The Public Cares If a Candidate Cheats [INFOGRAPHIC]

Obviously the Right doesn't care since Newt leads in most polls...

Of course most Dems. don't either put at least don't preach "family values" like the GOP does...

Well Mitt Romney doesn't cheat on his wife of about 45 years. His five upstanding young men; never any drug use, or criminal record; they are all whoelsome living. Larry King could not get over that fact, but look, our voters have a 'problem' with his religion. They would rather have a cheater! Go figure. what does that say about MOST people? Hypocrites.

I agree..

Putting aside the moral issue, politicians who cheat on their spouses are liars with bad character who would not hesitate to cheat and lie to the American people.

And those who don't are tireless defenders of virtue?

Yes. You just have to know WHO to vote for. Like Mitt.

I could count the tireless defenders of any kind of virtue seeking or holding national office in the US without taking off my pants, probably not even my shoes.

No, I could care less.

Weiner show his winner and had the values to resign Vetter hires hookers and be is in line for VP

Who can even know??? or do anything about it if it isn't already part of the program ? I mean Obama is illegally in... and what and who can change that. Then there is the patriot act 1 & 2 and this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?...

I know, it is a scary time for all people, esp. concerning Obama, another hitler.

Obama is another hitler? Obama hasn't killed +6 million people...

Why can't americans wake up? Patriot act 1 and 2 are nothing more than marshal law acts 1 & 2... then there is this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?...

You see here's the problem, you think that anyone else should care in the slightest how YOU think they should live. Not everyone is so remarkably stupid as to have missed the point that freedom of conscience comes from nobody being allowed determine morality for anyone else. Conservative nitwits LOVE to go on and on about values and morals and then start wars at the drop of a hat, cut money for the poor, hate on minorities, oppress gays, pollute like mad, and take a bottle of whiteout to the 1st amendment. I value a woman's right to religious autonomy no matter what someone else's imaginary friend in the sky says. I value equality for all people regardless of whether their sexual orientation is offensive to someone else's favorite book of fairy tales. I value the freedom of conscience that the founders decided was so central to american liberty that the very 1st amendment they wrote in the Bill of Rights protects it. I value my fellow human being enough that I think a social safety net for which I have been priviledged enough to never have a need is important and worthy of my tax dollars. I am the MOST LOYAL HUSBAND EVER. (I am crazy about my super awesome wife)

Your assumptions about me are wrong as every turn. You comprehension fail regarding why we keep morality the hell out of government is not only monumentally low IQ, it is also a threat to the crux of liberty in our society. You are VERY short sighted.

I answered "no" (I don't care) to this, but qualified the statement:

A candidate cheating on his or her partner is a personal matter, but when their behavior SURROUNDING their infidelity is illegal or unethical, then I care.

I don't care about Arnold's love child, but I do care about John Edwards because Edwards used campaign funds illegally to conceal his mistress and child from the public (and his wife).

I don't care about Clinton's blowjob from Lewinsky, because by all accounts she was enamored with him and he was not using her UNPAID internship as leverage. I DO care about Herman Cain using his position of power to trade desperate women employment for sexual favors.

Iagree, with you on all of your poimts, and examples.

I don't mind, not because the candidates are MALE like myself, but because it's Irrelevant, it has NOTHING to do with their stances on the ISSUES!--it's not REVEREND President or PASTOR President, we didn't elect a religious official!

You have NO understanding or life experience's do you? You don't have to be a REV. to expect some morals; and I see you have none.

I do, It's just IRRELEVANT, the only reason it IS is because of dirty political strategy, It's just as Irrelevant as a Candidates RELIGION as well, go tell it to the choir

Thats going to be Newts problem, bringing up what happened forty years ago and not letting it go. The Media has found a way to destroy any conservative candidate with a past. So ask yourself, which is more important the best candidate or a candidate that meets the standards of todays Media. Obama met the standard, in fact he exceeded the standard. Its like Bachmans getting federal funds, keep bringing it up whittle away the support and guess what nother four for Obama. In fact if Newt does well in the first primary you know that the only thing that will be discussed in the newpapers and tv are his three divorces and cheating I suppose that is what brought on the divorces. So now decide, which do you prefer? A pres that can give his buddies billions of dollars, create new laws using regulations and executive orders, or someone that might bother to adhere to the constitution. Decide which is more important but dont wait too long. Time is runnig out. There is no perfect conservative candidate ask any liberal

Mitt Romney, but people DON'T want a moral, intelligent man, do that? They want glitz and a 'smooth' talking style of a CON ARTIST. Obama has NO STANDARDS, who told you that?

And, he is a grifter, con artist, with Chicago-style mofia instincts!

Here's a Christmas treat for Ron Paul / Constitution / Bill of rights, supporters. :D

I do care. yes

I sure care Fef. I ripped Bill Clinton to shreds for what he did. My ex-husband was a cheat so I take fidelity very seriously.

Are we trying to justify Newts behavior?

only if NEWT wears a PINK suit in support of Breast Cancer

How long ago was this? No one would EVER be forgiven or be able to live, if all of our mistakes followed us for the REST OF OUR LIVES. You worry about the splinter in Newts eye, when you have a log in yours.

Tell me you felt the same about Clinton? Be honest with us all.

"that's because cheating candidates are typically male".

Soda Head, do me a huge favor and stop falling into political fallacies. This is offensive and wrong at best. There is a large trend of women cheating as well. Back your words up with facts next time.

Soda head said nothing wrong, they even have the stats and it is true. Men cheat more then women. They didn't say women don't cheat. You need to READ everything they posted.

Read it, disagreed with it, and no they do not have the stats. Thanks for advancing a stereotype......

Well, I guess its better than blaming the country for his cheating ways......

Actually, it doesn't bother me if he cheats, however, the Media is the ones to watch out for. They don't know when to stop and move on from it........

There are more important things to report on then a man getting his d__K wet!!!!

The president is not some accountant. We have to trust him because we are putting him in the most powerful seat in the world (well, not as powerful as the CEO of Goldman Sachs). If his/her spouse can't trust him/her, how can we trust him/her?

My sentiments exactly. If they can't keep their marriage vows then how can we expect him to keep the oath of office?

Does playing around with MEN count, by Obama? Or marriage vows are ONLY broken is he has an affair with a woman?

You really need to get your news from more reputable sources cuz that rumor is a lie from the pit.
