A Republican candidate in the packed Republican Primary for Oregon Governor has been forced to admit he was a swinger after his posts on a private Facebook group were leaked ahead of the race.
Stan Pulliam, who is also the mayor of his hometown of Sandy, told his local paper that he and his wife of 12 years MacKensey 'ultimately decided' that the lifestyle 'wasn't for us,' but that he is 'not ashamed' of the decisions they 'made in the privacy of [their] own home.'
The 40-year-old told the Williamette Week that he and MacKensey, 'explored relationships, mutual relationships with other couples, for a brief period of time.'
'Several years ago, MacKensey and I, as a couple explored relationships with other couples for a brief period of time before we ultimately decided to focus solely on each other, our marriage and our family,' he expounded in a statement sent to DailyMail.com
'And ever since, day in and day out, we’ve worked as a team to strengthen our family and to create a better community and state for our girls, and the hundreds of thousands of kids just like them, so they can safely grow up, live, work and stay right here in Oregon.'
Pulliam was pushed to speak out about his unusual married life after Facebook posts and a photo from Portland's Erotic Ball in 2011 surfaced. In it, the couple talk about being excited to join the swinging community and he even comments on illicit photos of other members.
It is unclear what effect the uncovered posts will have on Oregon's Republican primary, set for May 17. However, Pulliam is a favorite to win in the liberal state, and he has said he has no intentions of pulling out.

Well molestation, physical abuse and neglect are already against the law and they are also actions where one person is physically harming another so it’s obvious why those are illegal so why do you even mention them as if there are no penalties against them already?
I would also agree with a Constitutional Amendment that defines marriage as between one man and one woman. Actually when I lived in California I got to vote on the gay marriage prop 187 and voted NO as did 67% of my fellow Californians and yet a judge overturned the will of the people. I also don’t agree with no fault divorce.
As far as drugs, doing drugs is a personal choice like drinking alcohol and I am not for laws that protect people from themselves, i.e., from their own bad decisions. Those kinds of laws step all over our liberties as free people.
Are there other non RINO Republicans running
Not voting them into office when there is a reasonable choice to not do so (certainly appears to be the case here) is a start.
The active phrase being “when there is a reasonable choice”. Problem is, at this time in history the only “reasonable choice” is the candidate who pledges their support for the MAGA agenda. And if that MAGA candidate happens to be someone who lives a “different” kind of lifestyle, what are we to do? I know what I would do.
To put it bluntly, if I have a choice of a MAGA candidate who lives in an open marriage lets say, or an establishment backed beta male linguine spined supporter of Mitch McConnell who goes to church every Sunday; I’m voting for the MAGA candidate who lives in an unconventional marriage. Every. Single. Time.
Yes they are against the law and are fairly well prosecuted. Of course we are nibbling away by lowering consent laws, allowing free access to the most horrifying porn, and allowing child sexual mutilation.
Other things that harm kids like adultery and desertion and no fault divorce, and the poverty, suffering, mental illness and criminality that goes with these things, should also be discouraged, with at least social shaming, lack of ease, custody issues. . .
The point is: we can and must influence the morality of other people in order to have a thriving society and protect the most innocent among us.
“Whatever you do in your own bedroom is none of my business” is a knee jerk phrase that sounds innocuous but is poison. In this case, “swinging” parents - good grief - should not be elected to office. Nor supported by conservatives or anyone with any compassion. As if this made no difference!! It makes all the difference in the world.
So you think Trump paid $150k to keep her from revealing that nothing happened? Nice work, if you can get it.
Attention all 2024 Republicans Presidential hopefuls: I am prepared to not reveal that I have not had sex with you. Competitive rates.
Don’t miss my Lincoln’s Birthday Sale! DM for details.
Well, I for one am just going to have to agree to disagree with you by saying I am not for limiting peoples liberties. If people want to be swingers that’s their business I am sick and tired of the moralistic busy bodies, mind your own business and vote the way you want but remember this, electing any democrat communist or R establishment candidate over any MAGA candidate for any reason is far more destructive of our Republic and our liberties than any of your moralistic concerns. As I’ve said before, to me a communist tyranny is just as bad as a theological tyranny.
Bravo! Well stated. I am in complete agreement.
Again, very rich people are hit by these frivolous lawsuits quite a bit, and it is cheaper to pay the person to go away than pay a major lawyer to fight it.
Additionally, it isn’t true.
And yes, it is nice work if you can get it. There is a reason someone like Billy Graham coined the rule about being alone with women. And the issue is constantly thrown around by a lot of nay-sayers on how the men follow this because they might be tempted.
Really, it cuts both ways. The number of boot camp male instructors who have lost their careers because some woman recruit made allegations when there was a moment alone is huge. Even the military made a rule about instructors never being alone with any recruit.
Trump has been hit with allegations of misconduct during an elevator ride, from a person who first tried to get hush money to keep it quiet. So now, men in his position are now using technology to record everything, just to fight these issues.
But hey, it is a lot easier (and in the current environment, safer) to just believe all women always tell the truth and all men are rapists just waiting for a moment to act it out. Just ask Christine Blasey-Ford.

You can go through life fearing anything you want. I choose to live life without fear of anything, except heights.
Creating fear is a way the elites, governmental or religious, attempt to control the people.
Fear nothing, live a life of freedom, do not allow yourself to be controlled.
Wow, just wow. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and it isn’t that kind of fear.
And the only people who are truly fearless are psychopaths.
“Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway.”
― John Wayne
Whatever dude. Live life the way you choose and give others the same respect. It is only tyrants that need to control people through fear, I don’t believe God, whom is above all a just entity, would feel the need to make his beautiful creation fear him. Only weaklings and bullies need to use fear as a weapon to get what they want.
And FYI I stated that which I fear, heights.
Moral busybody saying you have to feed your kids: ok
Moral busybody saying you can’t put kid in child porn: ok
Moral body body saying you can’t leave a five year old home alone all day: ok
Moral busybody saying you can’t get high around your kids: ok
Moral busybody saying you shouldn’t have a swing lifestyle around your kids: bad
Moral busybody saying a child needs a mom AND a dad: bad
Moral busybody saying divorce creates poverty, neglect, and abuse opportunities: bad
Moral busybody saying social policy should be marriage then kids given the consistently bad demographics of single parenting: bad
Hmm. All the sex related stuff is bad. I see a pattern.
As if I disagree with any of those things. This is my point, one cannot engage a religious fanatic in any kind of reasonable conversation. Fanatics always have to call out the most extremist situations such as child porn and try to associate my belief in free will and liberty means that I support those things. As I’ve said before, individuals are responsible for their own behavior, a fanatic is a fanatic, your thought process is no different than that of a true believing communist Democrat. You can go straight to hell for your attempted associations. You’re a terrible person, this conversation is over.
It goes to principle. Social policy has consequences.
From your POV some measures to protect children are fine and some are not. No apparent criteria or discernment. Yet I am a fanatic.
Don’t leave Johnny home alone. But divorce all you want. What has the worst outcome, statistically, for Johnny?
Gross but isn’t this kind of thing pretty mild in today’s degenerate climate?
So basically your position is that because a relative few choose to use use their liberty and freedom for immoral and illegal purposes, that nobody should be able to enjoy the blessings the liberties that God gave us. You’re astoundingly ignorant and a despicable human being. You’re the kind of religious fanatic that drives people away from religion, and in that sense you’re doing Satan’s bidding.
You’re far worse than just a religious fanatic. You’re a tyrant and the worst kind of tyrant at that. You’re the kind of tyrant whom will torment innocent people for their own good and you will justify your tyranny by claiming you’re doing it for the children. You’re the kind of fanatical religious tyrant straight out of the Spanish Inquisition.
The problem is you have no real principles.
No it’s not a few. Most kids are being raised without their two married parents now. Statistically a disaster. Higher crime higher suicide higher drug abuse higher mental illness lower education why is this ok with you?
My principles are clear and consistent. If you don’t like them then you don’t. Doesn’t mean I don’t have a consistent and clear principled philosophy.
Despicable for me to oppose the trashing of all aspects of the nuclear family I suppose. The only stable unit to prosper civilization by any decent metric. That’s what the commies want to do you know. Destroy the traditional family. What are you in the communist side?
