“Harry Truman once said, ‘I would never knowingly hire a man to work for me who cheated on his wife,’ “ said Richard Land, who heads a commission on ethics and religious liberty for the 16.4-million strong Southern Baptists. “His reasoning was thus: If a man will break his oath of marriage, he’ll break his oath of office. … I would say you could draw the same conclusion that someone who’s in his third marriage would not fit that standard of integrity and character, be it Giuliani or Gingrich.” – Free Republic.com
