Freudian slip of the keyboard.

They also have five children. I think it unfair to necessarily assume his wife’s knowledge—and, presumably, sanction?—in the affair.

I don’t know, is that a common justification that cheaters use for their behavior?

The moment I saw this story elsewhere in the MSM, I knew it had to be about a Republican. Democrats are not judged on their personal moments of indiscretion. Instead we would be hearing lectures about how it is his own private life and none of our business and it didn’t affect the way he governed (blah, blah).

As Christians, we are all sinners and the ones trusted with power encounter additional temptations, it seems. This is not to exonerate this man but only to say that if we have one standard for Republican elected officials and another for Democrat elected officials, nobody is going to want to run as a Republican.

Congress is not church. I can pray for this man’s Christian walk and forgive him his lapse. But I don’t want to see otherwise good candidates tossed out over a moment of weakness because his likely replacement could easily be worse.

The problem was he was never a good candidate to begin with. He's allied with the thug mayor of Monroe, LA, and this was known before the election. He supported amnesty, and this also was known before the election.

But no, everyone was blinded by the glare of TV personalities endorsing the guy, and apparently too stupid to make rational judgements.

I'm sorry to have to infer that many FReepers - who allegedly are the most skeptical and informed conservatives in the world - got fooled, but those are the facts.

Thanks for the perspective. Sounds like this might end up for the best?

Don't sweat it! We're not all that versed in local "Monroe, LA" politics. Glad to know he wasn't another Ted Cruz tho.

Baton Rouge Advocate I guess may not be left wing rag. Look for all the big MSM papers to have “Republican” in the headline. If he doesn’t resign, the GOP should see that he’s off the ballot in November.

I was single around 40. She was 22. Neither of us were married. It never left the elevator. One of many regrets.

Interview with the friend, Heath Peacock.

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2014/04/08/husband-on-kissing-congressman-he-has-wrecked-my-life/?hpt=hp_t2

Something doesn’t sound quite right. Maybe he’s trying to get some revenge

“I know his beliefs. When he ran one of his commercials, he said ‘I need your prayers,’ and I asked, ‘When did you get religious?’ He said, ‘When I needed votes,’” Peacock recalled. “He broke out the religious card and he’s about the most non-religious person I know.”

He was a flake from the get go. I said so, and provided proof of his support for amnesty, and his alliance with the thug mayor of Monroe.

Nobody wanted to hear it, though.

Exactly! If odumbo can have his records sealed, why didn’t this dumbo seal his? Just say, “any video/texts/emails/phone conversations/etc. have been ordered sealed by me and anyone who exposes them will be prosecuted!” lol
