't have been president or senator if the media and democrat operatives didn't leak supposedly sealed divorce records of not one, but two of his rivals.
And that's called politics. Both parties ooze hypocrisy. I stand by my moral equivalency postion. They're all in it neck deep.
You call it politics. I call it a double standard. I think the vast majority of the American people do not want a president with a sleazy personal life. They elected Clinton, but the media basically hid his indiscretions. He never got a majority of the vote either.
Bullshit aaa, it was in the news all the time about Clinton...BEFORE... he was elected. The public knew about him and elected him twice. And America is better off for it. Look at the recent presidents, Omama, probably didn't screw around while president, an OK president so far. Bush 2, probably didn't drink or screw around while president a horrible president, Clinton, well we know about him, a good president. Bush 1, probably didn't screw around while president, an OK president. Reagan, probably didn't screw around while president, but I bet he got his share earlier in life, a good president. Carter, probably didn't screw around while president, not a good president. Nixon, probably didn't screw around while president, not a good president. Kennedy, well we know about him, a good president. Do we really want to use a guys personal sex life a guage for president ? The correct answer is no. Of the three good presidents in the last 50 years, Kennedy, Reagan and Clinton two of the three liked the women, a lot. And Reagan might of too if he'd been younger when he was elected. Statistically it doesn't matter.
I would say 3 out of the 3 .Reagan was a good looking Hollywood actor,you know he was nailing hot actresses and groupies
