Is anyone actually bothered about politicians social lives?

I find it really quite sad that the media are so obsessed with peoples personal lives, I think we all know someone who has gone through a divorce or seperation - who wants it splashed on the front page and who really wants to read about it on the front page?????????

Is anyone actually bothered about politicians social lives?
yes their charter is important, if they are selling drugs on the side. think should know. about marriage or divorce no.
Reply:I could care less about their personal lives EXCEPT that it reflects their character.
Reply:from what i understand, there are a lot of parties and yachts...
Reply:but why r u so sad about it?
Reply:Yes, I do think someone's personal lives have something to say about their character and if they will take their office seriously.

Reply:I don't think I could care any less! Don't care who smokes the Prez' White Owl, as long as he's competent. WGAS??





Lying about WMD and starting a war goes to defective character. Getting his weasel greased doesn't.
Reply:Actions not words are what define a person's character. Anybody can spin for the camera. The way they live their life is probably how they will act on your behalf as a representative of the people.
Reply:Not me. I couldn't care less.





I really care about what political action committees they are associated with.





I wish the press would spend more time revealing their stock holdings and who gave them cash.
Reply:Well politics is public office.





Public office unfortunately does go in analogy with public private life. You just cannot get away from it.





Personnaly, I find it a bit more indecent of having live coverage of a war then having a tabloid scandal on some jerk's 5 to 7 pantyhose party.





People all want to read about it in the front page, mainly if it is a politician, as most people have a grunge on some issue against their congressmen or whatsoever.





Thus, humiliation of a person in public office, is somewhat a manner for the common man, who has suffered by the stupid or merciless decisions of government on social or labor issues, to get even.





Simple.
Reply:I do not care what Politicians do in thier personal lives, as long as they leave my personal life alone. I have no say in what they do and who its with, thats their choice. Thats why I live in the united states but for them to say who I can and can't marry or weither I can smoke or not in MY home then they've crossed the line.
