You can choose your husband too Hillary
Edited on Wed Mar-26-08 09:55 AM by workinclasszero
So why did you stay with that serial philanderer, Hillary?? It doesn't speak well of your judgment, thats for sure.

Political ruthlessness, yes, judgment, no.

Oh well what can you expect from the Tonya Harding of politics??

3. Excuse me, but you don't throw away a marriage
on a whim. You have absolutely no idea what goes on in that marriage. And while YOU may not "put up" with it, many women do and have for centuries. When someone makes a commitment, a grown up stands by that commitment. Would you have more respect for her if she got a divorce? Of course not, because you just don't like her.

Sorry, but my generation took marriage seriously. As long as it was possible, you kept the marriage together. Now, it seems people throw things away if they see one little flaw in it. Marriage vows are for better or worse, not until I find something better.

And, I'm just guessing here, but if it was Obama and Michelle, I'm sure it would be a whole different story in your eyes.

4. On a whim?
Breaking your most serious weeding vows and betraying your loved one is a whim to you?

Ok whatever. I'm married and if my wife were to cheat on me once, its over.

What about physical abuse? Just supposed to kick back and take the beatings for the team eh? I think not. Serial cheating is mental and spiritual abuse of your spouse.

Anyone who would go along with that needs help. Your self esteem would have to be next to nothing after a few years of that no doubt.

12. You are missing the point of the post.
It is putting her in her place for making the statement that you don't choose your family, but you do choose your church. To me holding her responsible for her husband's affair is just as ridiculous as holding Obama responsible for what his pastor said. You stay in a marriage because it is worth more than the mistakes. You stay in a church for all the good that that church does in it's community even if you don't agree with everything your pastor rants about. Enough said.

5. Some woman don't want to vote for Hillary because she didn't leave Bill
with all the times he had affairs with other women.

6. It's Nobodys business but Hillary's
The only difference between Bill and LBJ and GHW Bush, and JFK and FDR in the realm of marital infidelity was that Bill was forced to admit it on TV.

Marital infidelity does not mean Bill was a bad president, nor does it make him a criminal.

Hillary's decision to remain in her marriage does not disqualify her from high public office.

If God can forgive Bill (it's his job) then so can Hillary.

And I can forgive you for defamation of character, but it will have to wait until after the convention.

11. Let me be clear, I DID NOT have sexual relations with that woman...
You mean that? In which part did he admit to it?

7. Hillary Clinton's marriage and family are none of our business.
Going through a divorce can be costly and painful, especially when there are children involved. I cannot accept the idea that any of us has the right to make a judgement about whether someone we have never met (in this case, Senator Clinton) should have filed for divorce at some point in the past.

But I think it is fair to ask Barack Obama why he has made the choice over the past 20 years to associate himself with someone who makes a living out of preaching strong political messages - and now Obama turns around and tells us he was not aware of and does not agree with some of these messages.

Divorce is messy and expensive. Switching churches costs nothing - except for ambitious politicians who see regular church attendance as a resumé booster and an opportunity for voter outreach.

10. In answer to a direct question, Senator Clinton said what she would have done in that situation.
She never told Senator Obama to change his church.

Not a single time :P

8. My thoughts exactly: my response to that stupid line I would have NEVER chosen Bill
as my husband. He obviously has some low self-esteem issues.

15. Yeah, and adding to the divorce pool in this country is better?
She's a hypocrite for staying there when you know *nothing* about her life or her marriage?

You're going to judge? Unbelievable.

Then you will have to tell *every person* in the country who has ever stayed with someone who was unfaithful to get a divorce. Every person, whether they were in politics or not.

Disgusting.

16. I'm sorry sweetie, but after Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinski
et al, being the cause for my personal life and my marriage and the reputation of this country being drug through the mud, an embarrassing impeachment over my husband's inability to control his libido, for ALL THE WORLD TO SEE, would be grounds for divorce more apt than any other thing I can imagine. She stayed with him simply for the sake of her own political ambition. But that isn't even the POINT. The point is it is hypocritical for her to lump an expectation on Obama to ditch his pastor when she herself elected to stick with a scumbag of a husband in spite of what most people would think of as idiotic. Do you see the double standard she is exhibiting? If anything, she should be RELATING to Obama's plight in this matter. But that darned political ambition gets in the way of her good sense yet again.

17. You are correct. She sold out for the Power. Just like she did kissing McCains ass
after what he has said about Chelsea. If anyone said that about my child, I'd fucking clock them.

14. What the hell is wrong with you, talking catty personal bullshit like that?
Who do you think you are and what the hell is wrong with you? :puke:

There is no excuse for this garbage. How do you even care about her marriage, much less insult her about it?

What does it have to do with your life? Who died and put you in charge?

That's beyond ignorant. It's evil.
