Both sides of the divide are guilty of the crime. Remember what Dems did to Sarah Palin infact her daughter caused her the Vice Presidency.

ummm...do you seriously think McCain had any chance at winning the presidency? when hell freezes over. he had NO chance.

I have often wondered how the hell GW Bush's wife was able to pull it off.


Ever see the "Stepford Wives"? She's got the personality of a manikin. If she's not embarassed every day by shrub, she's simply blind or dumb or both.


Just curious, when did GW stand in front of the country and lie repeatadly for months, to the american people ?


He lied about the need to invade Iraq for years among other things. You're not serious, right?

Because they have no backbone, brains, and self respect.

You got that right.


because some PR people think the public is stupid


And of course they're right.


If women had a backbone, brains, and self respect they'd dump a cheater.
In your opinion.


And in the opinion of most people who can't stand liars and cheats.


Only a woman with no self respect stays and thus condones her husband's negative treatment of her and their children if they are any. If she stays she sets a poor example for their children, telling the children that cheating is acceptable.
Again, in your opinion... and completely off topic.

Refresher for you cupcake: This topic is Why Do Disgraced Politicians' Wives Stand by their Side?


Refresher for YOU cupcake. That was exactly on topic.

I would never ever get involved with a politician, for I personally do not appreciate or tolerate deception of the magnitude that is required of 95% of politicians.

I simply don't believe he fooled 435 members of congress , 15 foreign countries and their leaders,
The left would have you believe one man (that for 8 years i was told didn't have the i.q. to chew gum) was able to pull of the greatest conspiracies of all time .
If you believe Nancy Pelosi and her ilk, they had no clue what was going on (that alone should scare common sense folks) Then what are we paying them for ?
Geographically speaking, It's as easy to cross from Iraq to afghanistan, as it is for me to leave Colorado into Wyoming.
There were, ABSOLUTLY terrorist training facilities found (You know, those guy's that still want us dead ?)
Something like the fallacy of the war in Iraq coming to an end, it isn't.
In effect , were going to have to leave some troops there , indefinitely.

And now militarily speaking, we will move from an open area (more easily defended)
and move the battle to the extremely tough terrain of afghanistan, Presumably, fighting the same people. (The soviet union tried this for 12 years, and had their butt handed to them on a platter)

I know its blasphemy to say this , but you know what folks ? our trouble in the middle east isn't so much about oil............. I know, that's not what Katie Couric told you while you ate dinner, But here's a little secret. Those folks aren't going to be happy until the Israeli issue is resolved

Could be to make him suffer an horrible untimely death when least expected. LOL
and enjoy all the rations until that day.
Seriously wouldn't true love forgive? Although if "true" wouldn't have took you there in the first place. LOL

Not a chance in absolute hell.
It would be bad enough being betrayed... but to publically humiliate your wife and your family like that... its one of the lowest things a man can do.

Amen! And...it is fab to see you back!
Not that I am nor would ever be seriously involved (or married to) with a man who was into and/or aspired to politics , I would definitely let him know that putting it out into the community or elsewhere would be an automatic end to it all.

So are there any disgraced politicians wives out there that can actually offer an answer to this mind boggle?









Just thought I'd ask... Because if not this is nothing more then any of the other redundant "cheaters" threads. Doesn't matter how well you polish a turd, your still holding a turd! And everyone will call you the turd polisher and no one will want to shake your hand. Because you hold turds.

They stay for the money and the social status, probably why they married them in the first place.

To keep the job and... for the kids, I guess. It happens even with regular couples. The wife stays for various reasons and stands by her man.

Although conservatives lack a sense of leadership. They have a moral compass and strong family values at least compared to libs.




Don't even go there. My list far and away will surpass yours.

Because as the men in these women's lives have ambition by the boatload...so too do the women. They WANT/NEED to be part of 'history' and are not quite willing to let a little thing like infidelity to steer 'their' career into the dumpster.

It's not just politicians wives who stand by their husbands no matter what. All you have to do is look at all the 'my man's a gang-banger but I love him' posts or equivalent. Better yet, turn on the Jerry Springer Show.

It happens. Women and men have been sticking it out 'for better or worse' for a long, long time.

"Although conservatives lack a sense of leadership. They have a moral compass and strong family values at least compared to libs."

congratulations!! you just won non-sequitor of the month! here's your prize: PFFFFT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

here's the way it works: behind the scenes, there is a well-respected and very expensive PR consultant making very specific recommendations about the public facewad and sincere words of contrition that should put before the cameras and sound bite recorders. a.k.a. "damage control". but BEHIND the behind the scenes, there are probably sharp and/or heavy objects and lawyers being cast about the room in the general direction of somebody's head, lol!! oh but not if she's anything like Jackie-O or Ladybird, who are just willing to put up with that shit with a demure little mona lisa smile because hey, that's their station in life and they knew that going into the deal. IOW, they stay in the marriage because their motivations for doing so are completely different than yours would be. if you can't relate, then you can't relate.

oh and dubya's wife is not relevant to this discussion. because for all dubya's charm at least he knew how to keep it in his pants. but anyway, she was able to stay in the marriage because she's just like he is, but mousier.

to answer your question, you don't know what it is op, nor does anybody else, and there are no reliable signs to be discerned from these situations for your own personal edification. i don't know what i would do in a situation like that.... guess i'll just wait until it actually happens and then ask the POF forum posters for their advice.

Gang Banging? As in screwing more than 2 women at the same time? Now thats everymans fantasy. They wont admit it to their g/f though. Only to his homeboys.
what you're speaking for all men now? give your head a shake, I think youre 3 times zones behind your own ass. speak for yourself kid.

To be a politician you have to be 4% of the richest Americans and the modern knight or lord or duke or Ceasar.
where do you get your stats from? very few politicians come from a wealthy background

John F Kennedy and Bill Clinton.

John F Kennedy and Bill Clinton.

Maybe it's my age , But having gone through the kennedy admin. It was quite clear all bill was trying to do, was create JFK 2, the sequel , and we all know sequels are never as good as the original ,right down to the womanizing (one difference being, Monica didn't show up dead in the nude like Marylin Monroe)
While i really can't stand the guy, (or any other draft dodging coward) once you've heard Hillary going through one of her "screech fests" It's easy to see why ole slick willy just can't keep it zipped

How else are they going to step outside their 23 room mansion, (with their lower lip quivering, and just a hint of a tear in their eye) and proclaim "We care about the poor !"

Disgraced politician's wives stand because such women have no backbone, brains, and self respect.

Women as token tools?
I don't think so.

I don't know who said this, but did it ever occur that some/ most of these women already had a ton of brains and class...and all of the wealth they could ever need before they got with their figurehead husbands.
Politics....one of the shIttiest paying jobs anyone could have, you all know that. That's why they abuse the perks of the job. the pay...senators, governors..it's crap.

C'mon..lookat Theresa Hines...behind John Kerry.,(d. Mass.) .....she's got the money, balls and brains. My band and I played at their wedding on Nantucket Island. Lemme tell ya...she ran the show.....whew....from day ONE!
She's got bigger balls than any guy I know
John Kerry is a useless Herman Munster lookin' kinda tool....hahah

Hey, I live in the same town with South Carolina's governor's wife.....When good old boy S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford decided to go on a 'love' trip to South America with his young latino concubine, well sure, his wife is standing by him....till he finishes his term. That's just good politics,. It looks good that she is standing by him, but in reality, they live in separate towns...separate houses.....she had all the money before that shIt- head Sanford was even elected. Once he's stepped down, He'll be lucky to get a job as a 'greeter' up in Lowes of Orangeburg . Ummmm...she'll make sure of that.....LoL.!

Sanford's wife., Jenny..she's bright, articulate, and very strong. She'll be fine. She already is fine...never wasn't fine.....her soon to be ex husband/Governor...well, he'll be driving into a bridge abutment soon, anyway......thank God.

it's a game.
I'm not sayin' these politicians aren't' good at playing games
but, don't underestimate the integrity of the wives, they're not token wives...uh uh.

Very good post, Kimbo
I totally agree.
Just thinkin' about that thread of AA's about behind every successful man is a strong woman and some of these women have principles, spines and constitutions of steel. They see something through from start to finish. A job well-done and they can hold their head high.
I remember Margaret Trudeau when she was married to Pierre Trudeau our PM at the time. She became a media sensation when she decided to separate from him. Scandal after scandal ensued. Then she disappeared from the eyes of the country, with her head hung low.
Politics are to do with the business of the country. It is serious. Credibility is foremost. Hollywood's shallow ethics and antics do not belong there.

A job well done?
I see no reason whatsoever for someone to hold their head up high for, if they tolerate infidelity.

I find it entirely amusing how someone can spin something as disgusting as being betrayed and applaud someone for tolerating it. Maybe they should have a "doormat" trophy or something for the biggest loser who puts up with the most...

ha...that's true rick...Ted always loved the blonde stuff....used to come to Figawi weekend on Nantucket all the time...get fcukin' hammered and slip off to a cottage with a young blonde Bimbette. Never quite saw the draw,,,,,guess it's A 'Kennedy' thang. Well, I wouldn't trade my life for that family's curse, would you rick?


Jenny looks like a pissed off mona lisa.

True Tito....great statement , I like that...a lot......that smile, that mystery though...you can't tell what's comin, eh? I have a strong feeling, it's not gonna be a 'good thing'.

___________

Ahhh yeah, Belle, Margaret Trudeau was a rarity, a real human who wasn't concerned with the fall from grace...but more concerned with living an authentic life as Authentic Margaret...she is one of the stellar woman in the eyes of most males of my generation....Tis true...I kid not. She's a cut above.
