Abusing Power and Fame

Abusing power and fame
Integrity is lost
In the political game
Fidelity is one cost

Money and position
Becomes but a tool
To feed pride's ambition
And a public servant becomes a fool

There's a lot of talk about politicians and affairs. I feel that many politicians have become a branch of the acting world. (Yet Ronald Reagan came of the acting world and became one of our best Presidents) Would you vote for someone known for cheating on the spouse? Or is that something separate from the ability to perform duties? What if government funds are used to enable these activities? should we feel cheated? Are these affairs just a sample of what the nation is struggling with?
