Call me old fashion, but I have a certain standard for people working for the public. It is hard to except that a person conducting themselves that way while in public service is maintaing any degree of integrity.

Were he a private citizen at the time , go for it, but as one does when they enter the military, you scrifice certain personal liberties for the good of the service.

Just think of the great Americans that you just eliminated.

Personally, I've seen enough of the Kennedy's, the Bush's, the Carnahan's, the Blunt's, etc.

What I'd like to see is some fresh blood for a change.
