The latest batch of manufactured outrage on the left has been produced by the Mike and Karen Pence profile that revealed some tools Mike uses to live out his marital vow of faithfulness. As Anika Smith wrote here at The Stream:
Mike and Karen Pence abide by a version of the Billy Graham Rule. In a 2002 interview, then- congressman Pence said he doesn’t drink without his wife present, nor does he dine alone with other women.
This common-sense rule stands out in a town like DC, where many, many marriages have fallen apart because of affairs.
As Smith’s piece pointed out, feminists on social media looked for ways to cast the Pences’ mutually agreed upon rule for their marriage as dehumanizing for women. Or something.
It amazes me that the same secular relativists who will defend any sexual fetish will presume to remark on the details of a marriage. Aren’t both of the Pences “consenting adults”? If fidelity is their kink, who are we to judge?
h/t Aunt Liz.
No contest between the two–I would rather be married to someone like Mike Pence (and I am) than Weiner. I do not get the liberal/progressive/communist women’s angst except that he is a conservative.
That’s a no brainer. There’s no contest between the two. Only one of them is a man.
It’s called “morals”, liberals. Look it up. A lot of us dummies that live in fly-over country still believe in it.
Do you see where Bill O’Reilly has settled five sexual harassment lawsuits?
And remember how bimbos came out of the woodwork with accusations against Mr. Trump, and Herman Cain?
How can you possibly accuse VP Pence of doing anything wrong by having his wife present at any and all meetings he has with women?
I’ve had a couple business lunches with women. Very, very uncomfortable. And I couldn’t really tell you exactly why.
As Penn or Teller would say: BULLSHIT!
I once invited a girl to lunch who had typed a resume for me. Mr. Mow said I could just as well sent her some flowers. But I had already made the reservations. Shit! But I’m a Pence type.
I almost once had lunch with our lost friend Sedra Varga, Greeting from Yonkers. RIP. It didn’t work out.
For Ant’ny Weiner, having zero morals, character, taste, or class is convenient. Me thinks when he kisses his missus, he tastes Bubba’s missus.
Married the Pense type…wouldn’t want to trade him for anyone and he goes out with me and only me.
I own his a** 🙂
It isn’t just Pence that follows that principle, many men don’t dine alone with women not their wives or close family members. It appears Trump doesn’t either or we probably would have been inundated with those photos during the October sexual harassment smearing. Being in the public eye, having higher political aspirations it makes perfect sense plus he respects his wife and marriage. Only an angry liberal wouldn’t understand that and find it offensive.
Pence shouldn’t speak in terms of protecting his marriage, but in terms of not giving fake news outlets a chance to start rumors and blow an innocent lunch with an underling out of proportion.
Lemme see…
Race Banner or… a child molesting weiner who might be even uglier than Doctor Zin.
In most church societies men and women often hug only shoulder to shoulder, not frontally, for the same reason. The evil one will use any and every circumstance to tempt in hopes of eventually catching a fish who thinks they are holier than they really are. It’s hard enough, sometimes, for men to keep their thoughts under control, add alcohol and opportunity and the next thing you know…
As a Christian, Pence is right to protect himself so vigorously. This is why the Left is clueless.
Satan is trying to pervert every aspect of our lives. He is succeeding with liberals.
As I look at weiner with his bat shit
crazy look on his face sexting leather’s
and a child I would just die if that was my
mug in those nasty pix.Pence ain’t perfect but
God bless him and his fine family.
My Husband had just better not EVER find any “reason” to have a meal with a woman without my being there. JUST. BETTER. NOT.

Your inner horn dog had other ideas?
or
You know it LOOKS like a date from afar and that can be trouble even if it’s all biz?
No contest. Give me a man with morals any day. While my husband (of 26 years) and I don’t have the same hard and fast rule, neither of us has ever given the other a reason to distrust. The thought of being married to a slimeball like Weiner makes my skin crawl.
Society worldwide is so screwed-up, that as one of the few decent couples in public life, the Pences are the hip ones.
Their critics are lemmings who debased themselves searching cluelessly for hipness.
(Clutches pearls) How DARE he take away the media’s ability to potentially create an infidelity narrative? He may as well be stealing the food from Rachel Maddow’s mouth!
