Folks Bob Barr also cheated on his wife who was diagnosed with cancer before LEAVING her!

Look here...

So BOTH of the Republicans still running in the election were adulterers, and no Democrats left are.

Bob Barr, Georgia: Is on his third marriage. (Salon). Photographs show him licking whipped cream off the breast of a stripper. Allegedly lied under oath about adulterous sex during a 1986 deposition. Dumped his second wife Gail and their two sons (ages 5 and 4) just before Thanksgiving in 1985. When Gail was diagnosed with breast cancer, she asked her husband to stop campaigning for the statehouse, but he refused. He never attended chemotherapy treatments with his wife. (Flynt - 20). His second wife Gail believes that he was having an affair with his future third wife Jeri while he and Gail were still married. (Flynt - 22). Allegedly condoned and paid for an abortion for his then-wife. (Flynt - 24)


When we look at the media's amplification now of Edward's affair and its similarities to both McCain's and Barr's, one big DIFFERENCE should be noted. And not only for these guys but others as well.

Both Bill Clinton and John Edwards have STAYED WITH their wives through these situations.

John McCain, Bob Barr, Newt Gingrich, and Bob Dole all LEFT their marriages for "better horizons"... Is that the more "Christian" thing to do? I think NOT! Those Republicans out there should be reminded of those facts!

1. Most definitely.
I think there is a world of difference when a man abandons his wife altogether, versus just having a fling. I think it speaks much better of a man when he doesn't vacate his marriage over a sexual indiscretion.

2. C'mon! You know what the Republican motto is?
"Do as we say, not as we do!"

3. Obviously, marriage to Republicans...
is cancer-causing.
