Tennessee Republican David Hooven has vowed not to be alone with “a member of another sex” if elected to the state’s House of Representatives, as “from Presidents to janitors all are tempted.” Hooven made the pledge on his official campaign website, where he said that if elected “my primary focus will be to honor God.”

    I mean it sounds a heck of a lot more like he doesn’t want to create any room for false accusations. I know professors who follow this logic and don’t hold private meetings with any students primary out of protection of themselves from being accused of something. If you’re a politician with enemies I can at least see the logic to some extent.

      That is standard, but what this nut is saying is that he wont do it because of God, not what you are talking about.
