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.

And I won’t vote for anyone who thinks that dismembering babies is fine and dandy, and who wants to use taxpayer money to do it.

Not to mention he’s a gun-grabber. “Strict constructionists” are NEVER gun-grabbers.

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.
