I'm sorry, I don't understand why you're talking to me. I answered a direct question from another FReeper, and neither the question nor the answer was addressed to you.

I am ordering neither the other person nor you to do or say anything, for I was merely stating the facts as I see them here. You are certainly free to state your opinion about anything at all and to vote for whomever you choose.

A good way to evaluate a candidate is by his record. If his rhetoric matches his record, we have a winner. However if the campaign speeches are forgotten after election day, then we have a sleazy political animal.

As far as a candidate's personal life goes, sometimes it is best to temper what one hears in the Mainly Slime Media with what the candidate says about the situation. the leftist media do tend to scandalize everything about a conservative and nothing about a liberal. I take everything they say with a grain of salt, and I certainly do not parrot their talking points about conservative candidates without hearing the conservative's side of the issue, a side that would weigh heavier in my mind than the MSM's version.

You are correct. The battle must be won.

It looks like I misunderstood what I was reading. I understand Jim was/is pretty adamant in his support for Gingrich. I thought you were spelling out the rules backed by the authority to remove posting privileges.

This doesn't sound unreasonable.

I'm not bringing up the that "wife on deathbed" false story. Nor, am I bringing up that 2nd wife "open marriage" thing.

However, far from ending two marriage and starting three serially, he ran them in parallel. A kind way of saying his marriage vows meant little when presented with something he wanted. I'm no prude, but I just find that behavior distasteful and a real indicator of what makes someone tick.

This decision isn't easy as both have many more policy transgressions than I care to see. So that's why his infidelity is tipping the scales for me as an indicator of his truthfulness. I supported Cain and was furious with him when he pulled the same stunt. My first choice was Pawlenty... the first guy to throw in the towel...
