Guess this judgement will label a lot of posters here on STalk with the same brush.

The issue I have with her is that when she tells her story there is no mention of BM, she lays claim to something that is not true. You can love and raise someone else's kids all day long but you have to give credit where credit is due.

She could have said that she has seen what addiction does first hand in families as she watched her husband deal with the death of his child, her step child that she had grown to love....blah blah blah.... but she didn't say that instead she has made this part of her life a political ploy and platform.

A affair wouldn't keep me from voting for her, God knows how many President's have had affairs but she does seem to pick and choose what sins she likes to stand behind.

The writer of this article writes for an online "news" blog. Seems they cherry picked quotes in order to make her look bad. Additionally, they didn't list their sources.

Do not believe everything you read online.

It says filed for divorce and gives no details. The article was vague and designed as a smear campaign.

The marriage may have ended already and they could have been legally separated prior to filing for divorce. Her entry into her now H's life may not have anything to do with the divorce.

There may have been a ton of extenuating circumstances in his first marriage, none of which may have had anything to do with Carly Fiorina.

I'm not a supporter of this person, however I don't like to see unfair and unbalanced "journalism". The alleged facts are worded in a way to make her look like a home wrecker.

If you're going to decide on whom to vote for based on if they've copped to their sins or not, then you're never going to vote for any politician because they're all s**tbags.

Thank you. I've got a bad headache today and you nailed what I was trying to express.

I never said who I was voting for or not voting for, I never said all 3 articles were ALL based on facts but I will say again that I think she embellished her story.

Goodness. Look at most people's resumes! Speak with anyone who works in HR. People embellish all the freakin' time.

Check out the dating scene. Most folks wouldn't get a second date if they didn't embellish a bit. Or completely whitewash. Blum 3

Granted we hold our political figures to higher standards than we do ourselves. Although, I have a birth certificate which I can produce.

Sueu2 - I didn't see it but I heard great things about it. In fact one of my favorite clips is from that show.

I have blocked more garbage on FB in the last several months, because friends and families in both arenas are posting links to nothing but garbage websites with "news" stories. Stories about politics and politicians (both parties). They are all passing along gossip as though it's fact.

I weep for this next election season. Ignorance about the people and issues is going to create an incredible amount of chaos in our country in 2016.

It's very frustrating how much I have to dig to get to the truth.

Meh - there are plenty of people here on step talk who got involved with their significant others while they themselves or the significant other was already "spoken for."

I typically am a champion of finishing one thing before starting another, and have given my opinion on that here on step talk. I usually get bashed for it.

As stepparents and biological parents, we tend to be very hyper focused on these types of things. I have no doubt that my skids BM calls my kids her kids-doesn't really bother me. My DH calls my kids his kids. Doesn't really bother me.

LOLOL, love this. I was with my SO before his divorce was final. I met him after he and BM split but before the final papers were signed.
