Anti-gay, pro-abstinence Tennessee State legislator had affair with intern

[BigBearJohn]

A Republican state senator from Tennessee–who is married and the father of two– has admitted to police that he had sex with a 22 year old intern after her boyfriend allegedly demanded money from the legislator to not make public a video of the legislator and intern having sex.

State Sen. Paul Stanley only recently sponsored legislation designed to prohibit gay couples in his home state from ever adopting children. He has also opposed family planning services, explaining that his “faith and church” require him to “promote abstinence.” And Stanley has run as a “pro-family” candidate in his campaigns for the Tennessee State Senate.

On Thursday, Stanley resigned his chairmanship of the Tennessee State Senate’s Commerce committee.

Stanley himself admitted to police that he had had a “sexual relationship” with the intern and had taken nude pictures of her in “provocative poses,” according to a sworn affidavit police made public yesterday. The couple also filmed a video of themselves having sex together.

7. Every republican that harps on "family values" is hiding something.

It's universal! Every time one of these right-wing jerks gets caught with his pants down, the resulting news story always includes, as this one does, descriptions of the miscreant's public piety and his many pronouncements about his all-encompassing "faith" and the "sanctity of marriage" and all the other BS these guys spew to fool the simpletons who vote for them into mistaking them for Jesus.

In a way, it's easy being a republican, since your supporters are so doggedly loyal they won't believe the truth about you even after it's revealed to the public. In contrast, Democrats have to deal with supporters who follow the news and know science and math and all that elite egghead college stuff.
