To be honest, I think that certain conservatives are far more willing to accept deaths of soldiers, financial abuses, etc., because deep down, they believe that they would do the same had they the chance and wouldn't feel guilty either. The sex thing is something they KNOW they would (and do) do given the chance and feel guilty about it all the time, which is why they get so bent out of shape when someone is outed and can't cover it up.
