Did anyone happen to catch this morning's GMA interview (video) with Saddleback Church founder Rick Warren? At the end of the interview, Jake Tapper asks Rick Warren about John Edwards's fidelity and Warren's comfort level for voting for a candidate whom has admitted to cheating on his wife. I regret that I am not all too familiar with how to embed the video clip into this diary.
Here's Warren's response:
Warren:There's a difference between forgiveness and trust. John Edwards and others like him have lost the trust of America.
Tapper: Would you have compunctions about voting for somebody who had cheated on their wife?
Warren: Absolutely I would! Absolutely I would! Because if you can't keep your faith to your most sacred vow, "'til death do us part", how in the world can I trust you to lead my family, my government?
There's the perfect ad! If Republicans want to be foolish enough to believe everything they read in chain letters and see on youtube (I call them "chain letter conservatives"), then it's time to fight fire with fire. What's the difference? WHAT WE SAY IS TRUE
John McCain is an admitted adulterer. (The LA Times, AZ Central, ABC News, and UK Daily Mail have already said that)
John McCain came back from Vietnam to his faithful wife, Carol, whom had been seriously injured in a car accident. McCain admits to having affairs during this time period. McCain lived with his first wife for the first nine months of his relationship with Cindy Hensel. McCain married Cindy Hensel a mere five weeks after obtaining a divorce from Carol. So now it's time to ask the same question of John McCain that Jake Tapper asked of Rick Warren:
Would you have compunctions about voting for somebody who had cheated on their wife?
How many Fundamentalist Christian Republicans do you think REALLY know about McCain's adultery? My Republican grandmother didn't know Cindy McCain is John's second wife. So, if someone like my grandmother (who watches CNN, CNBC, Fox News, and MSNBC all day) didn't know something like that, how many of those most stringent Fundamentalists are unaware?
Let's make Republicans expose their own hypocrisy of "family values"!
John McCain's adultery must become a viral, repetitive message in chat rooms, on message boards, and around the water cooler. It's time to open up a can of Karl Rove on the Republican Party.
One last thing that nobody seems to be talking about. During the time that McCain admits to his affairs, he was still an active member of the US military. According to Article 139 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, adultery is a CRIME. Doesn't that make John McCain a criminal adulterer?
Get the word out!
