Snow Job or Blow Job?

Which is more disturbing to you - a politician who lies about their policies
(Snow Job) or one who lies about their personal morality (Blow Job). I think most politicians are guilty of one or the other, and in some cases both. I know a couple of names immediately come to mind, but try to think of the more general picture. Could you vote for a person knowing they lied about their politcal motivations? Could you vote for a person knowing they had lied about their personal behavior. Which is the lesser of two evils in your opinion?

Almost voted without reading your post.

Looking at the poll only, the answer is obvious -- and different.

Considering the current administration, you should have had a third option.

You know what's great? getting a blow job and at the critical moment have your balls thrust into ice.

So I guess in that respect I'd like a simultaneous snow job and blow job.

Was that off topic?

I find both of them disturbing. It shows a lack of morals when you cheat on your wife. If you cheat on your wife the person you have sworn to spend the rest of your life together how can you be expected to serve a bunch of people you don't even know?

They both reflect morals. Although I find cheating on one wife worse because of the above reason.

I once asked this same question on another (very different) forum and I was just wondering what kind of answer I would get on this forum.
Lion Tamer - I assume you think my third option should be "all the above".

It's a good thing politics is about interests not morals...but the two are constantly being mixed together to fool the masses. Oil and water.

I saw Donnie Darko the other week. Quite liked it.

If they are not connected how come they have an ethics committee?

The two should not exclusive but they are interlinked. If you have no morals how can you really look over the interests of the people who voted for you? Without morals you would be more willing to look at for your own interests instead of those who you work for.

IMHO, when you cheat on your wife you are are cheating 1 person and your morals are in question.

When you lie about your policies you are screwing a nation and your ethics are in question.

It is wrong to cheat on your wife, but it is a grave injustice to cheat on a nation.

Your answer was predictable based on your politics. Personal politics should be put aside for a moment and the answer should be based on which is worse for the country in general. I might also ask if cheating on ones wife is worse than lying to a nation is still worse if the husband and wife are in agreement to an open marriage.

i'm not sure this question matters too much, because whoever is guilty of either offense is probably capable of the other. and even many who are supposedly clean might in reality be simply more cautious than those who get caught.

It is a sample on your person. You are only in office for a few years you are married for a lifetime. If you can't uphold the really important one then what is to say you wouldn't uphold the temp one? It is always a question of Character.

When you cheat on your spouse you are cheating on more then one person. That is like saying when you divorce your spouse you only affect that one person. That isn't true; you affect your whole family for better or for worse. When you kill someone do you only affect the person you kill or are there others that are affected as well?

Don't think cheating is only a little thing. Are you married? How would you feel if your husband cheated on you?

nobody said cheating was good, but there are degrees of bad, and false wars that kill many trump the hell out of lying about a blow job. I don't care who you are or where you're from that's a fact.

Please describe a false war? Bad intelligence or out right lying?

Were you as critical of Clinton when they blew up the bomb making aspirin factory? Or how about when he sent people in Somalia and they died? What was the reason for sending our troops there? How about Kosovo there was bad intelligence on that one as well and we lost troops.
