Why is anyone making a big deal about Rudy Giuliani being divorced? Reagan was divorced. Newt Gingrich was divorced. Being divorced by itself doesn't make a person evil!

For me Divorce means nothing. Sometimes it takes a few times to find the right person. We are all human..

I willingly confess that I cannot support Rudy in the Republican primary because he failed a test in his personal life that I have applied to candidates in primary elections ever since I began voting in 1972. It’s not an issue of multiple marriages and divorces for me, but one of faithfulness in marriage.

All things being nearly equal, any candidate with an extramarital affair in their personal life does not have my support in the primary. For me, it’s an issue of trustworthiness and honor and the implications for other aspects of their public lives. It may be old fashioned in modern culture, but I take marriage vows extremely seriously.

My standard for faithfulness in marriage certainly served me well to steer me away from further consideration of Bill Clinton before the election in 1992 after he essentially admitted to extramarital affairs in a CBS 60 Minutes interview. We all know what an immoral reprobate and scoundrel Clinton turned out to be. This is not to say that Rudy is in the same category as Bill Clinton for his very public extramarital affair while married to his second wife; certainly not!. Clinton is in a class by himself (a very low class) and deserving of the title Caligula of the Ozarks.

Reagan's divorce was not taken lightly by either party (meaning the parties to the divorce, not political parties, fyi), and scandalous affairs were not part of it as it was with Newt. Now Rudy was not only divorced once, but twice (he was married to his second cousin for years before he got hooked up with Donna Hanover, then Donna got old, and over the railing she went.

And that's not Rudy bashing, that is a preview of what the MSM and the 'Rats will throw at him if he IS the GOP nominee, all the while prattling on about 'family values' and it 'takes a village'. Bet the rent on that.
