I don't disagree. I do find it telling, though, what some apologists will put up with for ideology.

I would advise Congressman McAllister to resign immediately.

We -- we Republicans, we Democrats, we Americans -- need people in Washington who can and will stay focused on the tasks at hand, and will not cause embarrassment to themselves, their supporters, and their colleagues. And if they do embarrass us, please have the grace to get off the stage. It's much easier to forgive people who show genuine remorse by working on their issues away from the spotlight.

That was pretty apparent after 8 years of Billy Boy.

Politicians been getting some on the side since the days of the founding fathers. Nothing new there. It takes a special kind of stupid to buy into family values propaganda from a politician.

If his wife can't trust him, we, people he doesn't even know, should trust him? Going back to the founding fathers is somewhere you don't want to go.

He's a father of five, soon to be formerly married for 16 years, who was apparently doing his part time staff member (no pun intended) who is/soon to be was married to his . . . childhood friend.

I miss the old days. in a grudgefuck like this, people would just start shooting.

You watch too much House of Cards. There's plenty of committed politicians out there. There are also plenty of scumbags. To write off family values because of the scumbags is ridiculous.

So I should stop promoting family values because a politician that promotes family values is cheating on his wife? I don't see the logic.

I'll bet he was opposed to murder and child molestation, too. I guess those causes are shot for all of the rest of us now, too.

Guys this stuff could happen to either side. The thing that bothers me the most is the childhood friend angle of it. Someone who would do that to a buddy. Hopefully none of you have come across a scumbag like that but I did in college. The guy was an attractive guy. He was my roommate for a year. Had the sweetest girlfriend. Had life by the balls in every way possible.

A group went to Jamaica. He snuck a brick of weed back in the laundry of "a buddy". He slept with friends girlfriends. Money would always come up missing when he was around. He was a social path in pretty much every sense of the word. I always said he would be in prison or a millionaire. I caught up with someone that knows him from our college days on a golf trip a couple of years back. He makes a couple of million a year selling coiled steel out of Detroit.

Crazy

Yea, well, unfortunately, he's an advocate of gay bashing public policy.

he was supported in his campaign by a reality TV show star that happens to hold an opinion that the forces of PC consider to be thought crime.

No, just the first sexual predator.

No. He's just an example of how you ignore it when it's one of your guys. You sure it wasn't your shirt instead of the blue dress where the deposit was made. That's the level of your allegiance.

What if he had been caught kissing another man?

earlier in this thread, I considered saying, "hey, it was a chick this time. and it didn't take place in an airport men's room. by virtually any measure, this is progress".

I think John F. Kennedy took home that prize.

Well to hear you tell it, Slick Willy just slipped and his d!ck went into Lewinsky's mouth. You explain things for the unwashed masses. OOPS!

Pretty sure all of JFK's advances were consensual.

Guy's a scumbag...
...but has fine taste:



Adultery is what it is, but yeah, politicians as an occupation seem to be more predisposed to this type of behavior compared to most others. That Alpha Male feeling of power and take-what-they-want invicibility. Even more amusing when part of their platform centers on harping about "family values."

On a side note, the focus always typically focuses on the married dude caught with his pants down (figuratively and literally), but most of these "other women" are also married themselves. As is the case with this one.
