After (R) Rep. Resigns In Sex Scandal, Georgia County Elects GOPer Who Had AFFAIR With Mother-In-Law

[Segami]

BWAHAHAHAHA. RepubliCONS always claiming the " Family Values " moral high ground usually end up wallowing in the ditch. :puke:




" Last December, Paulding County lost its representative in the Georgia House when he resigned in a high profile sex and conflict-of-interest scandal.


Glenn Richardson, the family-values Republican who represented the county and was speaker of the house, stepped down after his ex-wife publicly accused him of having "a full-out affair" with a lobbyist while he was married.


So when Paulding County voters went to the polls for a special election Tuesday, they selected ... another family-values conservative who had admitted to an extramarital affair!


Meet newly minted Rep. Daniel Stout.


His campaign Web site touts his conservative, pro-family bona fides. "I believe Paulding County wants someone who will stand strong for the conservative principles we've always believed in ... lower taxes, limited government, personal responsibility, and valuing Life from the womb until natural death," he says.


But, as the writer Tom Crawford of Capitol Impact noted this week, Stout "has been compelled to address a personal incident from 10 years ago: he had an affair with his first wife's mother while his first wife was pregnant with their daughter. Stout and his first wife subsequently divorced."


In a statement to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Stout apologized and said, "This humbling experience changed my life dramatically."

He also said the relationship with his mother-in-law "was stopped short of 'sex.'"

6. LOL! Tack on plagiarists to that list. That seems to be every Republican's ' old move '.

3. As long as there's an "R" after his name, Georgia repukes would

vote for a guy caught on camera having sex with a sheep - even if his opponent was Jesus (D) himself.

That guy sounds like a real winner! :sarcasm:

If a person is a "family values Republican", you know that there is a sex scandal waiting to emerge.

13. Amongst Godly Georgians I believe they call that "uncovering the nekkidness of your wife's Momma"

which is a roundabout way of saying fucking the grandmother of your children.

Should make for some interesting family storytime.

[cvoogt]

14. well it's none of the ex-wife's business then is it

but let's say they were still married at the time of his affair ;)
Article should've called her his "then-wife"

[autorank]

15. "while his wife was pregnant" - One sick dude!

[RainDog]

20. it's the Republican way!!

just ask Newt Gingrinch, Pat Robertson... both of whom abandoned wives.

Pat Robertson abandoned his first wife who was EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT.

Gingrich, we all know, divorced his wife who was undergoing cancer treatment to marry a young staffer he was fucking. Then he did the same thing with another one.

...and then these assholes claim they speak for "moral" Americans?

What's worse is that too many voters are too fucking stupid to see the stomach-grinding hypocrisy. Or else they're married to their sisters and don't get the problem, maybe.

[comrade snarky]

16. Damn! I don't think Jerry Springer even did that one!

Somebody get the security guys, this is gonna end with flyin' chairs.

17. Clearly these people overvalue continuity. nt

Where is the immoral equivilency?
