Ok if some one actually cares about who a candidate slept with they are..

[corporatewhore]

Y'all Know I really really really really really really dont like kerry or his voting record but come one who actually cares about who he has slept with do you see now what were were talking about when we say most people are like sheep? So for your poll question
Someone who actually gives a damn about the candidates love life is a:

[Walt Starr]

1. You left out the opne that applies to most Repugnants who care

"Pervert"

[Jacobin]

2. Please edit to add "voter" to your poll

I know it was a long time ago, but does anyone remember at a super bowl half time show a long time ago, some bimbo momentarily displayed a partially covered baby bottle and there was nearly a revolution in this country....I mean like, immediate congressional investigations and shit?

I sorta remember that.

Half this country is so sexually repressed and weirded out, that they can't handle the thought of someone having sex, or seeing a body part.
Unbelievable? Oh yeah.
True? Yeah to that too

[redqueen]

4. Compromise?

How about 'stupid idiot voter'?

[stickdog]

3. Republican.

or Repuke-leaning.

Please note that it's Kerry's supposedly stellar war hero biography that ATTRACTED so many voters to him in the first place.

[corporatewhore]

8. see pervert ;)

[JVS]

5. Were we not all abuzz here about who Ahnuld slept with?

A tree is known by it's fruit. The integrity of someone who cheats is to be questioned.

[Lindacooks]

9. The difference is

Repukes are always trying to butt their noses into other people's business and trying to legislate morality. Democrats think privacy is essential to a democracy. Repuke cheaters are total hypocrites.

How many people has President Clinton condemned for cheating? NONE. Compare that to Newt Gingrinch, for instance (deliberate misspelling) who was doing the same damn thing - even worse, leaving his wife while she was undergoing chemotherapy.

And while the Repukes were foaming at the mouth over President Clinton's infidelity, they said NOTHING about Schwarzenneger.

The difference is in the hypocrisy.

[JVS]

18. Wrong

Schwarzenegger wasn't cheating. He was just into kinky stuff, but not yet married. Both sides screw up and both sides deserve to be called on it. It is a matter of integrity.

[leyton]

22. So if they're hypocritical, we can be hypocritical too?

America is just great.

[cheezus]

6. Why do people think infidelity DOESN'T matter

It's part of character. It certainly says something about trustworthyness. Obviously it's not the most important issue, but you can't ignore it.

[LearnedHand]

15. It DOESN'T matter...

...when the issue is who slept with whom. It's none of my -- or your -- business and has less than nothing to do with how leaders run this country.

Sheesh. The way people act about sex and nudity embarrasses the hell out of me.:freak:

[JVS]

19. It is our business when a politician shows a lack of integrity

When one is married they usually have entered an agreement for monogamy. Seeing someone break that agreement raises questions as to their ability to keep other agreements.

[BidMarx]

7. ...Equal to someone who cares about Dean's YEAAAAARGH

Perception is everything, and yes, the masses will care. They have been trained to care. They were encouraged to care when Dean acted up, by some Kerry fans, and they are even more inclined and primmed to care now.


We may be above the fray. We are not America. Lets not be dellusional.

[auntpattywatty]

10. VOTER

[HereSince1628]

11. Actually, there are a lot of people who do care.

Many people who teach have clauses in their contract which terminate their employment for sexual adventurism. Having spent my adult life in such an environment I 1) hold the high and mighty to the same standards I am held to, and 2) I expect my colleagues and politicians to frequently fail to meet that standard.

I am still far too far uninformed to be making any judgments about anyone accused or anyone accusing. But I am too old to cover my ears and sing la-la-la's until it passes over.

[corporatewhore]

12. I understand that i just think its silly there are much more important

things to base the selection of a canidate on i personally think people shold care more about his record (which i dont like) rather than his love life

[enki23]

13. of course it matters

who you fuck says something about you. like "i'm heterosexual" or "i'm gay" for starters. if, for instance, a candidate turned out to have slept with rush limbaugh as a young man, i'd hope (after we were all finished making retching noises) we'd drum him out of the primaries, if not the country. same goes for ms coulter, only double. i could more easily forgive sleeping with rushbo than that, i think. maybe if enough drink were available, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference, except by the sort of injuries you sustained (blunt trauma, or lacerations?) or maybe i'm just rambling. i dunno.

[progressivebydesign]

14. The poll is a joke.. yes?

Because there are people who care about those issues. They're out there.. and they vote. I thought Bill Clinton was an amazing President. Did I think less of him after the Lewinsky thing? Oh yeah. Did it erase the good feelings I had for him for all he did as a President and world leader? No.

It's one thing for a President that already has a track record in the job, (a really good one), and a candidate who is facing scrutiny and is in a field of other equally worthy candidates. I don't like this story about Kerry.. I don't like it because it's damaging to our momentum. I don't like that Kerry has not come forward today to totally and completely dennounce the allegation. Who knows at this point what the truth is? I do know that it is being investigated and followed up on by the media. I know that even though it's run it's course here on DU, it's alive and well all over the internet right now.

I want Bush out of office in the next election. All this talk of "electability".. see what a sham that was? Any of the candidates can become vulnerable regardless of their guilt or innoncence.. ANY of them. Voting for electability, as I've saying repeatedly for weeks, is wrong. There is no such thing... vote with your heart. That's the only way to fight Bush. If this thing gets legs, those that voted for Kerry, over their first choice because of electability, will be feeling as though they were slugged in the stomach.. and learned a valuable lesson about trying to predict the outcome of an election.

[Donkey007]

16. The same people that tried to catch Clinton the whole time

he was in office. Got a motive and too much time to spare. Or just getting paid a ton to be a digger.

[Spider Jerusalem]

17. You forgot "mush-brained cretin". (n/t)

[SadEagle]

20. I think the poll is more interesting...

... if one considers what your DU name is referring to ;-)

[MoonRiver]

21. Wanted to combine stupid idiot with pervert. Hard call that one.

Settled on stupid idiot cause that pretty much describes their braincell functioning level.
