Is McCain a “world-class womanizer”?

It’s absurd for John McCain, who was a world class womanizer, to be the candidate of the anti-abortion voters. Men like McCain are the primary cause of abortion. You can’t decouple abortion from overall sexual morality.LA replies:
Calling McCain a “world class womanizer” is not fair. According to all the accounts I’ve read, in 1973 McCain came back from his five and a half years of imprisonment and torture in North Vietnam, severely injured and permanently disabled, and found that his wife had been severely injured and disabled from a car accident, and much changed. Among other things, as a result of 23 operations, she was now five inches shorter. He lived with her, apparently without any infidelity, for about four years, then around 1977 began having adulterous affairs until he met his current wife in 1979 and commenced an affair with her. Then in 1980 he divorced his first wife and married his current wife. There have been no serious allegations of infidelity during the 28 years of his second marriage.Greco writes:
Your point about labeling McCain a “world class womanizer” is well taken. In a world where Wilt Chamberlain and Gene Simmons have boasted of having thousands of sex partners, the bar for “world class” is set pretty high.Greco writes:
I was hoping you would blog about the faith forum at Saddleback Church yesterday, because McCain’s stories of his POW period were compelling … more compelling coming from his own mouth than they’ve stuck me in writing. The irony is, there’s a group of Vietnam veterans out there who despise McCain. It has to do with the complicated politics of the POW recovery movement of the ’80s … or something. If you ever have time, visit Vietnam Veterans Against John McCain. It will boggle your mind, the viciousness of it.Adela G. writes:
