Throwing Stones at McCain and Obama

McCain is a borderline compulsive gambler?  (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stephen-c-rose/mccains-mostly-ignored-ga_b_119535.html)

 

Obama is a nicotine addict?  (http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/06/obama-admits-sm.html)

 

Who among us is without sin?  Let them case the first stone.

 

The fact is that whether it’s eating, drinking, sex, shopping, knitting, collecting, exercising, or anything else, most of us do things somewhat compulsively at times.  And doing things compulsively often doesn’t make sense rationally but it make us feel good or helps us numb out in some way.  Should we try to stop?  Of course.  But we shouldn’t think that our presidential candidates are horribly flawed people because they do things that everyone else does.
