Appreciate the acknowledgement but in this scenario I would think my opinion would line up with yours.

In this case, the fact that the man publicly pushed for one thing as a lawmaker who is able to seriously influence while privately saying another to someone privately in his life is really disgusting to me.

Had he just said that to his 'personal person' I would not be interested. Not  my business. Public business is a whole different ballgame. 

Just as Bill Clintons romps were completely private and none of our business. It was only when he stood before Congress and lied, that became public and therefore the public business too.
