Clinton had an affair and then committed perjury
McCain had an affair an then left his disabled wife
For the life of me I can't see why one matters more than the other....other than the hypocrisy of one side thinking it's okay in one instance and not in the other....if you want to play on the same level as those that tried to crucify Clinton then so be it...it's your prerogative...but just as hypocritical...two wrongs don't make a right...
and it also doesn't help to "change" what politics in Washington is about....

Fair enough. I honestly don't believe that marital fidelity should be an issue in politics.
I can see why one matters more than the other. And it has nothing to do with who shot semen on who.
If it was a question of John McCain cheating on his wife, I'd have laughed, brought up the one thousand or so Repubs who have feet of clay.
It's about power, and ambition, and what lengths you're willing to go to, attaining them.
Another question this year is going to be experience. Repubs are going to repeat over and over again, that Obama lacks experience. His political resume is not as long as McCain's.
But the first line of McCain's political resume should read, 'Ditched a crippled woman to marry Budweiser.'
If your 'infidelity' was your introduction to your political career, it seems significant. Outside of the physical action of sticking your penis into a vagina that doesn't belong to the person you're married to.
And being above the slimier aspects of current Washington politics, certainly HAS changed them. It's given us two terms of George Bush.
But that's a different debate, imo.
