Well, it would be a way of clearing the 2008 field of some of the yuckier White House hopefuls (One question: Will we be STONING the sinners too?)

'Patriot Pastor' Call to Imprison Adulterers
Could Thin Presidential Primary


Televangelist and Ohio "Patriot Pastor" leader Rod Parsley's Center for Moral Clarity is urging the revival of long-dormant laws against adultery in states such as Michigan, where adultery is technically a felony, although no one has been prosecuted for 36 years.

In an e-mail update to its supporters, the Center noted with approval the remark of an appeals court judge that a Michigan statute criminalizing sex involving commission of a felony, when combined with the law making adultery a felony, could lead to life in prison. "Lawmakers and judges in Michigan are holding married couples accountable for their vows of fidelity," touted CMC, adding that "The rest of the nation should take a look at the Michigan statute. Criminal laws are designed to force people to conform to certain acceptable standards of personal behavior. Most of society's code of conduct has its roots in the 10 Commandments."

"Adultery is a violation of biblical instruction as well as an offense against the other partner in what should be a sacred relationship," said Parsley. But given his history of involvement in Republican politics, where will that leave him in 2008, with frontrunning presidential candidates McCain and Giuliani, along with potential dark horse Gingrich, each allegedly carrying an adulterous past that, in Parsley's world, would put them behind bars?

I guess it wouldn't be adultry but does anyone know how many wives Romney has?

And wasn't Duncan Hunter one of those crooked congressmen availing himself of the prostitutes at the "poker parties" Brent Wilkes was throwing in DC?

Here is my idea. Just hire a private detective now. Anyone who is this militant about this issue has a skeleton in his own closet.

Just out these hypocrites sooner rather than later.
