"His is not running for the office of big daddy, his is running for the office of President of the USA. Personally I don't care who he sleeps with, I don't care if he drinks, smokes or chases skirts."




OK, well, you've defined yourself, then. I want a President who is not only a political leader, but a moral and ethical leader as well. Newt doesn't fit that bill at all.

If a man will lie to his wife, he'll lie to me even quicker. And having affairs is lying. I want a President who honors his vows, OK? If he won't honor his marriage vows, why should I believe he'll honor his oath of office any better.

You may be happy with someone who lies and who can't keep his vows. I won't. But, I do know more about you today than I care to.

Well one out of two ain't bad, as with the current President.

I feel the same way about Rudy. And I have my doubts about Keating Five McCain's personal ethics, no matter how much he harps on pork and his MSM chorus spouts about how squeaky-clean he is.
