A great "talking point" came to me this morning concerning Santorum's book
Santorum has a book out called "It Takes a Family" (obvious rip-off of Hillary's book)- and I thought "If we all adopted RW "family values," the divorce rate would skyrocket." Seriously, how many RW's have been married multiple times? Bunch of Bluebeards!

Newt and the Republicans hate marriage
By Bob Cesca

Speaking of marriage protection, David Corn has the story about how Newt left his second wife after she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. This was after he left his first wife while she was in the hospital dying of cancer.

Oh yeah, and Corn writes:

Newt, 57, secretly had been having an affair with congressional aide Callista Bisek, 34, whom he plans to marry next month in Alexandria, Va. That would make the blond-haired Bisek wife No. 3 for the onetime Republican revolutionary.

Here's the talking point, progressives: Republicans actually hate marriage. They hate marriage so much that they want to pass a constitutional amendment preventing an entire segment of the population from marrying. And... they often divorce their wives (Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich to name a couple), which decreases marriages.

Next time you encounter a Republican, ask him or her:

"Why do Republicans hate marriage so much?"

The Republican Adultery Honor Roll of Shame:

Bob Dole Cheated on his first wife with his current wife, Elizabeth Dole.
Former Rep. Bob Dornan Reported to have cheated on and beaten his wife.
John Linder Has a wandering eye for his female staff members.
Ronald Reagan Dumped Jane Wyman by cheating on her with several Hollywood starlets
William Cohen Dumped his white wife for a new black one.
Guy Millner Has been married three times, partly because he has sex with women he isn't married to....
Rush Limbaugh Fat as he may be, he cheated on two of his three wives... He has just divorced #5

Michael Deaver Was so drunk he doesn't remember hiring hookers...
John Warner Dumped his wife for Elizabeth Taylor...
Bill Randall A Florida Congressional candidate and minister, he fathered an illegitimate child during his affair!
Bill McCartney Promise Keepers founder who didn't keep his Promise to his wife and then lied about it for 20 years!
Rep. Dan Burton Had at least six adulterous affairs, and fathered a bastard son who, today, he ignores!!
Rep. Bob Barr Cheated on all three of his wives - and coerced one into having an abortion - then lied about it!
Rudolph Giuliani Boffs his assistant in Gracie Mansion while his wife stays home with the kids! And THAT was his SECOND wife!
Sen. Strom Thurmond Cheated on his fourth wife at age 88!!
Gilbert Davis Paula Jones' attorney, who allowed himself to be videotaped, drunk, during his adultery!
Bob Packwood Drank huge amounts of hard liquor and then tongue-kissed his female staffers against their will!
Gov. Kirk Fordice Got so hopped up by his mistress that he crashed his Jeep Cherokee and got himself hurt!
Beverly Russell The Christian Coalition coordinator who molested his stepdaughter Susan Smith, who later killed her own kids.
Marv Albert Calls himself a Republican, bites his longtime mistresses, and has sex with her while wearing women's panties!

Other Horny Republicans:

N.C. Rep. Sue Myrick - Who cheated on her husband and left him for another man!

LA. Rep. Bob Livingston - The GOP Speaker-to-never-be, who cheated on his wife Bonnie - with at least four women!

Michael Huffington - The Former GOP Congressman who cheated on his wife Arianna - with other men!

Oklahoma Lt. Gov. Mary Fallin - Who had an adulterous affair with her Security Guard - a state trooper!

Rep. Helen Chenoweth - Who screwed most every married male member of the Idaho Legislature!

The Charleston County, S.C. Solicitor, a Republican, who had an extramarital affair - a GAY affair with another man.....

Jim Bakker - Who eventually got locked up in chains and sent to federal prison.

Jimmy Swaggart - Who broke down crying after he got busted with an ugly hooker!



We really should mention John Tower, the infamous alcoholic woman-chasing midget U.S. Senator, but he's dead, so he doesn't count!

3. Wow-impressive research there! Did you Google "Republicans who
have had multiple marriages?" Barr, Gingrich, Limbaugh,Hyde, and Ryan were the ones that came to mind, but I knew there were more.Thanks for reminding me of Jim Bakker--now that was a fun scandal!

4. what a great list!
Don't think it is fair to call Swaggart's hooker ugly. She may not have been a Jennifer Flowers, but she had a certain appeal.
