[QUOTE=GhettoDogAllStars;464135]I guess I'm in the minority here, because I actually *do* care if a politician cheats on his wife. It is a sign of weak character, and if you're concerned with lobbyists influencing the government, then you better damn sure be concerned about a politician's character. To me, there is nothing more important about a person than their character -- be it a politician, trash collector, or otherwise.[/QUOTE]

I'm with you on this one Dog! If a politician is going to lie to his wife, what lies will he/she tell to the country?

I always live by this saying: You can't get gold from crap!

[quote=GhettoDogAllStars;464170]So, you justify immoral actions based on the good of the country? Do you also justify immoral actions based on what's best for you? Machiavellianism at its worst... Sigh.[/quote]
You need to re-read my post as I did not say one thing about not using morals when making decisions. Maybe I did not understand your post which I was responding to.
