I''m one of those that does not care what a person does in his-her private life. As long as they do the job that they were elected to do. That''s all that matters to me.

Well thank god someone is finally talking about the real issues in this presidential contest.

I am so sick of hearing these clowns bleating out their plans to fix Social Security, pay down the national debt, their ideas on curbing job losses to outsourcing and their plans to increase border security.

What is it with Katie Couric is she for real or what? Please get her away from the television, she hurts every woman who has a real brain, and will probably hurt these women from being noticed. What is her salary again? Wonder why she asked this particular question, every one knows how she feels about Hillary, and it is a stab against her. Once again Her husband was guilty of infidelity, she didn''t fool with Monica, and she shouldn''t be held responsible for his actions.

Republicans: 2.85 WPC
Democrats: 1.1 WPC

How is the party of "Family Values" winning the Wives Per Candidate (WPC) race?

Everyone is entitled to privacy in their lives unless its suspected they are breaking laws as in the case of child porn or child s.e.x. Morality is in the spiritual domain and their God joins 2 together, not man, people have to answer to their God for their moral sins. However once a person exposes themselves in the public domain and the public is witness to their immorality then the person is fair game, especially if the person is a public servant and the public is entitled to their opinions and judgments, the proverbial court of public opinion! But even still, to invade ones privacy, illegally obtain private information, to seek it out, to invade ones privacy without permission is a sick form of perversion, especially when its done for profit. God joins people together not man, people have to answer to their God, no matter how elaborate the religious outfit, no matter how big the Church, no matter how fancy the religious title, man is NOT God.

I''m confused by the question.

Shouldn''t candidates be asked about their position on secret prisons, the indefinite incarceration of American and foreign citizens without charge or representation, and their torture and murder?

Or at least any question that has to do with the Constitution that our Democratic Republic was founded upon?

Who cares about their fidelity? That''s a personal issue.

No wonder someone who can''t even speak in coherent citizens is president.

You pay this woman 15 mil to read the news and she asks A-Rod if baseball players make too much. Then this garbage. No wonder CBS News is the lowest rated in history.

Sounds like you are following in your Dad''''s footsteps.

Posted by mcv57 at 01:03 AM : Dec 20, 2007

I would be immensely proud to be half the man my father was and to be just half as loved. When he died there were more then 100 cars in his funeral procession. He was a man who stood above many others, simply by being himself and being true to the person he was. He lived a lot of life in his 63 years. A lot of life indeed.

Yes, the road to heaven is very narrow especially for those who live by the flesh. I never did trust the Catholic Church, too much hypocracy.

He was a loved and respected man who had a lust for life and all around him understood that.

Ah, a backslider. You are the seed that was choked by torns.

So be it, I would never trust a creature like you.

Posted by mcv57 at 12:58 AM : Dec 20, 2007

Of course not. Today''s "Christians" preach only to the choir.

RAmen!

I would recommend that you go to church and receive some moral instruction (if you can find a uncorrupted one); otherwise, read the Bible.

Posted by mcv57 at 12:54 AM : Dec 20, 2007

Been there, done that. I''m an atheist and much happier then when I was a christian. Thanks anyway.

I believed John F. Kennedy knew he screwed-up (adultery), and he made his last effort to protecting the U.S. Constitution; then, he walked into the valley of death (knowing it was death for him).

Posted by mcv57 at 12:38 AM : Dec 20, 2007

Kennedy was a man who had a lust for life (and yes to those who don''t know that was a phrase before the cruise line song). He was a man of huge appetites as my father used to say. Dad understood because he was the same type and I inherited some of that from him. Some of us were born more hunger then others and needed more to feed our appetites then many. That''s fine, because it''s not really a reflection on the person you are. My father was married 4 times, yet all four of his ex-wives loved him until the day he died and all held each others hands in the front pew of the church at his funerals. He was a loved and respected man who had a lust for life and all around him understood that.

cheat on your spouse when it comes to what kind of leader you are. It''''s a moot point.

Posted by SgtRDS at 12:14 AM : Dec 20, 2007

How say, moot. I believe it does reflect on character. If you are a ***, you are a ***********. To say that morals is not a qualification for a man of office is plain stupid. Such wickedness has brought down nations.

I never did like FDR, but Kennedy was an exception. I believed John F. Kennedy knew he screwed-up (adultery), and he made his last effort to protecting the U.S. Constitution; then, he walked into the valley of death (knowing it was death for him).

If so one asked who I would vote for: Two past Presidents (Lincoln and Kennedy). Yes, they are dead. That is just it . . . no one. I say abolish the Presidentancy position until the corruption can be cleaned-up (whenever that will be).

I am still amazed that the media doesn''t interview all pres. canidates. The funny thing is the ones that get all of the air-time are CFR members or are trying to become a CFR member. I guess these people are not the ones to ask about infidelity. They sell themselves and the American people for power while perverting the Constitution. Well-if you ride for the brand you are going to do what the ranch owner(Rockefeller/Rothchilds) wants.......

PS In defense of people who come from families with a mom and dad who are still married and fully committed without any infidelity, I''m not sure the people who stand in judgment of others are really from that type of home. Like most people I know that come from a ''nuclear'' family are very grateful for their good fortune. Because even ''nuclear'' families have their share of stressors and setbacks - like I have ADHD, and so my parents had to raise a kid with ADHD . . . that was no walk in the park. Just on the street I was raised alone there were bankruptcies, one girl who died of lukemia, another who died of pneumonia, a boy who lost his site to type 1 diabetes who had a dad who had 4 heart attacks and frequent layoffs. Like stuff happens to everybody - everybody''s got stress, some because of relationships some because of other stuff that is sometimes because of choices we''ve made and sometimes just because of circumstances outside our control.

Like just look at John Edwards (son died in car crash, wife has non-curable cancer), Romney (wife has multiple sclerosis), Huckabee (sons are morbidly obese - like Biggest Loser size overweight) . . .
