Michigan GOPer Lawmakers Sexpelled From Congress To Hook Up Again?

"LAPEER COUNTY (WJRT) - (10/16/15) - A fundraiser this weekend in Lapeer County is raising eyebrows.

It's for expelled state representative Cindy Gamrat.

Sunday's campaign fundraiser at Hideaway Lanes in Almont is nearly 150 miles away from her political turf - and in the district of her extramarital affair partner, Todd Courser."

The two lovebirds, Tea Party family value types, and two of the biggest moral scolds in the capital, were caught By her husband in flagrante delicto in a hotel room back in February. Like good Republicans, they decided to cover up the affair, but apparently couldn't keep the rumor mill quiet. So, earlier this summer, Todd put out a fake e-mail claiming to have been having sex with a gay prostitute in order to, as he phrased it, "inoculate the herd." Well, one thing led to another, and they involved their staffs in their cover up, which ultimately led to charges of misuse of public funds and her expulsion from congress. Knowing what was going to happen, Todd did as all GOPer dudes do in a pinch: resigned a few hours ahead of time leaving her to face the music alone.

Now, they're both running for their old seats again claiming the Republican dominated legislature was up to no good when they expelled her and forced him to resign. Well, on that point, I'm sure we can all sympathize. The Republican Party is a pretty sleazy organization, as I'm sure we all attest to, and I'm sure Cindy and Todd know it better than most!

BTW: both of them are married, in their 40's, with teen and preteen kids. I'm still curious as to how these two church going God-fearing scolds explained all this to their kids.
