To be fair, there have been some - in Congress & outside of it. There are some principled religious folks out there who are truly disgusted w/ this behavior.

Actual cheating vs attempted cheating
In my book, it's about the same. I condemn Trump as much as I condemned Clinton
You seem to think attempting to cheat is worse than actually cheating
Hey idiot, this thread is about cheating on one's spouse

This thread is strictly about infidelity.
But beyond that, Clinton also has accusers who claim assault & even rape.

That's a pretty despicable thing to say, and really ignores & insults the countless women over the years who have been victims of assault but for a variety of reasons either weren't able to get their case heard in court, or were unwilling to take it to court.
Wow - your partisan hackery knows no bounds at all. You are a disgrace.
pat robertson? dobson? warren? I think Billy Graham jr said he is staying out of it??
And you excused a sitting president for it

Jones was initially represented by Gilbert Davis and Joseph Cammarata, two Washington, D.C.-area lawyers. Susan Carpenter-McMillan, a California conservative commentator, became her press spokesperson. Carpenter-McMillan wasted no time bringing the issue to the press, calling Clinton "un-American", a "liar", and a "philanderer" on Meet the Press, Crossfire, Equal Time, Larry King Live, Today, The Geraldo Rivera Show, Burden of Proof, Hannity & Colmes, TalkBack Live, and other shows. "I do not respect a man who cheats on his wife, and exposes his penis to a stranger", she said.[7]
Judge Susan Webber Wright granted President Clinton's motion for summary judgment, ruling that Jones could not show that she had suffered any damages. As to the claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress, Wright ruled that Jones failed to show that Clinton's actions constituted "outrageous conduct" as required of the tort alongside not showing proof of damages caused by distress.[8] Jones appealed the dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, where, at oral argument, two of the three judges on the panel appeared sympathetic to her arguments.[9]
Clinton and his defense team then challenged Jones's right to bring a civil lawsuit against a sitting president for an incident that occurred prior to the defendant becoming president. The Clinton defense team took the position that the trial should be delayed until the president was no longer in office, because the job of the president is unique and does not allow him to take time away from it to deal with a private civil lawsuit. The case went through the courts, eventually reaching the Supreme Court on January 13, 1997. On May 27, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled against Clinton, and allowed the lawsuit to proceed.[3] Clinton dismissed Jones's story and agreed to move on with the lawsuit.[10]

On August 29, 1997, Jones's attorneys Gilbert Davis and Joseph Cammarata asked to resign from the case believing the settlement offer they had secured, which Jones refused, was the appropriate way to end the case.[11] In September, Judge Wright accepted their request.[6]
Jones was then represented by the Rutherford Institute, a conservative legal organization, and by a Dallas law firm. Carpenter-McMillan continued to serve as Jones's spokesperson. In December 1997, Jones reduced the damages sought in her suit against Clinton to $525,000 and agreed to remove Clinton's co-defendant and former bodyguard, Danny Ferguson, from the suit.[6]
On April 2, 1998, before the case could reach trial,[12] Judge Susan Webber Wright granted President Clinton's motion for dismissal, ruling that Jones could not show that she had suffered any damages.[12] Jones soon appealed the dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.[9]

Eventually, the court dismissed the Paula Jones harassment lawsuit, before trial, on the grounds that Jones failed to demonstrate any damages. However, while the dismissal was on appeal, Clinton entered into an out-of-court settlement by agreeing to pay Jones $850,000.

Conclusion of case[edit]
On November 13, 1998, Clinton settled with Jones for $850,000, the entire amount of her claim, but without an apology, in exchange for her agreement to drop the appeal. Robert S. Bennett, Clinton's attorney, still maintained that Jones's claim was baseless and that Clinton only settled so he could end the lawsuit and move on with his life.[9] In March 1999, Judge Wright ruled that Jones would only get $200,000 from the settlement and that the rest of the money would pay for her legal expenses.[13]
Before the end of the entire litigation, her marriage broke apart. She also appeared in the news media to show the results of a makeover [14] and of a Rhinoplasty paid for by a donor.[15]
In April 1999, Judge Wright found Clinton in civil contempt of court for misleading testimony in the Jones case. She ordered Clinton to pay $1,202 to the court and an additional $90,000 to Jones's lawyers for expenses incurred,[16][17][18] far less than the $496,000 that the lawyers originally requested.[18]
Wright then referred Clinton's conduct to the Arkansas Bar for disciplinary action, and on January 19, 2001, the day before Clinton left the office of president, he entered into an agreement with the Arkansas Bar and Independent Counsel Robert Ray under which Clinton was stripped of his license to practice law in Arkansas for a period of five years.[19][20] His fine was paid from a fund raised for his legal expenses.

Think about that: She failed to show any damages despite losing her job over it. Textbook harassment! But somehow the court sided with her harasser. Gee! I wonder why?
