As Barney Frank has said Lawmakers should be held to the laws they make. Also I think that politicians who vote against gay rights bills yet have same sex affairs deserve to be outed. See the movie Outrage about them.

As I’m sure you know, the local churches (preferably evangelistic and fundamentalist) are exactly where the next candidate will come from. That way they are guaranteed a base when the local preachers tell their congragations who to vote for from the pulpits (Meanwhile, all the local liberal churches are afraid to do the same because the will get reported by some fundie and lose their own tax exempt status).

Well SteveMD,

Christian morals?

I am a Christian and I am not running from person to person.

Yep…it’s all about family values. I’ve been with my partner eight years this December and never cheated on him.
We still plan to make it a lifetime thing. Too bad we’re not recognized as a “real” family by the government I defended for ten years in the Infantry and that we still support with our taxes.

Christian morals in action.

If his church was anything it professed to be, it would throw him in a public disgrace on the national news.

But no, they want the power and the money

So…does this mean the Tennessee GOP will scour every Baptist church in the area to find a new candidate? Maybe they should just cut to the chase and check truckstops, gay bars, and the bookstores so they can find their next candidate.

Is this tool gonna drag his wife and kids through the mud with himself, in an attempt to salvage his political career?

Well, I guess he stood by his rules about non married people not having sex. He’s married and simply had sex with everyone.

… I think the worst (best?) part of this was not only was he having an affair, but that he was the other-OTHER-man, as the woman already had both a husband AND a boyfriend.
