Is marriage a pre-requisite for a vice presidential candidate? If it is, would someone be so dishonest, so underhanded as to claim their adoration for someone just to get into office? What?! Get real.
Republican politicians get married because they love their (opposite sex only) soul mates. They are honest, upstanding souls who wouldn't think of deceiving the public for personal gain. Not ever:
Think Progress:
Via Matt Yglesias, MSNBC pundits this morning discussed potential running mates for John Mccain and whether there is a “glass ceiling” for unmarried individuals in politics. After Andrea Mitchell floated Gov. Charlie Crist (R-FL) as an example, Joe Scarborough noted that Crist is engaged. Chuck Todd suggested the engagement may be staged so Crist can be Vice President:Oh, how they laughed. Isn't that a riot?
SCARBOROUGH: Did he get married? I thought he was engaged. Is he engaged or did he get married?
TODD: After Friday the engagement might be off if he’s not the running mate., right? … I don’t know!
As the group laughed, Andrea Mitchell remarked, “That is so mean.” “Wow,” said Scarborough."Wow," said Laffy. "That is so... on the mark."

Such hypocrisy. Such liars.
LEAVE MY FAY GOV ALONE !
I will if Think Progress and others will.
No I won't.
"I don't give a shit if he's gay", said Chris, "I just care that we live in a country where the media think that other people's sex lives are any of their business".
Fucking hypocrites.
Hear, hear, Chris.
I think the GOP would just love a platform that supports sham marriages, don't you?
Just think how it could turn all those pesky illegal aliens into legal immigrants.
I think I'll start a website --- GOPers for Sham Weddings.
They did raise a legittmate question though. Why is marraige a pre-requisite for holding the office of President or Vicd-President?
I read somewhere that Crist has been engaged 4 times, always in election years, but has not married any of those times. Wish Todd had brought that up!
