Check in if you've been married fewer times than Rush Limbaugh

[Sandpiper]

I know that since I'm a liberal, I'm supposedly against family values and everything that is perceived as good and wholesome by Rush and the wingnuts.

But in the wake of Mr. Family Values' third divorce, I just wanted to make a point that I've been married two fewer times than El Pigboy has, and I'm still married.

BTW, so has Bill Clinton. (Ha Ha!!!!)

So check in if you've been married fewer times than the voice of "family values" conservatives.

[Darkseid69]

1. I'm on my third

That count?

[progressivebydesign]

69. Fourth! But who's counting?

Do the two that lasted less than a year count? If Brittney can do it, why can't I? Rather than think of myself as flawed, or afraid of committment, I like to think of myself as free-spirited!

BTW.. This marriage is going strong at 5 years.. a record for me! And it's blissful! Fourth time's a charm! :loveya:

[eleny]

2. been married to the same guy for 26 years

hrmph!

[notadmblnd]

3. I've been married once and I stuck it out til death do us part

We had a lot of crap thrown at us over the years, but we stuck it out. We fulfilled our commitment to each other.

on edit: and I'm not even christian

[Bluzmann57]

4. Once and only once

I did co-habitate with a woman for entirely too many years, but now that I'm married to this one, I intend to stay married. She's great. And I had a hand in raising both of my kids and one of hers. So there!

[drfemoe]

5. Marta's leaving?

whaaaaaaa . lol

[redqueen]

6. Checking in

lol... Mr. "Family Values"... lol

You mean the guy with the Oxycontin habit? Him? The guy who dodged the draft because he had assboils? That guy?

:7

[displacedtexan]

7. One marriage (29 years)

One is enough.

[AlCzervik]

8. I'm a filthy liberal

thats has been married for almost 14 years.

[Catch22Dem]

9. One wife - 12 years

13 years together.

[wryter2000]

10. Once

And about to have my 25th anniversary.

[MASSAFRA]

11. ONLY ONE

We are staying together for the dog.

[Sandpiper]

12. And a shout out to my Mom and Dad

Celebrating 30 years married this month.

[Beaverhausen]

34. My mom and dad- 51 years on Sunday

me...not once but I'm hopeful...

My mom and dad really did tough it out through some bad times. :toast: :hug:

[terrya]

13. Well, since I'm gay, I can't legally get married. And reading about this..

fills me with rage. How fucking unfair, ONCE AGAIN. A would be champion of "family values" cavailierly gets another goddamned divorce and will be allowed to remarry again.

[Sandpiper]

16. Unfair indeed

Maybe it's just that Rush finds marriage so sacred, he wants to participate in it as often as possible.

[graham67]

22. Rush...

is a serial monogamist. :)

[Bunny]

21. It's grotesque Terry.

Simply grotesque. Rush is free to begin #4 and you and your SO (Doug, is it?)can't even try #1. What a crock of shite. :mad:

[terrya]

31. Bunny, we could if I moved up to Canada.. But that's not the point.

That fat, pill popping bastard is an opponent of gay marriage. Because, it would "threaten the sancitity of marriage". Meanwhile, he's on marriage # 4 and can get married again just like that.

Honey, it's the nauseating hyprocrisy of these people. And here it is again, for all the world to see.

Yes, it is Doug. And thank you for remembering. :-) And thank you for the comment.

[Bunny]

32. I know hon. It's a crying shame.

I have every confidence that it will someday change though. Maybe it will be too late for you and Doug, but Americans are ultimately fair-minded people. We will eventually see the error of our ways, and the road will be paved for our friends in the GLBT community to finally take their seat at the table.

[terrya]

38. Bunny, it is going to happen. It's generational, for one thing.

Younger Americans are in favor of gay marriage. Plus, it's already...slowly...happening. The opposition in this country is slowly beginning to drop. And we should thank people like Gavin Newsom and the Massachusetts Supreme Court for helping it happen. :-)

[Bunny]

42. Yes - they deserve a huge thanks.

And may we someday soon all raise a toast to you and Doug on your wedding day! :toast:

[mzmolly]

dup

[mzmolly]

14. Married once. Considering my options though ... *cough*

;)

[Worst Username Ever]

15. Bachelor

27 yrs old, plenty of time.

[samhonk]

17. Still married & going strong

and this is on the first try!

I did have a pilonidal cyst, though, but I never used it to avoid military service and then go on to say how we ought to blow everything up so long as I could stay safe at home and get really fat and abuse prescription drugs while saying that more people should go to prison for drugs. I just got it removed.

So I guess I'm not much like the Vulgar Pigboy after all.

[tech3149]

only once for me

I don't think I could ever do better that what I lost.

[tech3149]

18. only once for me

I don't think I could ever do better that what I lost.

[camby]

19. Only Once

And liberal through and through. But then again, neither one of us is a big pompous ass millionaire junkie like el rushbo.

[sadiesworld]

20. Celebrated my 8th anniversary last month...

first marriage. (Husband's 2nd but his 1st wife passed away)

[k in IA]

23. Married high school sweetheart. Still together - married 13 years,

together (gulp) 20 years.

[boxster]

30. Wow, sounds like us. Married 13, together 18.

And the next state over (Nebraska).

[kalian]

24. On my first....and most likely last marriage.

On edit: been married to my wife now for 6 years. Been together
since 92.
What a commie, filthy, good for nothing liberal that has no morals.
:evilgrin:

[TexasSissy]

25. Married once...but divorced once. Shameful Dem with

no values, I guess.

[Bandit]

26. Been married to the same woman for twenty-five years now

and we are still honeymooners.

[Cheswick2.0]

27. I have only been married once

And the only marriage of another beloved Democrat, Al Gore, has also endured.
Howard Dean has only been married once.

We are just chock full of family values in my favorite wing of the democratic party.

[Sandpiper]

39. 34 years for Al and Tipper

n/t

[spooky3]

46. John & Elizabeth Edwards are another good example. While other Dems

may not have been as fortunate, they also aren't hypocrites like the Repugs. Dems who have struggled with family matters generally aren't running around telling others about "family values" and criticizing others' lives.

[Cheswick2.0]

58. exactly

I hope Rush learns a little humility one of these days.

[tandot]

28. divorced twice. one of them was a freeper shithead

he is still angry that I left him...14 years ago...

[OneTwentyoNine]

29. Only once--twenty years this year on October 20th....

So stick those LIBERAL values up your ASS Rush!!


I was going to upgrade my computer which is getting a tad slow after two years but....I'm going to blow about $1500.00 or more on a new ring for my lovely wife--and she votes Republican...Heh he....


David

[WiltedFlowerChild]

33. Once

28 years

[LiberalFighter]

35. Haven't been married...

haven't found someone yet.

Parents have been married for 51+ years.

[Vickers]

36. With her for 17 years, married for the last 12 years

And never felt the need to self-anesthetize with OxyContin during that whole time!

[Mikimouse]

37. Beginning my second divorce now, at the request of...

my wife! dammit, I really thought we had a great realtionship until the last three years, when everything fell apart. So, I guess I'll just shut up about family matters.

[Mountainman]

40. Married 2 times

I should have waited and married my second wife first and then it would have been only once for me.

[mopaul]

41. once. 33 years. quite happy

[spooky3]

43. just once

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

44. Once is enough..

The "oul fella" and I will be married 24 years in August, even though we are both "scum sucking liberals" and God forbid, he's even an immigrant.

[Lindacooks]

45. Same guy for 23 years

My parents, married for 47 years.

Younger sister, married 18 years.

ALL FIRST (and most probably last) marriages.

[Sandpiper]

47. 71 years for my great grandparents

They got married in 1910 when he was 18 and she was 16, and stayed married until his death in 1981.

[ScreamingMeemie]

48. Once for me...and happily, even through "stressful times"

:hi:

[wellstone_democrat]

49. Bad, bad twice married liberal here!

One short one as a youngster, one that's going strong for 15 years. Obviously, I , unlike that human pustule, can learn from *my* mistakes

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

50. Only once (and holding)

It's my wife's fault, really. She has terrible taste in men.

[goclark]

51. Twice

[mcar]

52. One and only

19 years :)

[PoiBoy]

53. 30 years and 4 kids later..

..never been happier.. :hi:

[Athletic Grrl]

60. Aloha PoiBoy!

Welcome to DU! :hi:

Just one marriage to my credit here. We celebrate 10 years this August.

[jmowreader]

54. Same number of marriages as Bill Clinton

but only 11 years.

My extremely liberal sister has been married 13 years to the same guy, and it's her first too.

My slightly-right-leaning sister has gone home to mother four times, but remains married after 25 years. (Okay, okay, three of those four times were during the Reagan Administration, and she brought the husband and children with her.)

My conservative-but-not-quite-a-freeper sister is on her second husband.

My freeper brother can't even make it to the altar; he's been engaged to six women, all of whom dumped his ass. (One of them dumped him because he's a freeper; the other five because he's a long-haul truck driver who's never home. We're in the process of attempting to find him a freeper girlfriend with a Class A CDL.)

Only liberals can maintain a marriage.

[shraby]

55. Married once

been with the same man for since 1961. I say it was cause we both didn't want a divorce at the same time. :toast:

[devinsgram]

56. Married second time, but only after being widowed.

[doni_georgia]

57. Been married only once - husband and I have been married 12 years

[Q]

59. A liberal married to a liberal for 24 years...

...and going strong. And, oh yeah, neither of us is a stinking drug addict like Rush. Shouldn't this guy at least be in rehab?

[alittlelark]

61. married once, and still - to HS sweetheart

who I have been with for 25 years, and married to for 12.

We're both athiests - we got married only because we wanted to have children - we knew we'd always be together and didn't need to get married.

But, realistically, in order to maximize resources and legal protections for our future children we got married (only 60 guests, and DAMN what a party!!!).

2 kids later -no more- we're happy and still married.

[demigoddess]

62. 37 years for me and my hubby and I am too young to

fit in more than one. Maybe we should give Rush advice emails.

[Qanisqineq]

63. just one

[dsc]

64. Zero times

It isn't like I was banned from marrying or anything (no wait it was like that). In any case it does warm the cockles of my heart when people like Rush have the immense nerve to lecture people like me about morality.

[Bjornsdotter]

65. Married...18 years and counting n/t

[TNMOM]

66. seven years, one spouse...

[powergirl]

67. One time, same man for 10 years and 3 kids

Will stay married to him forever. I love that man - A DEMOCRAT. :)


I love how all these Republican heroes who tout family values have been married SOOOOOOOO many times - for a list see below - girlfriends not included.

Reagan- 2 wives
Gingrich - 3
Bob Barr - 3
Kay Bailey Hutchison - 2
Morris - 2

[burythehatchet]

68. Two here

on edit

and two divorces :)

[Cheneys_former_heart]

70. Only once-if this ain't the real thing then I give up

Happily married, but if this doesn't work out then I just give up!

[otohara]

71. Two...

I don't count the first one, we were kids wanting to get away from our parents, knew the first week I would divorce him.

[Walt Starr]

72. I've only ever been married the one time

and that marriage is still going strong!

[49jim]

73. My wife and I are registered

democrats and have been since we could vote. Oh...and we will be celebrating our 33rd wedding anniversary tomorrow. We've only been married once!

[Iris]

74. I'm still married to the first person I slept with; but I'm a liberal and

have no morals!
