“A Republican candidate for the New York state Senate ended her campaign on Wednesday after announcing that she had a recent affair.
“I have made personal decisions that have ultimately resulted in the necessity of my stepping down from the campaign,” Gia Arnold wrote on her campaign’s Facebook page. “I participated in an extramarital affair beginning in August of this year. It was an excuse for an escape from an already declining marriage. I cannot regret the decisions I have made, but I can admit to being happier presently than before.”
“It is for my ex husband, my children, my family and friends that I must publicly admit to my actions as I believe honesty and integrity are of utmost importance in life,” she added.” *

“Bought in to the Conservative view of marriage”, the news anchor says. Hmmm. I wonder how you would feel if your Mom and Dad decided not to be married and either one of you grew up without a two parent household? I think you need to step back and check yourself, because I bet $$ that both of you anchors had both parents and I bet you ended up with the lives you have because of that. The female news anchor further states that she agrees with this woman cheating on her husband. Really? How about being an honorable person and divorcing first, then having a relationship? How much $$ you want to bet that the guy she cheated with is married? And the bottom line here is the most important, what about her children? Not one word about how this affects them and what turmoil they must be going through.
