Kerry divorced ?

[cardeer]

I dont hear much about that fact in the news media. I really did not realize that untill my wife told me. Was there ever a divorced President before????????? you would think the very conservative catholics would not vote for him. Even if my wife agreed with Kerry on every issue ( which she don't She would not ever vote for a divorced person. And she aint catholic ,just independent blood washed christian.

I can't think of anybody but you'd think there would be at least one former president who was divorced before being elected.

divorced twice, married to three different women as follows


After nearly six years of separation, Kerry and Thorne filed jointly for a divorce on June 24, 1988. Norfolk Probate Court Judge James Sweeney approved the divorce on July 25, 1988

Kerry and Julia Thorne cited the generic "irretrievable breakdown of the marriage" in getting their "no-fault" divorce in 1988, according to the files. The couple were separated for the final third of their 18-year marriage.

Kerry married Teresa Heinz, the widow of Pennsylvania Sen. John Heinz, in May 1995.

This has become a non-issue. There was a time when divorce was a political death sentence but apparently no longer. I can't remember which election it was but in the past 30 years there was at least one where a candidate lost out big time due to divorce. Since clintons escapades in office, divorce seems almost like a misdemeanor.

I found a cool website that has bunches of information about former presidents...check it out if you get a chance! That's where I found that Reagan was the only one ever divorced.

If you can be a coke-head and liquor drunk for years and the get elected president as a "Moral Leader" then divorce should be no problem at all.

Most Churches allow divorce but few condone the use of cocaine or liquor.

I think Bush already addressed this on his 2000 run for the presidency and didn't deny it. Very Old news real old news. Most religions forgive sinners if they come to their senses last time I checked. Most people when young do stupid unmentionable things and then growup . Thats the problem Liberals never grow up. Being a little judgemental are we Frost?
