I think some of us FReepers need to stop and figure out just whose side we're on. It's simple: if you want to maintain the support of conservatives--most of whom are SOCIALLY conservative and believe in REAL family values--then you'd better walk the walk as well as talk the talk.
If that's how you want to judge a political candidate, then go ahead and do that.
I think that's short-sighted. I don't vote for candidates based on their personal life.
And, before you throw Clinton in my face, let me add that Tim Hutchinson violated no civil laws, did not commit perjury, did not try to destroy another person's life.
Hutchinson's wife agreed to the divorce, and would not move to Washington, DC while her husband Tim was in the Senate.
Now that she's divorced him, she's working in Washington, DC.
I guess that you also condem Ronald Reagan ; right ?
Get off your high horse, dear. By your lights, the Clintons have great family values , because they're still married to each other; if you can call THAT a " marriage ".
