Is It Our Business when politicians have affairs? Yes and No. Yes, because they are in a position of authority and are supposed to conduct themselves in & out of office. No, because as long as they are doing what they're supposed to do, what they do in their private life is not my concern. That depends on how important it is to know their integrity, morals, values, and honesty. It is difficult to manage/organize another person's house, when yours is in shambles. How we conduct ourselves defines our character. It's said that character is how you act when no one's watching you. It's easy to be upstanding when eyes are on you, but another to maintain your integrity when no one's watching you. When you're tested, are you holding true to your beliefs? The problem is, many politicians act one way in the public eye, and are different when they're alone. In light of politicians being busted for cheating & corruption scandals, I say it's important for voters to know a politician's character. Voters are responsible for getting them in office, so WE have more power than we realize. Let's be honest, politicians are using taxpayers' dollars to be scandalous, so that's more than enough reason to make it our business. I have known some decent politicians (or so it appears) that have been pledged with scandal yet, performed acceptable as politicians. However, I can not deny that there will not be a lack of trust in the back of my mind whether a person who does honor their marriage; would honestly honor and represent voters with more loyalty than his personal marriage commitment.
