1. The Pukes will love him even more.

This proves why he's a PukeBagger!

[Botany]

2. Family Values

[BlueCaliDem]

3. IOKIYAR.

Otherwise, to hell with the lot of you unethical, loose, and unChristian masses!

He's just a glaring example why Republican voters talk out of the behinds when they claim to vote Republican because of "family values and Christian values". Of course, to then have to admit that they loathe the Democratic Party because of the Blacks, Latinos, and Asians in that Party - all those loathsome "others" - would be admitting to their spoonfed KKK-style racism. They like being "closeted" racists. People just might buy it and believe they are actually reasonable people then.

4. If he carried a gun and shot someone with it

he wouldn't even have to apologize or ask for God's forgiveness. Carrying a gun and shooting someone immediately imparts sainthood and moral values in the Republican religion. If he shot his friend in the face while drunk like Cheney did, he'd even get extra credit.

[leftieNanner]

5. As long as there were no diapers injured in this affair,

then you know the Louisiana voters would really throw him under the bus. Wait. (cough, cough) David Vitter. (cough, cough)

Such two faced hypocritical bastards.

[cascadiance]

6. He's got a "good" role model down there in Louisiana!...

[Doctor_J]

7. He'll get a standing O from the Repuke caucus

when he returns to work

[catbyte]

8. This is the d-bag who brought that other Duck Dynasty d-bag to the State of the Union, isn't it?

I just love it when hypocritical cretins get hoisted on their own petard.

[KeepItReal]

9. Yes it is

And she's the wife of a long time associate.

And her family contributed to his campaign to the tune of thousands of dollars...

[packman]

10. And, oh yes, I Just fired

the tramp I was caught kissing and groping. Problem solved.

[sharkmeister]

11. Important, please read!

There's a good chance this guy is being dumped by his own party for taking an independent stance on Medicare/Medicaid policy: http://cenlamar.com/2014/04/08/why-the-real-scandal-isnt-congressman-vance-mcallisters-philandering/

[edbermac]

22. Excellent article k&r

Very interested on who made this tape.

[notadmblnd]

29. Of course they are. It's how republicans operate

They get the dirt on their fellow republicans and use it against them when they step out of line.

Personally, I love it when they eat their own.

[IronLionZion]

34. Dude supported medicaid expansion? What a socialist!

No wonder he's morally bankrupt!

There are lots more republicans who support the medicaid expansion than either side will admit.

This from the link above:

“I thought, ‘You know what, I’m not going to skirt the issue. Republican, Democrat, it don’t matter. Those working poor have paid that money in. That money’s going to Washington. It’s their money,’ ” he said. “For me to say I’m against Medicaid expansion makes me the best congressman California and Massachusetts could ever have, because that’s where that money’s gonna go.”

“It’s about doing what’s right. You keep your people healthy, they’ll continue to work. They’ll do better,” he said. “The money’s there. As a business guy, I don’t like Gov. Jindal standing up there and trying to use political points” to argue that the state can’t afford the small fraction it would eventually have to pay to draw down billions in benefits. “It don’t take Einstein to figure out that’s a pretty darn good return on your investment.”

Not many Republicans acknowledge the existence of the working poor or that healthy people are a good thing. The dirty South does have lots of voters from both parties who are social conservative and fiscal/economic liberal. Many of them want guns, god, and gays, AND healthcare, education, and fair wages. Tea party spews pure horseshit so loudly and vindictively that other GOP viewpoints are often silenced.

38. This is indeed the bigger story. That they sat on the video for months until he came out in favor of

Medicaid expansion. Until he spoke some common sense and wanted to help his constituents!

[sharkmeister]

40. Key -- helping constituents

Failings aside, it looks like he really wants to put politics aside and serve his constituents. Other republicans might agree and follow, that's why they have to punish him. Otherwise the whole political dam breaks and ACA becomes as solid as medicare and social security.

[freshwest]

49. This is it right here. They don't care who's kissing who. n/t

[Roy Rolling]

12. The backstory

This video is from a newspaper that endorsed the other candidate in the election. The other candidate was the anointed candidate by Bobby Jindal and the entire Republican establishment who thought they could pull a fast one by getting retiring Congressman Alexander a cushy job in state government if he would step aside and they could elect their chosen candidate.

When the northern Louisiana voters smelled a rat they backed McAllister instead of having a Republican crony shoved down their throats.

As bad as this guy is, he is actually better than the hand-picked Jindal candidate, who the Republican cartel thought they could install by removing the previous congressman.

[siligut]

27. So was he set up?

Money, drugs or sex, typical bait.

[Roy Rolling]

31. Good pernt...

I wasn't making a conclusion, but that is certainly a plausible scenario. At best, it's Republican infighting that has spilled onto the front page.

[titanicdave]

13. Oh My Word......

this is typical of the "family values" bunch of twits.......can you imagine if he had been caught kissing a MALE staffer???!!!

[Eleanors38]

45. Oh My Wad.

[Cyrano]

14. Giving hypocrisy a bad name is

just a casual pastime for Republicans. If those who vote for them ever attain any awareness, the GOP will be relegated to the dustbin of history.

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

16. If those who vote for them ever attain any awareness

That's a big if... Huge, in fact.

Never gonna happen.

[Solly Mack]

15. His campaign ads were all about how great family is and how important.

How they stand by him and support him.


lol

[noiretextatique]

17. he asked for gawd's forgiveness

and since he is a god-fearing christian man, gawd forgives him and you should too. The flesh is weak, but he atoned for his sins, and since he is born-again, and believes Jesus is his salvation...he gets a pass.
just spent a week with my religiously insane niece.

[Cyrano]

19. To put it more bluntly,

(pardon the expletive) a hard on has no conscience.

[noiretextatique]

23. yep...poor guy

the circular "reasoning" of the religiously insane

[chknltl]

18. If the system works why buck tradition?

[Zambero]

20. The tried and true Jimmy Swaggart trick -- it never fails!

First off, you're a seemingly devout southern politician or televangelist, big on family values. You eventually get caught doing stuff the Bible says you shouldn't, beg for God's forgiveness in public, use your family for pity purposes, persuade your constituents that it's better to vote for a "saved" Republican sinner (aka hypocrite) than any heathen Democrat, and proceed along with your political career as if nothing happened. Works every time. It almost begs the question as to why these people would even need to worry about being careful.

[rocktivity]

21. I believe in being fair about such things -- I want to see the evidence for myself

because there is kissing, and then there's -- well, KISSING.

Oh, so it WAS the KISSING kind of kissing. Well, at least he was environmentally correct enough to turn off off the lights on their way out!


rocktivity

[tofuandbeer]

42. After reading the threads above, I must say that this certainly does look like a setup.

She stops in direct view of the camera and initializes the kisses.
I'm not saying he's innocent, but I do think this was like a setup.
Either way, good riddance.

[liberal N proud]

24. Good thing he didn't tweet pictures down his pants

Then he would have to resign.

But the hypocrisy of screwing around with an aid, no big deal, RIGHT?

[shaayecanaan]

30. good thing he came clean about it

and didn't try to claim it was all some elaborate hoax. If little Weiner had realized that he would still be in congress today.

[LuckyLib]

25. Keep it in your pants, Vance. (Sorry, this stuff just writes itself!)

So the woman is fired. Too bad LA voters can't do the same for that idiot. At the very least his wife should toss him to the curb. Nothing like a hypocrite!

[sailfla]

26. Thinkin' with little head instead of the big head

[mstinamotorcity2]

28. He should go to C street!!

The pastor will pray for him or hide his Mistress

[ConservativeDemocrat]

32. FIRE HER

You forgot that on the list of bullet points.

Yes he did, and no I'm not making it up. (See, because it's all her fault.)

[AAO]

33. What? No dick pictures?

[AverageJoe90]

35. "IOKIYARCCR!". the 'baggers will secretly think.

It's Okay If You're a (Reactionary Conservative Christian) Republican.....because if a "RINO" or a liberal did the same thing, they'd go apeshit.

[lunasun]

44. That is right! He can pray away any adultry doncha know cuz IOKIYARCCR!

[SunSeeker]

36. If they foregave Vitter, they'll foregive this douchebag...

At least he wasn't wearing a diaper.

[47of74]

37. Fuck you Republicans.

[tooeyeten]

39. Film @11

Now the dumbass wants an inquiry to who and how the tape was released.

[father founding]

41. keep on fracking

Must be all the fracking water they are drinking down in the bayou.

[yellowcanine]

43. No one has even mentioned Benghazi or Obamacare in connection with this story.

What's that all about?

[uppityperson]

47. The issue has nothing to do with having a "roaming dick" but his hypocrisy. Running on

morals and family values schtick while no holding to those standards himself. But I guess that was beyond your reading comprehension since you didn't last long here.
