If she is going to let something like that go without recourse, what else will she let go? I am not against a woman president, I am just against HER! Where are her family values? If she left him, I would think about voting for her..... but what does that tell our kids when the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES cheats on his wife, but it is ok. And I get letters sent home from my kids school telling me that they are overwieght, underwieght, need to see a dentist or a doctor? Let's get the government out of our life, and get our life into the government!
PS, Boycott Hersheys!

At first, i saw your question and was outraged on why what HE did affected her. But, you bring a good point. She allows him to cheat on her. Which mean, she could allow other things in office to happen as well. Your personal life can dictate your work-life. Interesting point.

I used to like Hillary, and thought that it was a matter of forgiveness. I can understand that. However, I think those of you who mentioned that she has looked at it from a more political angle are right. Her recent wishy-washy stances, phony accents, and reluctant answers tell me that she is playing political chess... and she needs her husband as a pawn to get elected.
Now, taking into account that many people would be voting for her just because she's Bill's husband, could be a big issue here for morality. He should have been impeached. If I had sex on the job I'd be in the unemployment line. Therefore, it's almost like having Bill back in power, who wasn't a very good president, morally or even overall.

Psst! Have you ever checked out how many men cheat on their wives? Whatever they tell you, the percentage is still higher. If every wife left a cheating husband, the divorce lawyers would own the world. Also so many presidents have cheated on their wives and it's pretty much common knowledge, they just didn't have people try to impeach them. I though that social morays dictated that you don't ask a man if he cheats on his wife in front of his wife. What's he supposed to say? Regardless of any of this, I wouldn't vote for Hilary. I think many of the Clinton's escapades prove that she is not the type of woman I would want as president. Why she is a senator is beyond me.

If you want to talk about cheats, what about the likes of Giuliani, McCain and Romney... all social liberals, except when they're out campaigning in the "red states". Then they flip-flop and go against everything they supported and voted for (same sex civil unions, gun control, abortion, etc.)! Can you really count on them? And by the way, the federal government has vastly expanded under Bush, so much that even fiscal conservatives in the GOP are running away from his record.

Maybe her family values lie in believing in her marriage vows. Maybe her family values drove her to do the unbelievably hard work it takes to save a marriage over infidelity rather than being a wimp and just calling a divorce attorney. Most of us know a couple that has suffered infidelity and I know that more people admire couples that work to save their marriage rather than throwing in the towel.
I don't know that you are a conservative, and I won't assume you are. But in general, I am always amazed at those conservatives that complain about this. If it doesn't have to do with Hillary and Bill they are all about thinking divorces have skyrocketed because people won't do the work to save their marriages and whining about how people think marriage is disposable. But when it's Hillary and Bill? Oh that witch should have divorced his butt. Can you say hypocritical?

She dealt with her husband. And it takes much more strength and courage to stick with a marriage after something like that happens than it does to just give up on it and call it quits.
She is a very smart politician. And if she had gone and divorced her husband she would not have had near the chance of being able to possibly win the presidency. She gained a lot respect by staying with the president. Also, by keeping him she kept a strong political backer for her presidential campaign.
She is very knowledgable and anyone who underestimates her that runs against her is bound to get beat.
What Bill Clinton did was morally wrong, but not nearly as wrong as George Bush has done. Having the NSA wiretap the American public is against federal law. Wiretaps in the US fall under the jurisdiction of the FBI and then they were only allowed to do it with a court warrant. Bush not only allowed the wrong agency to do the job but bypassed the court system altogether. Then his administration leaked Valerie Plame's identity, another broken federal law. They help solicit federal and corporate funds to the state of Texas campaigns through Delay, a violation of Texas law. They held Americans and other prisoners without trial and tortured them, which is against US law and international law and the Geneva Convention. Then the firing of the federal prosecuters leads right back to Cheney and the White House.
When the White House releases White House documents and only one page out of like 100 is not blacked out due to "national security" then something very bad is being hidden.
I'd much rather have Clinton who committed adultery than a president who has broke tons of federal laws, gotten thousands of our troops killed, botched the Katrina response, turned our allies against us, basically restarted the Cold War, allowed crimes nationwide to rise by about 10% per year, violated federal, international and state laws, reduced our freedoms, wiretaps our phones, records all the library books we check out, oversaw a much worse economy where college students waiting 6 months or more to find a job went up over 260%, allowed gas prices to double since the Clinton Administration, cut our troops health care, and has increased the nations debt by more than all of the rest of the presidents COMBINED...need I go on?
When ultra conservatives like Buchanan and Gingrich bash Bush you know he's doing a really really really bad job.

Why not - it was Bill who cheated on thier marriage - not her!
Would you vote for Rudy when he has 2 divorces under his belt?
How about Fred Thompson who left his wife and children for a 20-something plaything?
How about Newt? He is not running (yet) but he was having his own affair at the very same time he was hounding Clinton about his.
I think the question is more than a bit hypocritical1

Why don't you stuff your family values up your holier-than-thou @$$!
Lets get the government out of our lives and then tell everyone else how they should live theirs! Why don't you mind your own business and let her and her husband deal with the infidelity in their own way. What does that say to your kids, I don't know. Maybe people make mistakes and that forgiveness isn't such a bad thing.

Why vote for her PERIOD? She's just riding the coattails of her hubby. She's wishy-washy on her stance. And I know I'll catch a lot of hell for this one, but...
AMERICA IS NOT READY FOR A WOMAN TO BE PRESIDENT.
Personally, I'm a little disturbed by the possibility that we could end up with one.
