Some of us prefer to hold the senior-most leaders of the free world to a higher standard than most of our own worthless neighbors. The moment they become a "representative" of any sort, they give up the right to be average scum-sucking gutter trash -- and this includes their spouses as well.
I refuse to allow immoral scumbags to "represent" me.
why should they be held to a higher moral standard as long as the issue has no issue on their ability to do their job and is not illegal? and how would Cindy McCain having an affair have anything to do with John McCain's morals?
good vs. poor judgment.
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.
