That's not to say that adultery shouldn't raise concern. The affairs of a libidinous politician could become a huge media distraction or make them susceptible to blackmail. Until it gets to that point, I prefer not to make it a real factor. |

It does remind me of a buddy with whom I talk politics. One of them lived off government aid during grad school and he did it in a pretty dishonest way. Yet he is constantly railing against entitlements and corruption. When I call him out on it he reminds me that he is paying more in taxes than he ever took. |

I also think this is the true motivation of most political protestors who are male. Really, that's what a lot of anti-war stuff is all about.
