I believe this article stated his wife forgives him.

To forgive means that there was a wrong committed in the eyes of the person forgiving. If she did not care and it was acceptable there was no need to forgive.

I'd rather not be in a p1ssing match over semantics though, I understand your point to mean as long as he lies to his wife who doesn't mind his lies, you're okay with that and he makes a great leader for you.

If that's an incorrect assumption on my part, I have no idea why you would feel the need to respond as you did.

I like my leaders to not be liars where I can find them that way. It's far and few between, but it doesn't mean I can't at least look for a leader who has the politics I like, while also having a bit of character that doesn't involve lies.

It would appear lies are okay with you as long as you get the politics you want, I understand that something is better than nothing....but I think when we set the bar too low we get what we asked for. A government filled with corruption like the one we have in the Massachusetts state house where the position of speaker tends to end in indictment. I'd like to end that practice and have some speakers who end as honorable memories of decent men and women.

But I understand that's not important to you. Thanks for the heads up.
