Default Which is worse?

I was thinking about this today, Edwards had an affair and then he stayed with his wife. Bill Clinton had an affair and then he stayed with his wife.

Newt Gingrich had an affair and left his wife for the other woman. John McCain had an affair and then left his wife for the other woman. Rudy Giuliani had an affair and left his wife for the other woman.

Are they better for making up with and staying with their wives after cheating, or when they leave their wives for the mistress?

if hillary or elizabeth kicked 'em both to the curb, I wouldn't be mad.
There is a biological basis for cheating. nature values the one egg over millions of sperm. It's competition at its' extreme. relief from over production sometimes outweighs common sense. It's gotta come out, and ofttimes, it doesn't matter where

Viola, pathetic, truly pathetic.

There is no "worse" when it comes to infidelity, as it demonstrates a complete lack of conviction, dedication, and honor on the part of the person doing the cheating.

When you get married, or even date somebody monogomously, you promise them that you will love (physically and emotionally) then and only them in the way that a man can love a woman and vice versa. When you break that promise, you have demonstrated that promises from you mean nothing, and that you have no honor. Now, I was raised to believe that a person's word is their bond, and that when you say you will do something.....you do it, not a difficult concept to grasp. Further, if you promise your WIFE that you will be devoted only to her for the REST OF YOUR LIFE, and you sleep with another woman, you have demonstrated a lack of conviction and no sense of dedication.

It is IRRELEVANT whether or not a cheating husband stays with his wife or not (personally, I find women who retain their cheating spouses to be devoid of any real sense of self-worth), as the very act of infidelity renders the perpetrator devoid of any honor, trustworthiness, or any other redeemable qualities that would befit a public servant. Your attempt to downplay the affairs of slimeball, low-life Democrats by comparing them to slimeball, low-life Republicans is DISGUSTING and I would appreciate it if you would apologize to the board for implying that somehow, cheating can be "more" tolerable in certain situations (especially when the men come from your own party).

Personally, I'd like to see impeachment articles for any confirmed infidelity on the part of our elected officials. Divorce is tragic, but acceptable. If however a man cannot be trusted to keep the most sacred of promises to his own wife, how can he POSSIBLY be trusted with public administration? Infidelity is execusable, and should not in any way be downplayed, as you have attempted to do here. Shame on you and your red/blue bull****. I guess when you're a mark for "x" party, they can do no wrong, and morality goes out the window in light of anything that could potentially damage your affiliate party. You're disgraceful.

I wonder why the women stay with a husband that has been unfaithful. Why would the woman stay? Maybe because they like the spotlight?

The wives are just as bad as the husbands, and it looks like party line has nothing to do with it.

It's better if they don't cheat at all. There is never any excuse for marital infidelity. As for politicians, if you can't be trusted to be faithful to your spouse then how can you be trusted to be faithful to your country?

However, if the betrayed spouse (the one on whom the other cheated) is willing to forgive the betraying spouse and the couple is willing to work to overcome the damage caused, then that is certainly better than just casting the marriage aside.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

It depends on how hot the mistress is.

You figure the President would sneak off every Tuesday night and go lead Canada in a seedy motel room?

"So I passed a little Canadian legislation! It meant nothing!"

(I find our national obsession with splashing private matters all over the media very distasteful. Of course I don't condone it, but marital infidelity has absolutely nothing to do with one's ability to perform a job....it's none of anyone's business, and if you really think most of our leaders don't do it...?.)
