Yup, yet another strongly religous "family values" GOP state congressman resigns after caught having an affair.

Apparently he recorded video of sex acts with another woman, and he accidentally (or possibly someone else) sent it to everyone in his phone's contact list.

This is the same guy that co-sponsored the Indiana anti-gay "religious freedom" law. What a nice guy.

Why is it all these religious types are cheating? I thought they were supposed to be loyal to their wives, and the godless heathens were the ones having affairs.

Now he is going to "spend more time with his family". LOL

Solution is for Republicans to be more like the Democrats?

It's weird how things have changed. Clinton notwithstanding, we see Republicans having sex scandals and Democrats having financial scandals. What's up with that?

Bang younger tail and more or less get away with it? Yeah, they'd probably be ok with that. :) Weird isn't it? Bill Clinton has more political savvy and influence than a lot of his peers after that scandal than most across the aisle have with no or less noteworthy scandals. He's not exactly in hiding like John Edwards, or even kinda hiding like W. I guess if Hillary could forgive and move on I guess most others figured they could too.


But as a matter of fact it seems like someone already took you up on the idea.

Those two Michigan Tea Party gems who got kicked out of office at 4am (hahaha) gave it a whirl and whodathunkit! Now they're under criminal investigation!

Who says the tea party doesn't have ideas!? In this case, Mr. Courser decided he'd try to 'throw off the hounds' by doing some fake blackmail, by starting a rumor that he was actually having a gay extramarital affair.

Now that's thinking outside the box!:biggrin:

You mean not being hypocrites on sex and morals, or not impeaching a sitting President over lies?

Be more specific.

No like Hilary being a hypocrite on sexual assault, in 2015 interview says women need to be "heard and believed,

except when her husband is assaulting women, then well you might be labeled a "narcissistic loony toon.”

The first conservative brain damaged poster into the thread immediately counters with some off the wall accusation that Democrats are plagued by financial scandals as if Republicans weren't.

Republicans have scum ball sex lives because they were perverted as children with the notions of sex is evil and that evil is actually where all the fun is. They grow up hiding their real sexual proclivities from the world because their culture both worships and condemns pleasure that isn't earned by suffering.

Moral straight jackets are worn by the perverted to remind them they are insane. Naturally they don't like being exposed as garbage. "Look over there at that nasty Democrat. His puss sack is as big as mine." But without the psychological ignorance that accompanies the CBD, there will be no other who can compare in mental illness.

Claiming the moral high ground and then burdening oneself with that heavy cross gets pretty old what with all of the usual backstabbing, two-timing, double-crossing, back door dealing, fork-tongued two-faced lying and deceiving going on in the halls of high gov't. Yet, those in one party is somehow closer to God than the folks in the other party just because they say so? Ah yes, all one has to do is ask for forgiveness. The Repubs do that and the De(mon)ms don't. That right there makes all the difference right there, don't it?

Well, hell's bells, what's a fella to do for some stress relief and for relieving the pain and agony that results from hefting that heavy cross everywhere he goes? Everybody knows that that extreme stress is the perfect tool for the Evil One to corrupt the high morals that every Repub politician get blessed with the moment they declare their fealty to the Party of Godly Goodness.

Surely, a monumental task for any mortal man.

Just ask Jimmy Swaggert, or the Bakker's, or Billy Graham, or all of those other holier-than-thou's who succumbed to....gasp!... *The Beast* --> (you know, those godless Democrats, misled-Muslims and other such heathen, those vile evil bastards!).

Enough with this "Party of Higher Morals" illusion that the righties like to swagger(t) around with. My bet is there are just as many good Christians that are liberals as there are conservatives, and just as many bad ones on both sides.

The only difference I see is that a bunch of religious fundamentalist zealots have gathered on the right and have branded any Christians on the left as being unclean, unworthy and "unholier-than-I" via guilt by association. A very Christian-like thing to do huh?

Ass bandits don't have to resign when they get caught with their hand in the cookie jar. People expected it. Only shameful hypocrite family values platform idiots have to resign. Carry on...

there is a BIG difference between a politician that preaches and supports laws for one thing and does the exact opposite. it's called hypocrisy and many republicans have mastered it.

Clinton never preached or supported such hypocritical laws.

apples are not oranges.

Half the people who voted for the guy have probably had affairs of their own. I dont see what the big deal is. People have to stop this political correct bs. We're about to elect a president that is slamming his fists over this political correct nonsense but people are still getting hung up on it. Judge them for what they do in their professional life, not who they screw.

so you support politicians who are lying hypocrites, as long as they are republican.

and we aren't about to elect anyone trying to stop political correctness.

do you realize how ironic your " Judge them for what they do in their professional life, not who they screw" statement is? if you are really judging them on their professional life, including their hypocritical lies, then who they screw can't be ignored because it is proof of their lies.

going by your logic, the fact that Dennis Hastert was a pedophile doesn't matter.

Someone needs to explain to me how and when Bill Clinton FORCED his lifestyle (or view of a lifestyle) on the American people. Because Unokitty sure as hell hasn't, nor can.

Democrats have had their sex scandals. Recently it does seem like more Republicans, but as UK pointed out there was Weiner, and there was also John Edwards, Jim McGreevey, Eliot Spitzer.
