Minnesota’s Republican Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch abruptly resigned from her leadership post this week, and there are now allegations that she had an “inappropriate relationship” with a subordinate staffer.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that Koch’s fellow Republicans confronted her about the alleged relationship. When Koch was confronted, she neither confirmed nor denied the relationship. “I think I need to consider resigning,” she said, according to the paper.

And she's married no less. Gotta love those "family values".
 
Actually, the GOP should be telling the world all about this, since people have the idea that the only relationships they engage in are gay ones. LOL.

From what I read we don't actually know if the screwee was a dude or a dudette. That will all come out in the nasty divorce case that will no doubt follow.
 
The State party is in a world of mess right now. This came right after the surprise resignation of the head of the party, and at about the same time as one of the candidates for that job was arrested for having expired tabs on his license plates.

Going into an election year where the Republicans are defending their first Senate majority in 70 years. Yep, they're in a world of hurt right now.

The screwee was a dude. His name hasn't been released because he is still an employee of the Senate.

Just curious...are you saying family values are unimportant, that democrats dont believe in family values, that this particular person has been hypocritical with regard to family values (examples?) or that you have to be a democrat (and especially helpful if you are president) in order to be able to rape a staffer, expose yourself to another staff member, grope a fed employee on the day of her husbands funeral, or get blowjobs from White House aids that you classify as a child, all while cheating on your wife? Just trying to understand the ground rules here.

Emphasis mine

Let's be fair, his wife was Hillary. That doesn't excuse his actions, but it does help explain them.

Arrested for expired license plate tabs? They arrest people for that in Minnesota? Man, Minnesota is hard core. How many years do you get for not signaling a left hand turn?

You really need to ask?

The GOP proclaimed itself as the Party of Family Values. As such, when this stuff happens, it's yet another sign of the GOP's hypocrisy.

The party of less government wants more government as it applies to people's bedrooms and sex lives. The Clinton saga is a perfect example.

The cons went after Clinton on a morality premise. Which was stupid as the GOP itself is teeming with perverts. They had every right to go after him for a national security risk. He put himself at risk for being bribed. But no, they sold out to the Bible thumpers who pay their salary.

Classic sell out.

I asked a straightforward question. Do you have some evidence of this woman being a hypocrite?

And lets not forget...Bill Clinton was not a bad guy because he cheated on his wife. He wasnt necessarily a bad guy because he lied under oath. Hell...it MIGHT be thought by some he isnt a bad guy because by his own admission he took pleasure in sticking a cigar in a childs vag and then smoking it for the wonderful essence. What made him a "bad guy" was jerking off in front of a campaign staffer and then asking her to blow him (you DO remember thats what the trial was all about...right? The sexual harassment suit brought by Paula Jones?). It ALSO might be considered raping a woman and groping a woman (ALWAYS a bad thing but in ESPECIALLY bad form when you grope her on the day of her husbands funeral).

I know a LOT of really good family values type folks that...well...how shall we put it...**** up. Someone like...say...Jessie Jackson...a good God fearin preacher and long time democrat that didnt just **** up, he ****ed up and got his ****ee pregnant (not a brilliant move.,..but hey...accidents happen).

Again...if THIS PARTICULAR WOMAN has been out there crusading on family values...please...by all means...lets see that and I will join you. Heck...we can "cast the first stone" together (cuz Im sure you are squeaky clean). If not...you are just once again being 'that guy'.

You're kidding right?

Monica was a child? WTF? Not.

Anyone giving Paula Jones credibility is rather naive. But thanks for playing.

First of all, I don't proclaim that i'm squeaky clean. That's a republican claim. I'm not a republican. ]
 
Didn't Gingrich have the same kind of relationship with his current wife? He's running for Presidential Nomination, so she should be fine after she has been a "consultant" for a while right?

Or a sign of your ignorance of Christian and conservative belief. We are well aware that man is fallen, that he will often fail. We make no secret of this, and it doesn't change the importance of the ideals.

So...you DONT have any knowledge about whether or not this person has been preaching about adultery. Gotcha. Just say so.

Yes...Bill Clinton classified as children anyone up to the age of 25 for the purpose of fudging his statistics on gun deaths (especially important when you are claiming that 18-25 year old demographic). So yes...by his own definition he wasnt JUST having an affair with a subordinate (a major no-no in the fed world) but he was getting blow jobs and sticking his cigar in the vag of a child.

And finally...Im willing to bet you will find a WHOLE LOT of republicans who arent running around claiming the moral high ground, just like you will find a WHOLE LOT of liberal democrats that are judgemental pricks.

Are you perfect in every way? The difference is that you have no values, isn't that true? And if you don't have them, then it's okay to act anyway you want, because then you are breaking no rules. Based on your way of thinking, anyone that ever breaks a rule, that believes in rules and laws, is automatically a hypocrite.

You're a member of the party that's suppose to help the poor. So why do we still have the poor, you hypocrite.
 
So when a liberal has a relationship outside their marriage, it's okay since they don't believe in family values, right?

Or a sign of your ignorance of Christian and conservative belief. We are well aware that man is fallen, that he will often fail. We make no secret of this, and it doesn't change the importance of the ideals.

Every single time this happens these kinds of posts pop up as inevitably as the ****ing tide.

People like me actually really don't care if these people have affairs, at all. Couldn't give a ****.

But what I do care about is the GOP sitting up on it's high horse and proclaiming that they're the morally superior party and demonize gays and lesbians so on and so forth. It's utter crap.

If you wanna have those values that's fine, but don't sit on a ****ing high horse dictating what's right and what's wrong in terms of who people should love and how perfect your marriage should be and then end up doing this.

Jesus that's not even a strawman anymore, it's a ****ing wicker man on fire.

I believe in speed limits. I believe they should exist. It doesn't mean I don't occasionally deserve a ticket. Her own party met with her, and she agreed to step down. What was it you had in mind? - tar and feathers? Should she wear a bright red "S"?

It's odd to me that you think she should be punished (by others or herself) at all unless she did something illegal. I don't know what she ever said publicly about marriage - do you? Hopefully, members of the GOP would do the same to her as they would to the opposite party - call out the behavior they disagreed with and for punishment of any illegal/unethical actions. I don't see the hypocrisy.

Is it your experience that Democrats do this as well?

You didn't answer my point at all. The GOP, no doubt recognises man's fallen nature. This neither shows the GOP are more likely to have affairs or that we should thereby give in and accept affairs as legitimate.
 
So wait...

She acted inappropriate with a subordinate, was found out, and then resigned?

Well that synches it, string her up. Doesn't she know that when you screw around with a subordinate while being a politician you go on to attempt to define what "is" is and then its all okay? I mean, what? Does she think this is normal society and a business where bosses screwing with subordinates is a seriously bad thing?

Though her mistake really was an obvious one. She shouldn't have resigned, she should've just changed her party affiliation to Democrat. Then apparently she'd have been free to do any immoral thing she wanted because we know that if you never suggest that people should ever attempt to be moral then you're fine to do any horrible thing you want because hey, at least you're not a hypocrite about morality and THAT'S what really matters.

:lol:

You guys will say anything.
 
Some may know that I work in a State capital for a legislator. Believe me folks, this sort of thing knows no partisan boundaries, no ideological boundaries or no gender boundaries.
