Just saying, I love how character of a high school kid is important here.

Posted by Name Withheld By Request (aka BlueKopo) May 11 '12, 10:26

Mitt Romney was a douchebag when he was younger and it's a great character flaw. Clinton bangs interns while sitting as President and it's practically charming.

Society makes intersting choices at times.

(And for the record, I doubt I would vote for Romney myself. He's got more going against him than just whatever he did as a teenager.)

and last week we had to hear stories about president obama as a college kid. -- nm - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 10:38 9
- That's a dollar for the Both Sides Jar, Tru. -- nm - Roger More May 11, 10:39 8
  - meh. my point is is politics, of the rommeny sneezes during someone's speech, or the president farts while on tv, it will be news for a cycle or two -- nm - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 10:40 7
    - Um... there's a pretty big difference between a sneeze and a fart, DON'T YOU THINK??? -- nm - ST Hairsplitter Squad May 11, 10:52 6
      - there is kind of a difference in those things actually. -- nm - Mel Profit May 11, 11:06 4
        
        I know I'd rather be sneezed on. -- nm - Roger More May 11, 11:11 3
        
        Would you rather be farted on by Obama or sneezed on by Newt Gingrich? -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 11, 11:18 2
        
        Does Newt have a cold? or is it allergy related? or just dust? -- nm - Beaker May 11, 11:23 1
        
        Only dust, but he just finished eating a big meal of oysters and milk, -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 11, 11:29
      - depends, which party did which -- nm - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 10:58
What Clinton did wasn't charming, it's a definite character flaw. IMO he can sleep around as much as he likes, but with an intern who works for him - Roger More May 11, 10:37
I'm not sure you get the public mood on Clinton right either. Clinton was a successful president with morality issues - Will Hunting May 11, 10:36 4
- Maybe like my own views on what he did, the broader view is changing. *shrugging* -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 11, 10:39 3
  - Or, you just didn't get it right in the first place. - Will Hunting May 11, 10:47 2
    - Put another way... -- (link) - Dr.Vermin May 11, 11:07 [Image]
    - Oh, that's definitely not it. ;^) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 11, 10:50
No. - Mel Profit May 11, 10:32
...and? -- nm - znufrii May 11, 10:31 2
- No and. My "Just saying" was a legit "just adding two cents". I find it interesting how we apply character tests. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 11, 10:32 1
  - might be that there's a fairly big difference in the nature of the actions? -- nm - znufrii May 11, 10:35
All Ill say is if he really doesnt remember? Then he was clearly 100 times worse in HS and probably did stuff like this all the time. -- nm - Jovian May 11, 10:30 2
- Agreed, if he would have just owned up to it yesterday with a big Mea Culpa, it would have been done - amoxy May 11, 10:32 1
  - yup -- nm - Jovian May 11, 10:35
nailing willing adults is a different kettle of fish than picking on someone weaker than yourself. -- nm - Beaker May 11, 10:29 6
- Personally, I think there are parallels nailing an intern while you're the President. One person has power and gets what he wants, the other has none. - Roger More May 11, 10:44
- Some would argue that's exactly what Clinton did with Monica. - Name Withheld By Request May 11, 10:40 4
  - I can see that argument. - Mel Profit May 11, 10:44
  - Unbelievable. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 11, 10:44
  - [deleted]
  - fair enough -- nm - Beaker May 11, 10:43
Unlike Romney, Clinton is widely loved -- nm - con_carne May 11, 10:28 1
- ...if you know what I'm saying. -- nm - Dr.Vermin, [wink] May 11, 10:29
