OMG here's another one of these loons.

NPR: Mississippi Gubernatorial Candidate's Condition For Female Reporter: Bring A Man
Robert Foster made a promise to his high school sweetheart before they got married: he would never be alone with another woman he wasn't related to under any circumstances, be it in an office, a farm or a truck.

On Sunday that meant denying a female journalist's request to ride along with him as he campaigned to become Mississippi's next governor — unless she agreed to bring a male colleague along for the trip.

"I put my wife and my Christian beliefs above anyone else's feelings or opinions ... and I did not want there to be a perception that I was riding with another female and that something promiscuous was going on or anything like that," Foster, a first-term Republican state representative, explained to NPR.
This is bizarre. Is this in the Bible somewhere? Are they afraid of temptation? Of being falsely accused?

Does it apply to elderly women? :rolleyes:

That's not romantic, it's creepy. Where's the trust in that relationship?

Do they realize this might be in compliance with Sharia Law? :p
 
I thought of another possible reason. These guys are insecure and what they really want is their wives to make the same pledge not to be alone with a man.
 
Could just force her into a burka so he won't see any tempting flesh.
 
That's the kind of promise a closet homosexual makes.

Possibly, but I think that it's a calculated attack on the press and the #metoo movement. He is saying that she would fabricate a sexual assault allegation against him because she is part of a left wing conspiracy against "right minded" people.

This is the same message that President Trump is selling - the press is against me and women always lie when they allege sexual assault - so it's likely to be lapped up by the Mississippi GOP. :(
 
I would love to see someone ask him why men don't need to be chaperoned.
If his word that he did nothing wrong with a woman he was alone with isn't trustworthy, then how can a claim that he's straight and wouldn't do anything wrong with a man be any more trustworthy?

The issue isn't that he is concerned that he may not be able to contain his lustful thoughts, it's that the reporter will make a false claim of sexual assault against him because she is part of that huge left wing conspiracy - the free press. :mad:

But if I were an evil liberal wanting to damage his career, then having a man claim he was sexually assaulted would be just as effective wouldn't it? Even better if I can get a high school kid working for his school newspaper alone with him.
He's really underestimating the left wing conspiracy isn't he?
 
Well, the reporter's hot, but about 25 years too old for Roy Moore, so I guess she's going to have to forego getting ahold of some of that hot fundie man meat all womens want, at least in Missibama(or is that Allassippi).

Good call :D
 
It always seems to be the ugly ones who go in terror that everybody wants to seduce them. Dude looks like Chucky, he's probably safe.

And am I the only person in the world who thinks Pence might be in the closet?

Maybe just because I want to think the worst about him. Not the sexuality; the hypocrisy.

Well, officially he is saying it is a "moral" issue. Which means that, if you what say is true, he is lying. So not quite so moral.
