Being a "only married once" man to the same woman for 24 years doesn't qualify me for much. It does qualify me to say that a certain amount of
"stick-to-it" is required at a bare
MINIMUM. After that, high character and integrity are a plus. I was USAF/AD through the Clinton reign (actually prior to, and after as well) and I can personally attest to the strains that active duty can put on a marriage...especially one where there are children in the mix. I saw married couples drop away like flies because of the situation. I remember being in disbelief when a policy of co-ed dorms came into effect and how certain of us thought it was a very bad idea...and it was!
My point is that we were working under much less than optimal conditions required to hold a marriage together, and a good many of us simply refused to betray our wives in the face of temptation.
But the cross dresser was living "well" and had it good and still betrays his wife and family. This speaks volumes about the man and certainly marks him for what he is. He is somebody who simply can't be trusted, and should be marked and remembered as a dangerous individual. Certainly he should not be considered for any political office where he can effect change on even a small percentage of the populace.
If he can't be faithful to a single person (his wife), then what's to make me think that he can be faithful to an entire nation?
But stupid people want to "believe" that his personal life can be separated from his professional life, when in fact they look inwardly and know that this is a lie. We all work with "somebody" who has done things like Rudy in his personal life, and we know that those people
usually lack character and integrity. But when it comes to a world class con man like Rudy, they all wave their little GOP flags with "Vote Giuliani" on it and hold fast to the thought that he's
better than Hillary and hope they don't get raped too badly by the time it's all over with. Because in their hearts, they know he's a bad example of who we need to hold the Executive Office.
I think too many people are making up excuses for these stinking RINOs because the truth of the situation simply frightens them and they don't want to talk about it. They don't won't to admit that the GOP has gone to hell and abandoned us.
These people who support these RINOs such as Giuliani are hoping for the lesser of two evils and they know this. But they're going to get the worse of two evils. This is because the GOP is
SPLIT. Too many people are going to vote for independents and we will be
INEFFECTIVE as a conservative voter base!
So by them hoping for the lesser of two evils, they're going to get the worst! They're cowards though and are afraid to even talk about this, but I can assure you that if given a choice between Hillary and Giuliani we'll vote for Hillary just to "
bring it on". At least we know what to expect from the likes of Hillary. Giuliani though pretends to "represent" us and then Lord knows what he'll do if he were to be appointed to the Executive Office.
In truth, I'll pencil in a name on a ballot before voting for Hillary if the only choices were Hillary and Giuliani, but the outcome will be the same. We'll have the
Witch in the Pants Suit holding the Executive Office and as our Commander in Chief.
Seriously, the morons supporting Giuliani,McCain, and Romney need to snap out of it, otherwise we're in for a lot of grief.
I didn't get the details on what he said about ground zero and being there. I do know that because of public backlash which basically called him a liar, he issued a retraction a day later.
Excellent post.
I know what you mean about military families.
That’s a tough life.
My husband was a pilot in Viet Nam.
So I know about the separations.
It takes a great deal of commitment to be a military family.
I admire them so much.
IIRC, what I heard him to say is that he declared that he was at ground zero more than anyone.
His retraction was that he didn’t mean it.
There were police and firefighters, plus volunteers, who were there 24/7.
His retraction was the best thing that he could do, given his circumstances.
