John McCain: Bigamist?

Edited on Fri Jul-11-08 09:34 AM by RobertSeattle

Got marriage license for 2nd marriage on March 6, 1980.
Divorce for 1st marriage was granted April 2, 1980.

Sorry - dupe - what wasn't very BIG-OF-ME... :-)

1. Not quite. Obtaining a marriage license and actually getting married are two different things.

The license is good for a certain amount of time. (In my own wedding in the state of Florida, the license was good for one month after being issued. In other words, my wife and I had to actually get married within a month of the license being issued.)

At the same time, that doesn't discount the fact that McCain, while not an out and out bigamist, was, in fact, an adulterer.

3. Can you obtain another marriage license legally while still married?

4. I honestly don't know.

I mean, I can talk about the whole marriage license bit because I just recently went through it, but I don't know anything about, you know, divorcing and immediately remarrying the woman you've been cheating on your wife with.

2. You know, he really needs to answer to these questions as much

as Obama has to answer to all his past deeds. I saw cable news the other night trying to make sense of how many drugs Obama used by what he said in his book and other gained facts.
