Geez - I can't believe an argument is being made for China. Thats scary considering Chinas well documented history.
A great number of previous actions can leave a person compromised and open to blackmail - especially when that person becomes President, and salacious gossipmongering is the name of the game.
Paying someone you had sex with to keep quiet about it seems a fairly mild infraction in the grand scheme of things, to my mind.

vetting a president is the voters job...im talking about standards for security clearances for other officials
I think the bar for blackmail concerns for your standard citizen is exponentially higher.

How many countries is China invading or occupying right now? They aren't an evil empire. They advocate for their best interests just as we do. They aren't trying to take over the world.

Tibet and it has a border dispute that occasionally turns violent with India...it also has occasional naval skirmishes with Vietnam...actually it had a land war with Vietnam in the 1970s I believe...and it was a protagonist in the Korean War...
but look too at it's internal history...Mao was one of the greatest mass murderers of all time

Gotta protect the comb over.
Look man, I'm not trying to advocate for China, but Mao's pretty ****ing dead.

even the cesspool of NCAAM gets it right once in awhile:
The charges,accusations are eerily familiar/similar to our time
Tainted Wins
http://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...fall-grace-come-back-former-coach-rick-pitino
....................................
A quick look back at his career there shows:
Pitino's adulterous sex scandal;
A sex scandal in the program that led the NCAA to vacate a college basketball title for the first time in history;
A recruiting scandal that led to his departure, after an FBI investigation into bribery and fraud in college basketball implicated Louisville.
Pitino has not once taken responsibility for the sex parties that happened during recruiting visits and drew the NCAA to investigate. He also has denied any knowledge in the recruiting scandal that cost him his job. In fact, Pitino is suing the University of Louisville Athletic Association for $37.6 million for breach of contract after he was fired in October.
As much as Pitino won at Louisville, all those victories seem meaningless and his legacy forever tainted, especially now that the banner must come down. Some may wonder what purpose vacating wins, and ultimately a championship, serves. After all, the game did happen: Louisville did beat Michigan in the title game and Luke Hancock did win MVP honors. The celebration, the tears, the joy, all those memories will endure even after the banner goes

Quite a lot, actually. The "family values" party would care plenty if they weren't complete hypocrites. No one working in the West Wing could get a security clearance with his background and yet, he's the Pres. Thankfully, he doesn't like to read and needs his son-in-law, who has no more experience in govt than he does, to explain his briefings to him.

Someone is really trying to get Rand Paul.
