[QUOTE="Jones, post: 125060, member: 4805"] Are you sure you're a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarianism"]libertarian[/URL]? From the websites you keep linking to and the general slant of your posts, I'm getting the impression that you're more of a conserative/republican type. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but libertarians generally aren't so obsessed with sex and morality, they tend to focus more on property rights and individual freedom. That article seemed to make clear that there's no real double standard, it's more that nobody likes a hypocrite. If you've spent your political career cultivating the votes of homophobes, it shouldn't be a surprise that those people aren't going to be very forgiving when they find out out that you're "one of [B][I]them[/I][/B]". If, on the other hand, you've always campaigned as a supporter of gay rights, it's not so surprising that your constituents will be a little more forgiving. Likewise, if it comes out that you cheated on your wife, who's more likely to give you a second chance? The fundamentalists and evangelicals who think you're guilty of sin, or the secularists who think you're just guilty of being human? This isn't rocket science :wink:. [/QUOTE]
