So, Republicans are making the "Sanctity of Marriage" a major issue, eh?

A friend of mine sent this in an email to me. Can anyone here verify its validity?

four divorces between them.

Rep. Bob Barr of Georgia - Barr, not yet 50 years old, has been married

Wouldn't you agree that divorce is a much bigger threat to heterosexual marriage than gay marriage ever could be? :hi:

and never recognized them in their campaigns.

and his sexual encounter with a Black family maid which produced a daughter.

And, as always, there's Newt and Livingston, and Barr.

;)

good one! :thumbsup:

It's about homosexuality that pisses them off. They want marriage to be only between one man and one woman.

it's not about ONE woman/one man.....it's about men & women 'getting together'.

If it were about ONE woman with ONE man, than all of those married/divorced/remarried/and divorced and remarried again folks might be called HYPOCRITES.....which, of course, no one would EVER think they were.....:eyes:

It's just another cynical attempt by the neocons to rouse up their base when their approvals are turning into shit. We've seen that show before!

Inquiring minds and all!

research as BS, I was referring to the Repugs' cynical attempts to rouse up their base when their approvals are in the crapper. Sorry I wasn't clear the first time.

the site is HILARIOUS!!! :yourock: :applause: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The worst offender really is Newt Gingrich, as far as I know. He served his first wife with divorce papers while she was in the hospital being treated for cancer. He had a mistress (more or less) whom he used to tryst with at motels -- but he wouldn't spend the night, because he wanted to be able to say with a straight face that he had never "slept with her."

Newt's story and others came out during the Monica affair -- showing the astounding, utter hypocrisy of the Republican establishment, which they carry off without a shred of shame while destroying the reputations and careers of anyone who dares get in their way.

I really would not give a rat's patoot what consenting adult Repubs do behind closed doors, if only they were not so hypocritical about it and nasty-minded about everyone else.

However, the stories are okay to keep around, if only to email back to anyone of your acquaintance who sends you stuff purporting to show that Democrats are libertines threatening the sanctity of marriage.

Hekate

nailed it right between the eyes.

A lot of those people you mentioned are no longer in office, like Newt Gingrich, Alfonse d'Amato, Lauch Faircloth, etc., so maybe you should put "Former" in front of their titles.

As far as I know, Rudi Giuliani was never governor of New York.

You might also want to include Bob Livingston, who was going to preside over the Clinton impeachment until it was discovered that he himself was having an affair.

And then there was the Right Reverend and former Senator Tim Hutchinson of Arkansas, who helped drag his state's name through the mud by helping to lead the impeachment charge against fellow Arkansan Bill Clinton. After that, he dumped his wife and married a woman his daughter's age (and didn't even invite his kids to the wedding).

a year or so ago. That was his 3rd or 4th.

outdated, but still all true...
