August 2010...a couple years ago...Conservative Oklahoma Republican Sen. Tom Coburn said Friday that Newt Gingrich is “the last person I'd vote for for president of the United States” because “[h]is life indicates he does not have a commitment to the character traits necessary to be a great president,” according to the Tulsa World.........Coburn said specifically that while Gingrich is “super smart,” he “doesn't know anything about commitment to marriage.
Thanks. I can see how that line of thinking might affect Coburn.
However, I’m reminded of the email that floats around once in a while listing the differences between three men:
Politician a: associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologists. had two mistresses. he also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.
Politician b: kicked out of office twice, rises from bed at 11am, used opium in college and drinks champagne, brandy, and whiskey to excess every day.
Politician c: a decorated war hero. vegetarian, doesn’t smoke or drink, and hasn’t had any extramarital affairs.
I’m not looking for a husband. What I want is someone who will take the country in the right direction and has the guts and smarts to get us out of the mess we’re in.
