Is anyone else SICK TO DEATH of listening to politicians apologize for cheating on their wives?

[Happyhippychick]

How fucking difficult is it to stay faithful to your partner or GET A DIVORCE and fuck whomever you want? And it's not just the wives, it's the kids who suffer from having their family humiliated on a public stage.

/rant off.

[amitten]

1. No shit. Man up, assholes. Either fish or cut bait. n/t

[Moondog]

2. Yes.

It seems that a lot of politicians want to have their cake, and eat it too.

[DainBramaged]

15. I think Sanford has been eating more than cake......

[Moondog]

18. Bad-a-bing

[DainBramaged]

22. I love the instant rimshot, the best

:hi:

[redqueen]

23. Ain't just politicians.

They're just one of the groups that goes through it in public.

[Moondog]

26. True.

[el_bryanto]

3. It does get old after a while

Don't they realize they are in a fishbowl?

Of course it's worse when they are also preaching to us about how we should live as so many are (mostly Republicans, ironically enough).

4. I don't really care what they do in their personal lives.

I don't want to hear about it. If it affects their ability to do their job (see Sanford, etc.), then it might be relevant, but only to that extent.

[Dappleganger]

7. It doesn't matter to me

as long as they quit preaching their 'family values' sermons and 'defending the sanctity of marriage.'

Give me a fucking break.

[redqueen]

24. Amen.

They need to cut that sanctity of marraige BS out. It's a fucking joke to anyone who's not a brain-dead zombie.

[rvablue]

20. I do. As long as they continue to believe they can stick their nose in mine and everyone else's.

[supernova]

5. Massive ego and thinking they can have it all

they don't have to be failthful to anyone, least of all their "wife."

Ugh. Spare me being in a relationship with any of these wackos.

[flakey_foont]

6. there is plenty wrong with his actions

but, like you, I feel worse for his innocent kids....
it is just utter raw selfishness to not give a thought about how these acts affect his kids..Those are the ones to whom he should get down on his knees and beg their forgiveness

that is reprehensible!!

[frebrd]

8. I'm sure SICK TO DEATH of hearing about it!

Other than that, I couldn't care less.

[EFerrari]

9. The whole family gets shamed so the @sshole can have one minute

of expiation. That's probably worse than the original trauma. Nobody is really thinking of the kids. It's horrible, agreed.

[Laelth]

10. It appears we are not a naturally monogamous species.

For better or for worse, that's what it appears. To make us all universally monogamous, we'd have to be a different species.

Personally, I love hearing Republicans apologize for their many failings. They have so many, and they apologize so seldom.

:dem:

11. the problem is that there are men who think that they can do whatever they want.

they want to have their cake and eat it to. personally, i think guys like that have no respect for women. sure, there are things that happen in relationships where people may not be getting what they need from their spouse or partner... but some of them it seems think there are different standards for them or something. i don't know.

[Buzz Clik]

12. It's worse than that. These guys are like cockroaches -- for each one that gets caught, ...

... there are ten that haven't been caught yet.

[butterfly77]

13. I know he was...

making me angry as he tried to use religion as he making his so called apology, as though he didn't know what he was doing when he did it.

[panader0]

14. I feel very sorry for his sons, most of all

His wife is an adult, I think she can handle it, and has known about it for 5 months, but his sons, that's gotta be rough for them. My ex left me when my kids were 3,3 and 4. I know it hurt them.

[WhiteTara]

16. especially after they tell everyone

else how to live!

[MichiganVote]

17. Its shabby. They look cheap and we look cheap right along with them. Get A Divorce.

[marlakay]

19. We need to stop the political suicide if they divorce

on both sides. That is why this happens. They know to divorce is suicide politically so they stay in bad marriages and the wives stay because they like the life style and just put up with it or husbands buy them off.

We need divorce to be okay...why is it we think our leaders are suppose to be better than us? we think they can lead even more stressful lives but not have marriage problems separated from each other for months at a time. Many wives don't live in DC with husbands.

Either that or all our leaders should be single so they can focus on the issues at hand and screw who ever they want.

[redqueen]

21. I dunno... I'm sick of men doing it. It'd be kinda novel to see a female politician do it.

Has that happened?

[JVS]

25. I promise that if I am elected and revealed to be unfaithful, I will be completely unapologetic.

[proteus_lives]

27. It is annoying.

I don't get why people cheat in the first place. It's so low.

[TreasonousBastard]

28. Apologizing is for losers. Ya did it, it's over...

everyone deal with it.

If you're a big and stupid enough shit to do it in the first case, and then get caught on top of that, no apology can possibly work-- just take your lumps.

(I didn't notice this when I started my thread on the same theme, sorta.)

[reflection]

29. Very sick of it. Seems like it happens once a week now. n/t

[anneboleyn]

30. Yes, they all say the same sh*t, over and over. But it doesn't stop them.

[LostInAnomie]

31. Personally, I could listen to Republicans do it every day.
