Family values Republican caught on camera valuing his girlfriend

Family values Republican caught on camera valuing his girlfriend

by Joan McCarter

<...>

This only happened because gays can get married now, I'm sure.

(Louisiana's) Fifth District Congressman Vance McAllister, who campaigned for office last fall as a devout Christian and devoted husband and father, was caught in video surveillance two days before Christmas passionately embracing and kissing one of his congressional aides.

The aide, identified as Melissa Anne Hixon Peacock, is married to one Heath Peacock, long-time friend of McAllister as well as a big ol' campaign donor, to the tune of $5,200. Ouch.

McAllister, thus far, has been only known as the guy who brought the Duck Dynasty guy to the State of the Union Address in January. He won his seat in a special election last fall to replace Rep. Rodney Alexander, who left the House to take a post in Gov. Bobby Jindal’s administration. McAllister clearly wanted to be known for his family values.

On weekends, McAllister has Sunday breakfast with his wife, Kelly Duncan, and five children—Anna Claire Rogers, Emilie Kathryn McAllister, Duncan Michael McAllister, Vance Michael McAllister II (aka “Deuce McAllister”) and Eva Grave McAllister.

It’s a tradition he says he will continue when he comes to Congress.

“We have Sunday morning breakfast before church,” McAllister said. “I don’t do the dishes, but I do cook. I’m the griller.”

That's going to be one awkward breakfast come Sunday.

A true family values man always keeps a potential replacement waiting in the wings.

I'd hardly call it news news.

Unfortunately there don't appear to be many Democrats in that district, if this guy loses it will probably be to an even more extreme Republican. Many have dubbed him a "RINO" cause he said something halfway reasonable a couple of times.

"60% of both parties in Congress are probably engaged in adultery I'd hardly call it news news."

...only one party is trying to legislate morality. So it's "news" when these fuckers are exposed as hypocrites.

They travel up your spine, into your brain and that where shitty ideas come from. I'm sure that's what happened to Mr. McAllister.

Regardless, I hope he kicks the shit out of McAllister.
