  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

affair he had during his term in office.

Would you vote for him?

Sounds like he did a good job.

I can't honestly imagine "admiring" the work of any politician.

That said, this is a what if.

I would vote or not vote for him dependent upon how well he did his job while in office. Extra-marital affairs would only enter into the equation if it was shown that he used his political power to coerce the other party into the relationship.

What would Jesus do? Hmm... Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's should sum it up.

No because if he lies about that to his wife and others I'm more than sure he lies about other things as well. If he can betray his wife, family and friends then I'm more than sure he will betray me sooner or later. I would definatly be able to forgive him but that doesn't mean I would be able to keep trusting and admireing him. To me, trusting in a politician is one of the most important things I consider when voting.

Although I will say that there is a difference between having an affair and having a one night stand. In this way, a one night stand is something I would think about as I can't tell you now what I would do.

In a way I would rather vote for someone who admits his own mistakes and failings rather than someone who relishes airing mistakes and failings made by others.
If they are caught red handed, with clear evidence, how can they not admitt it? When President Clinton was caught, it was after his lies of "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" was found to be a clear and outright lie. It was only after he knew he was caught red handed when he finally admitted it. I didn't admire him for finally admitting to his failings and mistakes. And he still to this day denys all of the other accusations from other women who claims they were sexually asaulted by him in one way or the other. Why, probably because he was not caught red handed with them.
