>>Cheating on their wives and cheating the country are not the same thing.

>Maybe not, but when it comes to politics I don't think you can easily draw as clear a distinction as you could in sports or business.

Well, I don't really care much what athletes do (other than win for my teams and entertain me) and I really don't care someone in business does vis-a-vis his sex life.

>After all, you're in favor of bigger government that micromanages people's lives, aren't you?

I think we have very different definitions of "micromanage people's lives."

>That kind of puts much more of burden on government leaders to have the highest standards of character and professionalism, both within the office and without.

Eh. Not really. We have so few candidates for political office to choose from, I'm not wasting my vote or time caring what they do with their privates.
