Oh dear. I really feel bad for McCain (assuming the rumors about HIS affair were false). He's had a hard month.

In this case, McCain's choice of an immoral wife calls his own judgment into question -- similar to his poor choice of Palin as a running mate. As it was with Clinton in the 90's, I simply refuse to support any "representative" who demonstrates patterns of poor or immoral judgment.
Hell, in my line of work, adultery would cost me my clearances, my job, my retirement, and I'd more than likely be brought up on charges. I would expect the same of any public servant, especially those in such powerful positions.
In this case, as I said above, John should demonstrate some good judgment, for a change, and just ditch the bitch.

Yes, I even mean that for Republicans, how do you know J Mac has working equipment?
She's entitled to a hard one.

Indeed. I don't care who the President is sleeping with or really anything at all about their personal lives unless it affects their performance. ...

So you'd have no problem with a 42 year Congressman fucking his son, his sister, and the family dog -- just as long as he doesn't allow it to effect his work on the Hill!?? ALLLLRIIGHTY THEN... got it.Originally posted by: Atomic Playboy

Morality only exists because some people decided that certain acts were unacceptable. Killing other humans? Unacceptable. Cheating on your wife? Unacceptable. Coveting your neighbor's oxen? Unacceptable. Eating meat on the sabbath? Unacceptable. Whatever the particular moral case is, that sense of "morality" is a social construct invented by man to prevent people from engaging in activities that they would otherwise engage in. If, for example, no one wanted to kill anyone else, we wouldn't bother saying "well, murder is immoral" because it would never happen. Notice there's no morality associated with jamming a red-hot poker up your own ass; no one wants to do that, so we don't bother telling them it's immoral to get them to stop.
Seeing as the growth of morality originated to stop people from doing things that they'd like to do, it's no wonder that so much of morality (and religious morality in particular) is tied to sex. Don't have sex with your relatives, don't have sex with the same sex, don't have sex with multiple people, don't have sex with anyone but your wife, don't have sex with someone else's wife, don't have sex with animals, don't have sex in public, don't have oral sex, don't have anal sex... We wouldn't have to have these as moral codes (or laws, depending on where you are) if people didn't want to fuck.
Really, what it boils down to is that morality is a code designed to control behavior. Sometimes it can be good (thou shalt not kill is a pretty good moral standard, I think). Other times, it's a bit asinine (like that filthy smut in the book of Leviticus). But I happen to think that attempting to control people sexually is bound to fail. Look at what happens when you try to force people to repress their sexuality (both gay AND straight); you get sex scandals like Craig, Clinton, Foley, Edwards, Spitzer, Mahoney, and so many others. I, personally, don't find sex to be immoral. Obviously, there are exceptions (rape is a fairly obvious one), but as a whole, I wouldn't give two shits if the entire house of representatives had a nine day orgy to kick off the legislative session. All I care about is job performance.
I no longer support him either. He and Clinton both brought shame and dishonor to the office of President -- for different reasons.Originally posted by: wwswimming

speaking of poor or immoral judgment - how about the supposedly pro-life George W. Bush ?

I feel bad for Mac if this turns out to be true.
I don't think John cares at all what Cindy does. And vice-versa.
All Cindy wanted was to come to Washington as First Lady.
how do you know... any of this?
Mrs. McCain, 54, describes herself as her husband?s best friend, though for the last two decades they have mostly lived apart, she in Arizona, he in Washington.
