Obviously, I'm referring to the party frontrunners here. The personal lives of both will have very little influence over my vote between the two if they are nominated; But I'm curious as to the thoughts of those whose votes it will influence.
I suspect I'll get mostly conservative trolling in response; But I'm curious enough to ask anyway...

Somebody want to look up a list of Reagan/Bush pardons so badkitty doesn't think the Clintons are the only ones who've pardoned people with bad things in their past? I'm too busy having a life to deal with the troll...

How about a party front-runner who has neither had an affair nor been forced to forgive one?
Mitt Romney's been married to the same woman for well over thirty years now, still dotes on his wife in fact, and each of their five grown sons are now married.
Does that say enough about his family values, at least?

Actually, I don't care about instances of adultery in a candidate's past unless that candidate is preaching about maintaining "family values," at which point I care about the hypocrisy.
But given the choice, forgiving adultery is more noble than committing it.

Family values. One person decided holding family together was more important than pride. The other person decided family wasn't important. Easy choice.

wow..are you also to busy to consider ALL the facts. if you think the "trolling" as you call it is about adultery against the liberal candidate, thats true, but definitely isnt ALL of it. without naming names, im unclear who your referring to but if your referring to rudy, i lived manhattan at 911 you probably read about it...i saw and interpreted the results as manhattan grew strong and prosperous....
this was the result i saw with clinton and the idea that somehow she" wasnt involved" or "didnt know" is pure horse caa caa.

Forgiving criminals is much worse. Especially when they are terrorists...
