I think it'd be great if just ONCE a politician would enter the race and just say: "Yeah, I've had sex with a lot of different women. And yes, I've smoked pot a few times. And yes, I've been drunk a few times in my life too. But here are my ideas and what I want to do for the country"
I know that the pundits and media would proclaim that would never work...but I believe that a lot of middle class voters would empathize with that and be able to move past it and see what a person's actual ideas for the country are.
When you think about it, it is pretty damn dumb that we have all been fixated on his womanizing and horn dogging when the country is in deep shit economically, fighting "non-wars" all over the world, killing people as we speak with drones, and cutting backdoor deals with pharmaceutical companies, banks, etc.
If nothing else, it definitely proves that the media can play us all like a fiddle whenever they choose to.
I never thought that Clinton getting some pussy (constantly) affected his ability to be president (just like it didn't with JFK and probably almost every guy that's ever held the office that we never found out about their sex life).
I thought it was 100% dead ass wrong for the Republicans to impeach Clinton for doing what any guy with half a brain would do when asked if they cheated on their wife (lie like a motherfucker).
Same with Cain now. He should have risen or fallen on his ideas for the country. Not for his sex life. And not even for his lack of some kind of encyclopedic 24/7 knowledge of foreign policy either.
I've always thought that foreign policy is something a new president is brought up to speed on in his first few days in office when he is given top secret briefings and then begin to work within that framework.
I was more interested (and I think most Americans might be as well) in how to get the govt. to stop spending so much money and also some policies to get our economy back from the dead.
I could care less if a guy is a "grab ass" with the women or not.
I just think it would be kinda cool to have a politician tell the TRUTH and admit before anybody "discovers" anything about them. Just take the bullets out of the gun ahead of time.
