It just pisses me off endlessly about this stuff -- for the following reasons: 1.) Ultimately, it's NOT that politically important to me what the sex-life of consenting adult politicians is. Just like I don't care about my plumber, electrician, housekeeper, physician or auto-mechanic's sex life it -- as long as they do their job well, that's all I care about in my business relationship with them. Politicians'(and athletes & movie/TV stars) primary jobs are NOT that of a role model. It's NICE if they -- or anyone else -- IS a role model, but I don't think people should look there for that. If politicians pass good, helpful laws and acts, that’s all I expect from them.
2.) Politicians that try to make a BIG deal out of the sexual actions of their opponents are typically trying to distract attention from their lackluster qualifications or misdoings. "Forget about welfare for the needy or the Iraq War & all it's carnage - - I support the 'Defense of Marriage Act' " type of crap. The proportionality is all fucked-up.
3.) When politicians engage in #2 above -- BUT ARE ACTUALLY ENGAGING IN THE ACTS THEY SUPPOSEDLY ABHOR -- it just pushes the whole thing over the edge to the point of absurdity. I start blaming the American Sheeple and the SCLM who are ultimately the enablers of this line of crap...
