What is up with politicians?

What is up with politicians?

So my former governor gets busted for involvement in a ring and is forced to resign, and now the lt. governor beign sworn in is the first blind, black governor of any state. No red flags there, so far.

So why does he feel the need to discuss the extramarital affairs that both he and his wife had twenty years ago?

I've had this discussion with TXBitch and RealThing before, who are both big proponents of monogamy and fidelity, yet all I see around me are miserable people in miserable relationships! With six billion people on the planet, is it really possible to maintain fidelity? And why is it so important to some people and obviously irrelevant to others?

TX would argue that it's a byproduct of our disposable culture where nothing is worth anything if its not shiny and new. That's a good point and difficult to refute. Yet I don't think that it's the cause so much as the effect. Here's my question:

If it's ok to marry then divorce someone in our country, remarry someone else and divorce him/her, and finally just shack up with another person who winds up cheating on you, why is it not okay to have multiple relationships? If you can love someone with all your heart does this mean that other people in your life are being emotionally shortchanged?

Or (and I hate to sound cynical) is it because marriage really is a civil contract first and foremost set up to ensure that a man isn't raising someone else's offspring and protect a woman from getting STDs from her philandering mate?

Comments, anyone?

 Hey Canice,
Cheating is a choice. Life will always hand you what you think are opportunities. It is for you to search your own soul to find what makes you happy. The old saying of the grass is always greener on the other side is not necessarily so. I think love is only as hard as we make it. I have been in relationships and have been confronted with those opportunities you speak of and I thought about what I had to lose and there was no question. I chose not to cheat. I was happy that I made that decision. Good luck!!!!

Interesting! Glad to hear from an objective party (as you can see from the above blogs, Tex and I have very different ideas about successful relationships.)

Thanks for stopping by!
