In Politics, Cheating on Your Wife Is Relative

John Edwards cheated on his wife. The media found out about it. John Edwards will not be attending the Democratic convention.

Rudy Giuliani used public funds to cheat on his wife and used city agencies to cover his tracks. The media found out about it. Rudy Giuliani will be delivering the keynote at the Republican convention.

What is it with politicians cheating on their wives? Must be an acceptable thing now in politics.

The Democratic Party is controlled by feminists who do not like their husband to cheat. The Republican Party is controlled by men. Need I say more.

NcCain cheated on his disabled wife, was a well known womanizer, applied for license to marry current wife b/4 divorce was final, new wife's money got him elected so guess everything is relative.

Now granted, Edwards cheating on his wife shows that adultery isn't an exclusive action of Republicans, but am I the only one who has the impression that Republican skeletons come out more often than those of the Dems?

And Republicans are friggin hypocrites, so what else is new???

Do we have any real Issues to discuss in this election?

Isn't there a war or an occupation going on somewhere?
A defacto foreign empire that's bankrupting the nation, or something of substance that we ought to be concerning ourselves with, rather than who looks best spattered with slung mud??

Thanks again, MEDIA.., for ignoring the 'urgent' and distracting us with the 'inane'!

The Republicans are damn proud of Rudy. At least he cheated with a woman.

Pretty sad isn't it? Most people think this shouldn't be an issue but it definitely is one.
I know each personal situation is different but it simply shows poor judgement, over inflated ego, selfishness, and the inability to fulfill a commitment.

liz observes: ... it simply shows poor judgement, over inflated ego, selfishness, and the inability to fulfill a commitment ...

With characteristics like that, you'd have to say he'd be a perfect candidate for high elective office, representing one of the two wings or our ruling party..., if he hadn't already been elected to one.
