For Love Of Country, Please Shag Your Partner

If more political couples were getting it on regularly, would the country be a better place?

This July 4th, perhaps the focus for Mr. and Mrs. Politician should be more on the fireworks happening between their sheets (or lack thereof) rather than the one’s overlooking the Washington Monument.

That’s right, this holiday, if you love your country then please shag your partner.

We know it’s hard. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Between fundraisers and photo ops and everything else that’s happened since you two tied the knot, the spark has surely fizzled.

But enough with the excuses! Ladies and Gentlemen of the State, husbands and wives to the politicos, please go get your groove on.

Would Bill have turned to Monica if Hillary had been more available? Eliot to Ashley Dupre if Silda had been more inviting? Mark Sanford to Maria if Jenny had any love left over after caring for all those boys? Perhaps so, and surely the reasons for marital infidelity run down a two-way street. But just think of the world we would be living in if these couples had had a more fulfilling love life. What We Learn From Gov. Sanford's Love E-mails

Surely it’s possible. Just look at the way Barack gazes at Michelle. That couple makes time for each other. They have date nights. They hold hands in public. They make an effort. And you know what? The country is better run for it. 4 Obama-Inspired Date Ideas

All politicians, male and female alike, need and deserve the comfort and release that a regular sexual relationship provides. Without it, well you see what we get. Why Powerful Men Cheat

But until the American people learn to accept sexual arrangements for their elected representatives outside the confines of a traditional marriage the onus is on their spouses.

So fellows, take your wife out on the town. And ladies, please put on that little black dress. And this Saturday, make your country proud.

Can you relate?

If the President is married, don't offer to show him your thong underwear (rear end).

If a Presidential candidate is married, don't tell him he's hot.

Ladies, for the sake of your country and your party, don't make passes at married men.

Yeah, let's blame the wives for not shagging their husbands. Never mind that:

1) Men are just as likely to cheat when their marriage is good.

Survey says: about half of men cheat when they're "happy" or "very happy" in their relationships. http://www.yourtango.com/20087761/cheating-myths-debunked

2) Men say they cheat because of "emotional dissatisfaction," not sexual problems. They're looking for appreciation.

Can't Relate - Posted July 4, 2009

Wait, let me get this straight.

Your argument is that since the American public is concerned about affairs, that wives need to have more sex? Are you for real?

How about the only reason we CARE about affairs is the Republican Party running on "family values" and then having none. It's the hypocrisy that makes news, not necessarily the affair.

I don't even know what to say beyond that. The fact that you on one had praise the Obama's and bash the Clintons, Spitzers and Sanfords is telling of your political leanings.

Not to mention, unless you have some insight you're not sharing with us here, you actually have no clue what they are doing sexually. Perhaps Jenny Sanford was banging Mark 5 nights a week. Or Silda and Elliot had afternoon delights.

In any case, it's not for you to tell people to give it up for your country and the tone of this article is simply appalling.
