Hoity-toity, Mr. Sullivan? He seems to forget "dirty campaign tricks" like Jefferson being accused of having children with his slave - which is probably true, unless his brother or uncle fathered the children; "Ma, ma, where's my pa? Gone to the White House, ha ha ha." (Grover Cleveland); allegations that Rachel Jackson was still married to another man when she married Andrew Jackson, etc.
Who you have sex with, and how, is part of who you are. I suppose somewhere a human being exists who doesn't care whether the person running for a position of trust likes sex with little girls, or little boys, or Mafia mistresses, or the woman who drives his jeep, or his business partner's wife, or his slave, but most find it relevant to issues like character and integrity. Marriage is a vow, and how you treat vows matters. |
