President Thompson, I'm Ready for My Close-Up

Ohmegod! He’s hetero! Ohmegod! Ohmegod!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

No she hasn't replied to me Onyx. She stated that Rudy wasn't a serial adulterer and I asked how many times do you have to screw around on a wife to be considered "serial".

And character counts. It is the backbone of a man or woman. If he lies and cheats on his wife and children, do you doubt he'll lie and cheat to get whatever he wants? Lie and cheat to win?

[Politicalmom]

Ick. Ack. Patooie.

[onyx]

I’d consider FDR a full time adulterer, but I doubt that negatively interfered with his handling of WWII and I loathe FDR for his socialism.

What difference does it make what veronica thinks? She’s already stated several times that she’ll support and vote for the GOP nominee regardless.

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

I’m approaching my late 30’s, but if I had dated Laurie Morgan or Kellyanne Conway, I wouldn’t be keeping it a secret, I would be broadcasting it on loudspeaker. If this is the best the MSM can drag up, they’re in serious trouble with Fred...

[xsmommy]

we risk being called hypocrites, by the libs, for deriding clinton for his intemperate sexual behavior, but excusing it in our own candidate. i will give you that the bubbaloon probably has had many more dalliances than rudy, but can we say that our candidate is just LESS of a whoremonger than the bubbaloon? is that what we are left with?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

YOu are right - many men, and women, are serial adulterers. But I'm not having to decide who, among them, to vote for. I am being told that my choice may have to be Rudy, who we all know is a serial adulterer.

If Veronica makes a statement that Clinton is a serial adulterer and Rudy isn't, then she should be a big girl and answer what constitutes the term serial? One, Two, three? Or does it take dozens? She made the statement, not me.

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

Aack! I’ve seen some unflattering pictures, but that one takes the prize!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

So are you saying our campaign slogan would be:

Vote for Rudy, he's not as bad as Bill

[onyx]

Clinton *is* a serial adulterer. He’s still married to Hillary. What does that make Hillary? Stupid and desperate, IMO.

Guiliani’s personal life only disgusts me, because I am Catholic and he is a twice divorced Roman Catholic -— well, maybe the first marriage was annulled.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I could not agree with you more about bill or hillary - he is and she is.

Rudy had an affair with wife #2 while married to #1, then had several affairs on #2 while still married. That's three that we know of. Serial adulterer.

[gogeo]

I don’t think this is slime. Merely reporting the facts. Do you think Fred Thompson will escape scrutiny by the press?

1) Yes, it is.

2) Selectively reporting the facts is not reporting the facts, but lying.

3) This isn't scrutiny, it's politically motivated gossip mongering. Who is any writer for Newsweek to be speculating on what the "right" will think?

I recognize the difference between "dating" while single, and "dating" when married...a distinction seemingly lost on you and Holly Bailey.

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

I'll say this as a not very religious person who does tend to follow the Catholic Church. Rudy's extramarital adventures are not why he's not my first choice. For me, his stances on abortion, the 2nd Amendment, and gay marriage are the deal breakers. But for Rudy backers to be trying to smear Fred Thompson for going out on dates while single is like Bill Clinton going after Bob Dole for a sex scandal.

[onyx]

I abhor his positions on the issues you have cited, but “if” he’s the one left standing between Hillary and the White House, he’ll get my vote and support.

I cannot begin to fathom Hillary or any democrat in the role of Commander in Chief. Our military deserves better.

[kevkrom]

Vote for Rudy, he's not as bad as Bill

It'd be a step up from "Vote for Rudy, he's not Hillary", without even a mention that he isn't any better.

[onyx]

I hate to keep repeating myself, but “IF” Guiliani is the GOP nominee, he’ll get my support and my vote.

He’s leading in all the scientific polls I have seen, but these polls are all PRIOR to the candidate debates!

If Fred Thompson enters, I think he’ll win both the nomination and the general election. I’m praying for Fred to receive the answer from Him that he’s said he’s praying for.

I love being FOR a candidate —— all this negative stuff only helps the democrats. I’m secure in the knowledge that I won’t have to backtrack and make excuses for any posts I have made here no matter which one of our GOP candidates wins our party’s nomination.

Dear kevkrom,

LOL!

Good points!

Fortunately, it doesn’t seem that Mr. Thompson falls into any of those categories.

[gogeo]

guess it's just boobs aplenty, boobs galore... : )

Nothing wrong with that!

[xsmommy]

i will also vote for giuliani if he ends up being the nominee. but i won’t have to backtrack or make any excuses for anything i have said, heretofore, because he will still be a serial adulterer, he still will NOT be a conservative, and he will not be any more prolife, pro 2d amdt etc than he is now. He will be what we are left with and no more.

*gasp*
