When you make the decision to put yourself on the public stage, you sacrifice your right to privacy. Particularly when they are out their preaching on morality and not practicing what they preach.

The should have a right to private life, if they leave office and retire like Bush 1, did. But this is the only reason I can think of Sorry.

Well, the biggest reason is, they're people, just like everyone else, and have the same Constitutional rights. The only status that can be conferred upon someone to make them lose rights, is that of "convict".

As long as the government keeps passing laws that let them intrude into the citizen's lives, the politician's lives should be like an open book.
