McCain is too old.  Ronald Reagan was 69 when he took office and McCain will be 72.

Obama is a 1st term senator.  No thanks.

Huckabee is a former baptist minister, just like Jimmy Carter.  Nuff said.

 

 

Unless your voting for Nader, Hillary Clinton is the only choice.

She loves her husband and accepted that he made some mistakes.

 

Would you rather have her get a divorce like 50% of the marriages?

Oh yeah, missPolitick, you make a fantastic, controversial yet realistic, point! Jenna or Barabara may very well be a real issue! I'm thinking Barbara, simply because people are so familiar with Barbara Bush (Senior? lol) and just like with Hillary, it's all about name association for those who do not research and educate before casting their ballot.

I met Hillary Clinton at a fundraiser, when Bill was running for president.  I found her to be very intelligent and genuine.

Actually...yes! I would have respected that a lot more. I know a lot of people see divorce as an easy way out of a situation that is no longer "fun"! BUT, divorce exists for a reason, this is one of the bigger reasons. Also, it would have proven a point to their only child, who happens to be female, that you should never let anyone treat you like that!

People aren't perfect.  How many of you have cheated and didn't get divorced?  Its not like a few BJs is the end of the world or a marriage. 

He should have just went on tv and said "America, it seemed like a good idea at the time".

 

 

Okay, here's the thing, I agree with you that he should have been honest with the American people and I'm sure it did seem like a REALLY good idea at the time. Fact remains, he did not and was impeached for it. Monica was not the first time that he cheated, it wasn't the second and it most likely happens on a regular basis. This is the truth, people do make mistakes, but you are supposed to learn from them. He learned nothing besides the fact that he could count on his wife to "stand by him" and take the emotional and mental abuse.

If a spouse cheats once, then yeah, you should probably try to work it out. Most people would honestly cheat if they thought they wouldn't get caught, but not everyone. He continued his womanizing ways and ended up making a fool of himself, his wife, his daughter and his Presidency.

I find it sincerely hard to believe that any self respecting, well educated woman would allow this to continue in her marriage. I would hope, for the sake of women everywhere, that a woman like this would make a stand and say "To hell with you. If it's other women you want, then go have at it, but leave me and my healthy, non-std having self out of it!"

Just my opinion, as the victim of a cheating ex-spouse. I stood up for myself after a few incidents because I would rather be a divorcee' struggling to make it on my own than someone who feels as if she doesn't matter in some of the most basic and fundamental ways in a marriage.
