Of course they have some other failing. So do you. But you view them as if they all have a debilitating failing and conclude we should reject them all out of hand.

So this idiot repeatedly asked permission of his wife to go to Argentina to visit his mistress.
Also, incredibly, he cites King David and Bathsheba as justification to remain as governor. |

I won't research as I don't care that much. Did he spend taxpayer dollars? If not, why care you?

No. Trust nobody and let them do little.

Ignorance to --> knowledge to --> a lot of knowledge to --> cynicism and paranoia to --> that cynicism distorting the previously gained knowledge and all newly acquired knowledge to --> ignorance and being uninformed It is possible for men to pass a threshold of cynicism -- even paranoia -- where what once counted as knowledge now only counts for deep cynicism -- a blinding cynicism to reality. I think you've crossed that threshold.

The guy had an affair in Argentina; he was lonely and was as emotionally bonded as he was sexually addicted to the mistress (see Daily Beast). Why is this occasion for debate on fate of the free world? You're all overwrought.
Waters, your big complaint seems to be that he's a supposed Born Again Christian, i.e., a hypocrit. Maybe then you should be a little more charitable.

My main complaint is that he lied to the public.
That he quotes the bible to describe his love to his mistress and justify remaining governor is merely the icing. |
