Amazon 7 #1 May 31, 2010 The punchline: Republicans are actually breathing a sigh of relief after finding out he was cheating with a woman and not a man. If I told you that Paul Stanley was caught having an affair with a winsome young blond girl, you probably wouldn't be shocked. Of course, you'd probably be thinking I was talking about the lead singer of KISS. If I told you that Paul Stanley was a God-fearing and gay-hating family values Republican state senator from Tennessee, you'd probably be even less shocked. Par for the course these days, isn't it? The young girl, McKensie Morrison, was a legislative intern in Stanley's office when the married senator with two children started doing the mattress mambo with her. She's now 22 years old and was, obviously, even younger when this all began. Stanley went to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to report he was being blackmailed by Morrison's boyfriend -- then admitted to them that he was having an affair with her. Oh, you might wanna set your irony meters for their highest possible level (which is "Bill O'Reilly" on mine): "When you're married, there's a commitment there," Stanley said last year, while discussing legislation to prohibit gay people from adopting children. In fact, Stanley was the bill's chief sponsor and he introduced the bill in the legislature. And a few days ago he issued a statement saying that it was unfair to speculate that he might have cheated with the young lady because he was the real victim here: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don't think anything of the 'common man' having extra marital affairs, maybe a 'tsk, tsk' but we tend to hold our 'leaders' above that. We are 'supposed' to look to them as good examples of how leaders should be. Politicians just continue to prove they are no better than the 'common man'... probably much worse!

Brig.-Gen. Daniel Ménard, who is married with two children, was relieved of his command in Afghanistan after military brass became aware of allegations he was involved in an intimate relationship with a female member of his staff. Speaking of military leaders, most historians' consensus is that when then-Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, a married man, was Supreme Allied Commander in Europe during WWII, he probably was having an affair with his aide, Kay Summersby.

They pander to the BASE..who want to hear that FAMILY VALUES buzzword tossed at them as a sign thta this is a safe vote for all that is good and holy. I guess I am just not a big fan of following ......especially those who live by do as I say.... not as they do. Then again.. it seems a VERY large percentage just do as they do anyway.
