Here’s a thought for you. How long will conservatives have a real grip on this country? Not long judging by the field of Republican presidential candidates. The front-runner is pro- choice and pro-gay-marriage for heavens sake! Let’s take a closer look at their personal lives and see how much they value their families. From Greg Seargant of the Horse’s Mouth:
How many divorces have their been among the men -- and women -- in the Democratic field? Let's run through them real quick, just for the fun of it. None of the following liberal Dem candidates has gotten divorced:
(1) Hillary: You know the story. No need to repeat it
(2) Obama: Married to Michelle, whom he met when she was just out of law school, for 15 years.
(3) Edwards: Married to Elizabeth since 1977; they've had four children, one of whom was killed in a car crash. As Andrew Sullivan recently observed: "Most couples never survive the death of a child. The Edwards family did — and went on to have two more."
(4) Richardson: Married to his high-school sweetheart for 33 years.
(5) Biden: First wife killed in car accident in 1972; married to his current wife for almost 30 years.
Yeah, you have to really scrape your way to the bottom of the Democratic field to find divorces. The only Dem Presidential candidate with any kind of credible shot who has gotten divorced is...Chris Dodd, who divorced in 1982.
In fact, if you think about it, the entire field of Dems deemed credible boasts fewer divorces than Rudy Giuliani alone!
What does this mean for Republicans? I don't know, but it's a sad day when you compare your candidate to a Clinton and are left wondering about their morals.
So, I guess if you get divorced, you're an immoral person.......interesting.
But you bring up an interesting point about all the divorces between Rudy and McCain (not to mention Gingrich). Kind of makes my man Mitt look a little more appealing for conservatives doesn't it?
Right!
I just thought it was an interesting observation. You have to admit, the crop of candidates is surprisingly liberal.
But, on the other hand, I do agree. Compared to Rudy and the rest of the lot, Mitt looks like a Saint (pun intended).
