Hypocrisy

Petraeus.

Fixed.

How who was supposed to be such a noble man could've done that to his family and his country, I still do not understand. How does someone do that?? I know people do it, that's obvious, but I've never understood how they could.

Easy, cuz she was hot and 20+ yrs younger. This happens every day in America. Not saying it's right, just easy to connect the dots here....

Not for me. I've never understood the need to go somewhere else before dealing with your partner first. If you're not getting what you need at home, you talk to your husband/wife, girl/boyfriend, whatever. If you can't work things out for whatever reason, and sadly that does happen, then you end the relationship so your "house is clean", so to speak, then you go chase whatever it is you want to chase.

Like I said, I know it happens. It's not like I don't know it happens all the time. I've just never understood that utter lack of self-discipline, especially someone like he was supposed to be. Maybe I'll never understand that mindset.

BTW, she wasn't even that hot! And the fact that she was willing to "do it" with someone who was already spoken for? That makes her lower than dirt, too, right along with him. Hmm...maybe they do deserve each other....

Unfortunately, Do the Right Thing is not very popular among politicians.

I call it the "mac-n-cheese" theory. You can take mac-n-cheese, add tomatoes, onion, green pepper, ground beef, or ground sausage, or tuna, or chopped chicken, differnt cheeses, Different types of noodles, etc, etc...

It's still... Mac... and...Cheese.

(shrugs) Some people cannot enjoy just one item off the menu. Sometimes, they want a "Side Salad".

Like others, not saying it's right, but just stating the obvious.

I laugh at those who condemn Petraeus but think that Clinton is a great statesman and President. Now there's hypocrisy for you.

+1 in regard to personal relationships. However, if this guy sold out the truth on Benghazi, then hell won't be hot enough for him, IMO.

Who's to say anything is wrong at home? Some people just want their cake and eat it too.
