No... I said we need someone like Thomas Jefferson and then provided quotes pertaining to what I was talking about.
I made no mention of anyones fidelity or lack thereof.

When I look for someone to run this secular government... it doesn't do me any good to have someone who is faithful to his wife if he is unfaithful to the electorate.
If he is unfaithful to his wife then all involved in that contract need to rise up and make a stand.
If he is unfaithful to the constitution then all involved in that contract need to rise up.

And... on the flip side. Who he really was does not change the quotes or the principles they represent.

I did not nominate any of them for Messiah or Pope or pastor of the church down the street.
So... your basic point is... what?
No one suggested anything about their morality but you. I was talking about their political position.
