Rampant Pearl Clutching (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024795673)

Married Congresscritter caught screwing around with a staff member. Keeps his job but fires her.
The Fundie hypocrisy is being covered quite well on other threads. I find myself more outraged at the economic injustice here (and in other cases): these men refuse to step down from positions of power, but ruin the lives of the women they are fooling around with.
"And of course, he’s a big “family values†guy. “Representative†Vance McAllister, a “Christian†with a wife and five kids was caught on camera canoodling with a married staff member. Depressingly common behavior for “Republican†Fundagelicals, you’ll agree. And after he got caught, he decided to keep his cushy job and fire the woman with whom he was f***ing around. Sadly, that too is common.
Here is the likewise-common “values†campaign statement:
McAllister ran on a faith and family-based platform and featured his wife and five children in campaign ads. “Here at the McAllister house, we have a big family breakfast every Sunday before church. Kelly does the cooking, and I do the dishes,†McAllister said of his wife during a campaign ad. “It’s here in this house that Kelly and I worked to instill the values of faith, family, and country in our five children. If you will trust me with your vote, you can count on me to take those values to Washington.â€
Here is a picture of him living his real values with Mrs. Melissa Anne Hixon Peacock:
And here is (part) of what he said after getting busted:
Peacock has been “taken off the payroll in the past 24 hours,†according to The News-Star, who spoke with McAllister’s chief of staff. The congressman said that he will run for re-election, “unless there is an outcry for me not to serve, and so far there has been an outpouring of support, not for my actions, but for me to continue to represent the people.â€
Dafuq? No, really, dafuq???? Two married people, both cheating on their spouses. One keeps his six-figure gig, and shit-cans the other. The Congressman keeps his gig and fires the woman he was using.
That, if you like, is “Republican outreach to womenâ€. Females, you have been warned. The GOP will screw you big-time, whether or not they kiss you first."

I heard a great quote once: "If you can't trust a man to be faithful in his marriage, you can't trust him in business transactions either."
Of course this will be labelled a war on women, chance to slam Christianity, everything!

3. He's just displaying the TRUE face of Republican men (outright hypocrites)
but as long as corporate media keeps a lid on this scandal (something they'd never afford a Democrat!), he's sittin', well, pretty isn't a word I'd describe that bloated bastard, but you get the drift.
How long did that John Edwards scandal take to break again? hmmm...

22. Republican values are disgusting
Republicans have no integrity or honor whatsoever as they prove once again
Wish the primitives would be more clear, either the values are disgusting or they don't have any. Can't have it both ways.

36. She's a woman. Conservatives drop their women when they aren't useful any more.
My first instinct is with you and affords her the benefit of the doubt -- he's shafting the woman in more ways than one.
But we must allow for the possibility that perhaps she was on the payroll and didn't do any real work except polish his knobs.
All the same, let's give her the benefit of the doubt and our support until more facts come to light and probably even beyond that.
Hillary was still useful, so Bill decided to keep with her, right?

Are you serious? I will admit there are some bad apples here and there. They are human after all. But if we really did an equal honest comparison the score would be like 10,000-30. And I am not talking about policy or ideology. I am talking about illegal acts and or affiliations with groups who commit illegal acts.
I will start off with..
Ted Kennedy
Throw in a little Robert Byrd
End with a little Clinton.
I really don't have time to put the other 9,997.

And there's this denial from a former (then) president "I did not have sex with that woman." Couldn't even say her name - how dehumanizing is that, DUmmies.
But on the plus side, he didn't leave her in a car to drown.

Democrats care so much about women they pay them less so they can use them as political pawns.
Dick Durbin pays female staffers $11K less than men, on average (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/apr/8/sen-dick-durbin-pays-female-staffers-11k-less-men-/)

And what about Hillary? What a weak bitch. Women's rights huh? Give me a ****ing break.

Weak bitch protected her rapist husband....should call Hillary "Trailer Hitch" because she hooked her little red wagon to Bill Clinton to get where she is today.

And it was the National Enquirer(of all papers) that kept pushing that issue.

Primitive Hypocrisy- Presidential BJ's good/ Congressman kissing bad
From the looks of that tape, a few congressional BJs have been involved as well.

According to the nadin search I did to remind me of the Congress-shit's name, some no-ties to anybody homeless guy was convicted for her murder in 2001.

I love how they get all Victorian and sanctimonious. At least he didn't shove a cigar in her twat, DUmbasses.
