Interesting article. Not directly related to the religious right of the Pat Robertson and Jerry Fallwell days of old, but it's telling how people who want to legislate morality through the vehicle of government are acting like amoral ******** in private.

The Patricia Todds of the world feel they have no other choice.

It's when immorality is being legislated that those opposed have to speak up.

Patricia Todd is the most disgusting human being you will ever meet. She is worse than scum of the Earth. She doesn't have a moral bone in her body.

That said, the number of legislators cheating on their wives.... a lot.

Lots of people do subpar things privately. Jessee Jackson got one his employees pregnant, while he was married. Being against gay marriage does not mean one is anti gay. If this lady knows 3 elected lawmakers in Alabama that had affairs (and are against gay marriage) this has nothing to do with defining marriage in the USA as 1 man 1 woman.

What do you mean by this statement? What examples of immorality are you referring to?

We can start with murdering babies.

I'm not praising or criticizing the woman for her values or how she is as a politician. Frankly, I don't think there is single politician that is a good human being - or at least very, very few of them are. Almost all of them have self-serving agendas that ultimately result in them increasing their wealth, power and access to people for sex.

The gov't is not murdering babies. It currently allows abortion as an option for people to pursue - which I'm vehemently opposed to btw except for extreme circumstances like an eptoptic pregnancy for example - to pursue as a personal decision. China, otoh, actually DID murder babies with their one child program. That is very different than what the U.S. currently allows.

I believe abortion is a violation of the right to live as spelled out in the preamble to the constitution.

That's all fine and good.

I just wouldn't get too excited about a hypocrite calling out other hypocrites.

Truth is truth. If a despicable human being is telling the truth, then that's what's important to me.

The Alabama legislature is full of despicable people.

im all for this transparency, regardless of the source.

Not much of a political gamble for Todd. She's pretty popular in her district, and this will probably make her more popular, rather than less.

The citizens voted. That should be all that matters really. Unfortunately the Liberal left believes that they can legitimize their immorality via the Judicial system. It's interesting that this bull dyke is trying to use blackmail to get her way... but the "religious right" is in the wrong here? Is she in their bedrooms to verify the affairs?

How do you know she is telling the truth?

As a person who works with the legislature from time-to-time, she is telling the truth.

Now, she doesn't want people telling her truth though.

I'd be happy to see that. Put a light on all of it.
