Never have voted a straight ticket.. Not that it matters.  I am not someone that can be pigeon holed.

Like you don't for any Republican running for office.

ragman-

You crack me up.  Loved your list.  Incomplete, but very good.

A practice that has gone on for time in memoriam.  The ole' fling.  Why do they think they can get away with it in the time of tabloid media, This stuff sells. So they will be caught.  However, some will get a pass. Edwards isn't running for anything right now, so the whole thing is rather moot. Others, that weren't mentioned:

John McCain, had an affair, married his mistress, now his wife. Other accusations have been leveled, but are they true?

That governor of New York guy. Oh yea--Spitzer.

Newt Gingrich, can't keep up with him.

Bill O'Lielly--he likes his phone sex. I know isn't running for anything, but is a huge hypocrite!

JFK, diddled around they say.....press didn't report such things back then.  It has been rumored and then substantiated by some women.  Angie Dickinson said it was the best 3 minutes of her life.

General Eisenhower, had him a girlfriend.

William J Clinton, repeat offender.

LBJ, come on, Lady Byrd was so sweet. 

Dick Morris--known prostitute toe sucker.

Larry Craig, he has a wide stance on cheating.

Mel Reynolds, sex with 16 year old.

Mark Foley, he likes boys, the younger the better.

Garry Hart, he was "monkeying" around on a boat. But it was a women!

Strom Thurman, racist pedophile.

Beverly Russell, incest with his daughter. She is in prison for murdering her own children.  Right wing family values.

Republican anti-abortion activist Neal Horsley admitted to having sex with a mule.  Man!  His wife must have been sore.

He isn't running for office either but had to add--Republican preacher Jimmy Swaggart preached fidelity, but cheated on his wife with a prostitute.

Republican Congressman and huge hypocrite Henry Hyde denounced President Clinton's extramarital affair until his own marital infidelities were revealed.

Republican Senator Bob Packwood resigned from Congress after 29 women accused him of sexual harassment.

Wayne Hays, OK it was in the 70's, but trying to be fair! Sex favors from secretary.

Bob Allen, another bathroom bandit.

Ted Kennedy, I am sure someone would have an affair with him.

David Vitter, prostitute visitor.

Dan Burton, the guy who called Pres. Clinton a "scumbag" (that's nasty!) and hounded him for years with investigations----In September 1998, Burton admitted to fathering a son, born in 1983, with a former state employee.   After the admission, one report claimed, "During part of the 1970s and '80s, Dan Burton was known as the biggest skirt-chaser in the Indiana legislature .

This is in fact a very short list, but I think there is enough bad behavior to go around.

 People who live in glass houses......................

Politicians have to have a higher level of ego and narcicism than the average person to do what they do.  Then they rise to power and that old adage may hit them on the head...and no I don't remember the correct words --but it is about absolute power can be currupting.  So can the fawning.  As long as there have been politicians, mucians, etc. for some unknown reason there are women who will fawn and be their groupies. They are mesmerized by the person standing in the lime light and some actually think they are so lucky to be with that man, have sex with that man, and believe maybe they are that special lady.  Sometimes, they receive money under the table and other favors.  Having courtesans (mistresses) has been a long practice going many years back.

Both parties willingly did the deed. And yes I think it is so disrespectful to his wife and shows how little he really believes in or cares about his wedding vows. 

Many voters saw his character flaws way before this came to light.  He and his wife had too much of the attitude of Marie Antoinette --let them eat cake. They travel spouting what the common man should do but put themselves above it.  So does Obama.  If this was a conservative politician -- the newspapers everywhere would be dripping blood.  Instead, we have some saying don't tell it.  I think the vermin must be shown in the sunlight.

Most of these men start thinking with the wrong head as my dad would say. As far as the Advocate printing anything I wouldn't hold my breath. It's about like the mayor in Detroit the liberal papers and news networks don't mention that he is a Democrat. It's also how they treat the illegal alien problem. All they talk about are the sob stories and very rarely about the victims.
