Should your personal conduct affect your political opinion

[Earth]

I find myself wondering why so many posters get upset because others don't let their personal conduct influence their political thinking.   I may smoke pot, have sex parties etc.
But should this affect my Public policy positions?

Another example would be a senator who speeds past the posted speed limit.  Should he now be for rising the speed limit?

Yes, and yes. You'd be a giant hypocrite if you don't take your actions into consideration.
