Does a presidential candidate's private sex/relationship life matter to you? Do you care if the candidate is married? Been divorced? Had an affair? Has a mistress? How much does the candidate's private life matter?
From Clinton to Edwards, Kenedy to Cain, this comes up time and again. It just eliminated the front running candidate. Some consider it an issue about Gingrich.
What say you?
Yeah, what does Gingrich purjuring himself in front of the Congressional Ethics Committee have to do with Clinton perjuring himself? I can see how you're confused. :lol:
Was he charged with perjury, I thought your quote said he broke House Rules?
Cheating on your spouse means you have reneged on your marriage vows - something you willingly make before man and God, and is widely considered the most solemn of all oaths. Gingrich did not break his marriage vows once - but twice.Nice try.
The fact that Newt was a cheater did not disqualify him from voting to impeach a sitting president for lying under oath. How is lying under oath the same thing as cheating on your wife. Grant it, both are bad but how are they linked. Are you saying every person in congress that has had an affair can not vote to impeach a President for perjury? Wow, that will probably knock out a hundred congressmen.
I would be less trustful of a celibate monk of a candidate than I would of a prolific philanderer. It's not unrealistic that an aggressive and dominant person would be a good leader, nor is it unrealistic to think that such a person expresses those qualities sexually. I think it's bizarre that we expect our leaders not to have mistresses. I think it's fairly ingrained in us biologically to act that way.
If that's the the kind of leader you want, look no further than Italy's former prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi!I remember reading one psychological opinion that the same complusions driving someone to extreme leadership asperations and abilities inherently will tend to also mean an extreme sex drive.
