2. I have to admit, the man is an example of morality. I love that. It's nice to see...
a married, self-proclaimed heterosexual male politician or preacher that isn't:

-Passing anti-gay legislation, then going to a park to find a male prostitute and get his sexual jollies.

-Pretending to be very religious, and visiting prostitutes to be diapered, fed a bottle, then wanked off.

-Preaching at a gigantic church, and having an adulterous relationship with a prominent female churchgoer.

-Allowing a fortune-seeking 20-something year old with a brain the size of a pea to be constantly pulling down her drawers in front of him.

ETC.

3. No really I don't who sleeps with whom.
I'd rather our president had less moral rectitude and more spine.

4. Sexual Harassment Is More About Power Than It Is About Sex
If a wealthy man just wanted sex he could call an escort.

6. The question was about a general moral rectitude.
but if we want to get specific re Cain: my problem with Cain goes far beyond his relationships with women in the workplace. That, in my opinion, is a typical media distraction, a diversion intended to avoid, throughout the election campaign, any meaningful discussion of the policy issues. What is important to me is what Cain is proposing to implement as policy, not his 'moral rectitude'.

19. No I don't care who sleeps with whom.
"Moral rectitude" is nonsense. I'd prefer a president who enjoyed sex with multiple partners but refused to sanction assassinations of citizens without due process over the 'perfect family man' who has no problem with murder.

5. Something about the word "rectitude" has always made me uncomfortable...
but I know what you mean - the president is a good man all the way through, and the first family is a breath of fresh air.

Kind of like titular, pedagogue, and niggardly.

13. I don't think Obama is a particularly good person.
IMHO, he is too comfortable with killing innocent people as "collateral damage," to cite just one moral failing.

14. I also take serious objection to the "morality" of
seeking to slash the safety nets and steal from the subsistence checks of millions of Americans who are already struggling to survive in the worst economy since the Great Depression...

...even while finalizing an unconscionable settlement that will let off the hook - for an insulting 25 billion dollars - the banks that crashed this economy and drove millions into poverty.

22. Obama
Kennedy,Clinton,Eisenhower,Ford,Carter.

Hell even Carter felt lust in his heart. :evilgrin:

Sorry, I don't think it's possible to be POTUS and be a "Model Of Moral Rectitude".

BTW What a creepy creepy term.
