Besides other issues with Newt (or Rudy) I have to wonder ... if he cannot honor a vow he made to his wife in front of God and witnesses, why would I expect him to honor the pledge to “us” to uphold the constitution? I can forgive him on a personal level sure, but I don’t have to put him in position to potentially betray my trust. I see it as a very severe “character issue”.
This would be as opposed to the marriage of convenience of someone like Billy Jeff Clinton, or a marriage where the wife actually runs the country like with Jimmah Carter? Or, how about the infidelity of Jack Kennedy? I’m quite sure that in this country’s 235 year history there have been Presidents for whom faithfulness to their spouse was not a priority. Yet, for most of these Presidents, their ability to abide by and for the Constitution have rarely been questioned. I would gladly exchange Newt for Obozo, despite their differences when it comes to marriage. Newt, at least, isn’t working overtime to change our Republic to a Marxist/Communist regime.
There are civil laws in this country that regulate marriage, whether we like it or not people can and do get divorced. My first wife divorced me, thank God for I have now been with my saving grace for 38 years. It jus might be because I sought the woman I needed through prayer. Just saying.
