Sex sells baby and you buy it
While the 24 news cycles must be fed like a Labrador at thanksgiving dinner maybe some one needs to step back a little and decide how they want it go down. It’s great to damn Clinton to hell for impropriety and to try and turn John McCain into Gary Hart but if it continues there wont be many people left. If you honestly think that your elected officials who stand in some of the most powerful positions in the land don’t indulge in the trappings of that power you are fooling yourself. The pious Christian right or the aggressive leftist who both blame and blame and blame, have very little legs to stand on if people want to dig deep and be far to arrogant as to throw all those stones.
The democrats and the New York Times are really going to burn themselves in they want to take on some high moral ground on McCain because I highly doubt that Obama’s book is the end all be all on his skeletons and we all know that you don’t have to dig to deep to uncover some Clinton relic.
People are flawed, now if there is any truth to McCain and certain political favors to lobbyist that may be a different story but his record would say something else and I would be highly disappointed if that did come to light for couple of reasons.
- If your going to be an effective president you should be able to at least cover up back room deals
- It would be a shame if we couldn’t at least trust a candidate’s main issue.
Like the rule to lay off of politicians kids we should lay off the personal lives, who cares if a senator is gay or like to have to have wee dinner parties with Barbie dolls. Some of the greatest minds are flawed by some f the extremist quirks, I personally would rather have those quirks than some hallow shell that looks the part.
