Ted, I think the point Z was making is that its Hillary's and Bill's business and no one else's.

Still doesn't invalidate my point. The vast majority of Americans do care about a president's private life, because it reflects upon his trustworthiness when it comes to holding the highest office in the free world. Some of those Americans may not admit it, and some will try to distract from the issue, but in the end, it still matters.


If trustworthiness is conditioned by fidelity, then almost every president, certainly the most popular ones, were untrustworthy. And currently we have a president that by all accounts is very loyal to his partner and many people don't trust him. So whether Americans view it that way or not, there is not necessarily a correlation.

Besides, because people are in the public eye does not mean you have a right to know or to judge what they do in bed. There is a point where Americans take this public thing a little too far.

the left is concerned with Bush's religious beliefs, but DO NOT question a democrat's sexual orientation!
