I'd prefer not to elect my representatives based on their sexual drive. When the seriousness of holding office is trumped by sexual prowess and poor behaviour, it's time to find someone better.
If we held officials to a higher standard of ethics (as they should) we wouldn't have the problems we have on the scale that we do.
And yet republican Scott Brown was elected to the senate even though he'd posed naked for Playgirl. It would be really hard to come up with a Litmus Test for a candidate's personal sex life and prowess. Where do you start? Where do you end with that vetting process? I really don't think there are any more scandals with our lawmakers today then there was 50 years ago. They just get caught easier now in our high tech world.

Sad is the lack of any indignation at all from the extreme left. It's almost like you cheer his actions, that lying is a good thing, and certainly ruining his marriage seems to matter not. Nothing like a pov that requires zero morality whatsoever. If this is progress you need a new PR firm.
The wheels are coming off the progressive agenda and this is just one more BUMP in the road for you guys.
Where are you hearing anyone on the left "cheering his actions"? I've certainly not heard any liberals doing that on TV, the net or with other liberals in my life. We're not condoning what he did. I think he was a damned fool for doing what he did. I'm disappointed and shocked by his behavior. But I also recognize that he is human with human failings just like all the rest of us. He will pay for his conduct, just going through the ethics hearing and the loss of respect he'll experience for years to come. But I don't feel the need to cut him up into little pieces and feed him to the fishes. "Let those without sin throw the first stone" and all. If that is what you call a "lack of indignation from the left" then I stand guilty as charged.

Are you intentionally trying to be obtuse? How is Scott Brown posing in Playgirl back in the 70's equivalent to Screech sending unsolicited nude pictures of his johnson at full mast? I's probably respect you more if you were completely transparent and said, "He has a (D) after his name, so he will forever get a free pass."
That's a stiff assertion. Are you sure it's a crime or are you just saying it is? If you think it is, what's the statute called?
Erection fraud, of course.
At least that's what it's called here in Japan.

Lemme ask you something, if he had done it the old fashioned way; long trench coat, shoes and black socks, would that be a crime?
