“Go soak your head. I’m just as much a fiscal conservative as I am a social conservative, but if a man betrays his wife and family, he’ll betray the country. Adulterers do not have ‘good characters’, period.”
Excuse me, but that’s horseshit. The time is past when we can afford that kind of non-sequitor thinking, confusing private morals with public responsibility. A man’s marital life says nothing about how well he can lead the country. Jimmy Carter was well-married and made a lousy president. Ditto Obama. By the same token, 9/11 told us all we had to know about Rudy’s courage and leadership—so did his lowering taxes and firing bureaucrats and turning around the most liberal city in America. The rest is irrelevant. We’re electing a president in dangerous times, not a preacher. What we need is somebody tough enough to get the job done and turn the country around, not somebody who meets the standards set up by Dr. Dobson—which was why we ended up losing last time around.
Fine. You vote for who you want. I will continue to consider morality on my list of requirements for a candidate. I’ve seen how Giuliani handled his most sacred responsiblity, that of being a father.
I can state with confidence that his website will NOT be boosting Giuliani for president.
Oh, and you’re a vitriolic jerk, and I’m leaning toward you being a troll, as well.
You don't even understand what non-sequitor means! It's a hell of a lot longer stretch to say a guy that cheats on his wife will be some paragon of civic virture than it is to infer dishonesty to a spouse indicates general dishonesty.
It seems pretty obvious to me that you are of the stripe that sees no difference between "self-righteous," and more righteous than you!
Big Dittos to that. I'm not crazy about Rudy, but we're not looking for the next Scout Master.
A brief memo before JimRob or a mod notices you and zots you. The folks around FR would never support Rudy for president. Most would not vote for him against Obama (they would vote for a third party candidate, write in someone, abstain on the presidency, or stay home).
