Thread: Moral Failure of our Elected Officials

Funny, but I am not concerned with the very personal nature of something like this. I would rather not even hear about them because of the personal nature of such things. I am concerned only about the way in which a politician does his job and represents his constituents and the best interest of the american people in general. That he not put special interests above the common interest of the american people.

I do not expect our leaders to be deacons in church, and I am more pleased with men who are not perfect humans, because if they make an attempt to be morally superior to others, they are lying through their teeth. None of our greatest leaders were perfect moral beings, and that we expect that is ludicrous and shows our own refusal to see human beings as they really are. And we lose many men who would be great leaders because they consorted with woman and enjoyed sex. We should worry about the ones who seem to be too moral, because these are the dangerous ones and are hiding something greater than consorting with females for sex.

The private sex lives of other people is none of my business nor yours. If it is, you are just like women who watch soaps, and gossip at the beauty shop with the other old cackliing hens.

I want these guys to be moral when it comes to representing the american people, and I am not living in a delusion when I recognize the most common immorality comes from succumbing to one of the most powerful physical drives in nature. The sex drive and the need, the drive to satiate it. Half the nation who married divorced, and having sex outside the marriage is a common thread in these divorces.Perhaps 25 per cent more just did not get caught.

The lust for power that afflicts these politicians go hand in hand with sex. One enhances the other and both are very powerful. Powerful men like rock stars attract women. We can demand that they be sexually moral, but IMO that is none of our business. And we should not bother ourselves with it.

IMO, their character is impacted in part by their morality (or vice versa) and, so, it is in the country's best interest if our elected officials are at minimum morally above reproach.

Another issue is what "secrets" or other information can a whore gather while dorking someone of official status? They don't have to talk in their sleep, they might leave their wallet lying around or maybe the whore takes them to a bugged room.

I also do not want them spending my tax money for their sexcapades outside of their marriage. If they want to rent the "medieval room" at the local Super 8 and get all knights of the round table do Guinivere with their wife or husband, have at it: Kinky, but I have no reservations what they do with their wives (well, within reason). But someone for whom I vote must at minimum be above moral reproach.

I'll wager that allot of these elected officials really let you down more often than not.

You know what they say, Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.

I guess I didn't realize that Menendez was presidential 'timber' in the democratic Party...

Of course he is... this sort of thing is "resume' enhancement" for a Democrat

Yeah, they'll probably give him a medal and Chairmanship of the budget committee.

It might not mean anything. Maybe he just has a "wide stance".

As in the case you refer to, then as a Republican, he'd be hounded out of office.

Well, he's not married, and prostitution is legal in DR, so he didn't do anything wrong, did he?

Is sex with a minor legal there?

You must see that they are 'comparing' him to Foley and Craig to name just a couple...Just sayin'...Heh heh...Comparing a single horny guy, who I am sure is not using taxpayer money, to 2 anti-gay Repugs...It is pretty funny when you think about it...I don't recall Menendez being anti-prostitute...I do recall that Foley was head of the anti-child molestation team though...Not sure about what Craig ever did, but the foot-tapping at the airport here was quite hilarious...

Hmmmm...I don't know...Do you have some amazing revelation that he had sex with a minor?...Heh heh...Don't bother to answer...Because you weren't there, and just have to cast dispersions...All good...Knock yourself out...Hmmm...Because of your 'name', and based on some of the ridiculous things you post, I suspect you are homebound (for which I am sorry), or just an amazingly 'repugs can do no wrong' kind of person...Wow...
