Infidelity makes me ill. I don't care whether it's Joe or Jane Schmo or the dude who was a Presidential Candidate. Although decisions are made and mistakes happen, those of us that may find ourselves in these situations can either let it kill all that we are, or it make us stronger than we were. This man lost his direction, his moral compass seemed to stop working. That will be between his wife, family,and God on the moral standpoint. However, if it's found that campaign monies were re-directed to this woman, then it will be an issue on the legal standpoint too, and as well as it should. People have a right to privacy and what goes on in their life--however, if you're a public figure then this engenders a trust that you're fulfilling your obligations to city, state, and country first, not yourself...-- Public Service being all that you know. A crime it is not to get your bread buttered, but if you paid for it on the taxpayers/Contributors dime...Oh hell no! Aside from that, what I find absolutely distasteful, is that your wife is battling an incurable Cancer, and yet you would add this kind of pain and humilation to the list that she has to bear. For shame. For shame that your honor and integrity were so easily mislead. Also, was this the best that you could do? Frankly, "Rielle", is a bit scary looking. Sort of like a scarecrow on crack.
