What is the connection between moral character and political activism? Should there be a link between good moral character and political activity?

First, define "good moral character."

Did Henry David Thoreau, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Mahatma Gandhi display "good moral character" in their peaceful acts of civil disobedience?

Did a lot of the presidents, including Thomas Jefferson, Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, and Bill Clinton display "good moral character" when they had extramarital relationships?

What do you think?
