Why is is OK to have extramarital sex once you are IN the White House, but forbidden before?

They are trying to hang Cain with (unproven) allegations of infidelity, while many Presidents ( e.g. Kennedy,Clinton) have behaved poorly while in office. Does it really matter?

    Because he isn't the president.. You gotta have status before you get to do whatever you want

    I can't believe people are even saying they are going to vote for Cain, my god you all are brainwashed

    The difference is that once you are elected, you can't be kicked out for extramarital affairs. But if you are trying to get elected, the voters may decide this is not someone they want in office, and decide to vote for someone else.

    No other difference, unless you lie about it (which is what Clinton was impeached for, not for having an affair while in office).

    Obama is frightened to have Cain as the Republican contender so he's doing whatever smear he needs to do...he's making Chicago thuggery proud. He knows a real black man can beat him.

    because in a world where totalitarian regimes can be masked with two party facades. one is able to do as they please when in office. however clinton and kennedy where impeached for their behavior, but you might notice that it's so easy to put people in office and harder than hell get them out once them in.

    No, people just find any excuse to discredit their opponent. Its easier to find dirt and prevent someone from entering office then it is to get somebody out of office.

    It's getting ridiculous. I'm more determined to vote for him than ever. If the dems are doing this to him it goes to show they are concerned he would win against obama.
