onetime2,

Of course.

Politicians do it because we allow them to.

We shrug our shoulders and say, "Well, that's just politics" when we like the candidate, or "He's corrupt!" when we don't.

Until we, as a society decide to hold our politicians to a higher standard, then this will never stop.

Until then, I will remain unimpressed when one side or the other drags out the same tired strategy of diss'ing the opposing candidate for things that their own engage in regularly, be it draft dodging, drug use, womanizing, etc.
