Everyone knows McCain is an adulterer. But many people have fallen prey to temptation and that doesn't make them "bad" people. It certainly doesn't disqualify a person from becoming president of the United States. Many of our presidents have been adulterers.McCain is a liar. Some people still refuse to accept that.
Worse, McCain is a bigamist. What?
The Los Angeles Times reported yesterday that McCain is indeed a bigamist. The article, titled "McCain's broken marriage and fractured Reagan friendship," by Richard A Serrano and Ralph Vartabedian, describes exactly how McCain became a bigamist.
"McCain, who is about to become the GOP nominee, has made several statements about how he divorced Carol and married Hensley that conflict with the public record.
"In his 2002 memoir, 'Worth the Fighting For,' McCain wrote that he had separated from Carol before he began dating Hensley. 'I spent as much time with Cindy in Washington and Arizona as our jobs would allow,' McCain wrote. 'I was separated from Carol, but our divorce would not become final until February of 1980.'"
Well, that's not true.
"An examination of court records tells a different story. McCain did not sue his wife for divorce until February 19, 1980, and he wrote in his court petition that he and his wife had 'cohabited' until Jan. 7 of that year - or for the first nine months of his relationship with Hensley.
"Although McCain suggested in his autobiography that months passed between his divorce and remarriage, the divorce was granted April 2, 1980, and he wed Hensley in a private ceremony five weeks later. McCain obtained an Arizona marriage license on March 6, 1980, while still legally married to his first wife."
John Avavosis, at americablog.com, admittedly not an admirer of John McCain, makes a very pertinent point, nonetheless:
"Imagine if Barack Obama had two marriages at the same time. Imagine had Barack Obama lied about living with his first wife while having a mistress on the side. Imagine that all this happened while Obama had promised to speak out vocally about how gay people are a threat to marriage. We'd never hear the end of it from the Republicans and the media."
There is an excellent story on McCain and his marriage here.

Our media seems to ignore some stories while looking for the exact same sort of stories to use against someone they favor. Regardless of McCain’s character, which seems to be less than perfect, we will have to place our bet on either Obama or McCain. It is possible neither would be our pick to marry our daughters or granddaughters but luckily they are only competing for the job of President of the United States. We have picked some bad ones and survived. Hopefully we will survive no matter which one we elect. We are still here, in spite of Bush and Cheney, although over 4000 of our neighbors have died and many thousands will suffer from wounds forever. I think we owe it to them, to pick the next leader very carefully.
