Reality Show Contestant Backed By DeLay For Her ‘Good American Values’ Quits Show, Files For Divorce
Reality Show Contestant Backed By DeLay For Her ‘Good American Values’ Quits Show, Files For Divorce
Unlike Tucker Carlson, country singer Sara Evans has been talented enough to avoid elimination from ABC’s Dancing With The Stars. She even had the support of Tom DeLay, who sent a letter to his supporters asking them to vote for her because she represented “good American values“:
Sara Evans has been a strong supporter of the Republican Party and represents good American values in the media. … One of her opponents on the show is ultra liberal talk show host Jerry Springer. We need to send a message to Hollywood and the media that smut has no place on television by supporting good people like Sara Evans.
Unfortunately for DeLay, Evans herself is ruining his plans:
Country singing star Sara Evans has announced she is quitting the hit ABC show “Dancing with the Stars” and also filing for divorce after 13 years of marriage.
DeLay sure knows how to pick ‘em.
Wonkette has more.

What? She was on that show just last night, I was pushing for her to go down. Now I feel bad, not.
October 13th, 2006 at 1:04 pmGuess ‘Reality Show’ has a whole new meaning for Delay, now.
The ‘reality’ is, Tom, that Republicans don’t follow what they preach.
October 13th, 2006 at 1:06 pmWouldn’t it be funny if her and good ol’ Tucker were making happy feet back in the dressing room?
Just remember this: anything Tom DeLay recommends, do the opposite.
October 13th, 2006 at 1:07 pmThis is not news. This is petty and silly – it has absolutely nothing to do with Tom Delay. Can we focus on real issues of theft, lying, senseless wars, child molestation, and flat out treason in the Bush administration and the Republican leadership?
October 13th, 2006 at 1:09 pmHeadlining Dancing with the Stars celeb gossip on Think Progress undermines this site’s credibility.
This seems somewhat irrelevant to me in the field of national politics, and I think its somewhat juvenile to cheer when even our opponents’ marriages fail, but thats just me. Not everything needs to be under the looking glass, we’ve got plenty of things to attack the GOP with already.
October 13th, 2006 at 1:10 pmwe have no idea what is happening in her marriage. this is no story. on the other hand, air america is filing chapter 11. check it out:
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/15249280/?GT1=8618
October 13th, 2006 at 1:10 pmYou know Roz, we get a lot of crap from conservatives for being “unhappy” and all doom and gloom all the time. Can you lighten up for a half a second?
October 13th, 2006 at 1:11 pmThis is bad press for DeLay but it will not dampen his strong re-election campaign. DeLay can’t lose with JC in his corner.
October 13th, 2006 at 1:11 pmthat is good american values: marriage than divorce. who gives a rats ass about this crap. come on tp.
HABEUS CORPUS.
October 13th, 2006 at 1:12 pmThis is bad press for DeLay but it will not dampen his strong re-election campaign. DeLay can’t lose with JC in his corner.

This is a joke, right?
October 13th, 2006 at 1:13 pmWhat the heck does this have to do with anything? This is a big story? What about North Korea setting off nukes from Clinton or Ted Kennedy still not arrested for murder?
Hey, Air America went chapter 11 today
http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/10/13/D8KNQMG84.html
So the people in the previous story on this website who claimed it was a false Republican rumor
http://thinkprogress.org/2006/09/13/air-america-bankruptcy/#comments
Where are you not? Wrong again. Bye Bye Al.
October 13th, 2006 at 1:14 pmThis is petty garbage.
Why is this on the Think Progress site?
It’s pointless and irrelevant. Seriously.
October 13th, 2006 at 1:15 pmI agree with # 4 . We are a political post , let’s leave entertainment to MSM that is all they good for.
October 13th, 2006 at 1:15 pmAir America=Bankruptcy
October 13th, 2006 at 1:16 pmYou know, it would be petty if they didn’t put themselves out there as being the “moral, Christian, conservative values” party. There’s nothing in the Bible about abortion, gay marriage, etc, but “‘I hate divorce’ says the Lord” is pretty straightforward. (Malachi)
What galled me is when Delay said, “When you see me, you see Jesus” or words to that affect (I’ve seen bumper stickers around here with that on it) and I was like, “Dang, I never thought I’d see Jesus being an arrogant, evil criminal.”
October 13th, 2006 at 1:18 pmNow lets see, Sara Evans files for divorce and you, representing the tolerant left, find offense with her?
October 13th, 2006 at 1:19 pmHey ForTruth -
I lighten up when I read The Superficial or GoFugYourself or other sites where “news” like this is appropriate.
Sure, it’s fun to see Tom Delay in all his hypocritical moralizing speechifying get called on his shit. I love that as much as anyone! I’m a Texan! Here in Texas, we all love to see the Hammer get Nailed!
But this stuff is better on celeb/gossip sites – non partisan sites where the news might be read by Delay-heads and subtly undermine their faith in the Compassionate Conservative jargon. On a site like Think Progress, it’s just preaching to the choir. And it makes us all look disgustingly self-satisfied.
October 13th, 2006 at 1:23 pmSomething like this usually warrants a “think fast” at best. Is it a slow news day?
October 13th, 2006 at 1:23 pmLooks like it’s the kind of story that the trolls and the libs can agree is a non-story…
October 13th, 2006 at 1:26 pmNow lets see, Sara Evans files for divorce and you, representing the tolerant left, find offense with her?
Comment by EEprom — October 13, 2006 @ 1:19 pm
No we find offense with Delay trying to use her to symbolize how morally superior Republicans are when in reality, they’re just like everyone else.
Divorce isn’t fun for anyone involved. She’s not the issue. Delay putting the GOP on a pedastal is the issue.
October 13th, 2006 at 1:26 pmWhile I like to see Tom Delay fail as much as the next guy, I don’t take any joy in this situation. Some conservatives may look down on those that divorce, I certainly don’t and TP shouldn’t either.
October 13th, 2006 at 1:31 pmSo there’s a show about people dancing and one of the dancer’s is going through what over 50% of married couples go through. And she’s a republican. hmmmmmmmmmmm
Thanks for this ammo. If I ever get into an argument about liberal dancers who get a divorce I can throw this back at em.
I heard something about a Military Commission Act and it sounds pretty serious but please, tell me more about rightwing rednecks in ball gowns getting divorces.
October 13th, 2006 at 1:33 pm20 – You are correct, sir. That is the point of the thread. And it is very, very funny, that, when that pedestal was unveiled, it was shaped like a big dildo.
October 13th, 2006 at 1:33 pmanother good american value: get into the bedrooms of others and talk about it as if it’s any of their business to begin with. hollyweird indulgers get a f. life.
October 13th, 2006 at 1:35 pmdidn’t we already know delays morals and values by his own crooked dealings. so why would this be news.
October 13th, 2006 at 1:38 pmHow could she Cut and Run from this important part of TV fantasyland?
October 13th, 2006 at 1:39 pmOh, the shame and heartbreak of it all. Tom, say it ain’t so!
I actually think this is a fair post. Previously Sara Evan’s husband ran for Congress on the Family Value’s platform and according to The TENNESEAN Paper, his actions are anything but. The problem the republicans are having is not lack of tolerance but they are hypocrates.
October 13th, 2006 at 1:43 pmRight! We need to keep smut in the House of Representatives! Where it belongs!!
October 13th, 2006 at 1:50 pmThis is a specious and demeaning post. So Sara Evans is a Republican supporter, and her marriage has gone bad. So what? And what would you be saying had she been a Democratic supporter and some right wing blog had used the event to point out how the failure of her marriage substantiates the failure of liberalism? It’s flatly irrelevant.
October 13th, 2006 at 1:51 pmYour point? That a divorced person is stigmatized and somehow less worthy than others?
This is the most asinine post I have ever read on this site.
I think someone needs treatment for their obvious rectal-cranial inversion.
October 13th, 2006 at 1:54 pmTrollsters – please refer back to post #20 to get a handle on the thread’s relevance. No one is attacking Ms. whoever the hell she is, anyway.
Others, I agree we sould be on topics like Habeas Corpus, this is clearly not the meatiest item ever, but it does highlight how deeply hypocritical the DeLay gop is.
October 13th, 2006 at 2:00 pm#4 and others.
This has a lot to do with Tom Delay.
The point isn’t just how petty Tom Delay is – but also how partisan he is.
The man, who was a twenty year member of the House of Rep., takes time out to organize votes for a republican reality show dancer because one of her competitors is (in his mind) a “liberal.”
Partisan – and yes, petty.
The man, who was a twenty year member of the House of Rep., also took time out to coordinate efforts to redistrict congressional districts in Texas to favor the election of more Republicans.
Partisan – and far from petty.
Republican leadership alledgedly knew of Foley’s behavior possibly more than a year ago – and did nothing in order to protect the party.
Partisan – and far from petty.
James Baker has a report that will almost certaintly contradict Bush’s rhetoric. It will come out after the elections.
Partisan – and far from petty.
The fact that Delay would be so aggressively partisan over a dance contest indicates that his partisanship is more like an obsessive compulsive disorder.
And the fact that he isn’t the only Republican like this … well, that ain’t petty.
October 13th, 2006 at 2:01 pm[...] Original post by Amanda Read More… [...]
October 13th, 2006 at 2:10 pmI love this month. This has been the best month in the last six year.
Everything has blown up in the republican’s face during this month
But being a compassionate liberal, I feel bad for her, because she is going through a hard time.
October 13th, 2006 at 2:10 pm22. The “statistic” about 50% of marriages ending in divorce is a myth. The figure came from a fellow who just looked at the number of marriages that happened in a year and compared them to the number of divorces in that same year! It never occured to the guy that most of those divorces might have been from marraiges that commenced in earlier years.
But it is a good example of how statistics can be used to get misleading results.
October 13th, 2006 at 2:12 pmI think this is a good post because whenever there are bigger topics to discuss the republicans always try to distract the public by focusing in on “family values” as if they own them and that Democrats hate them. Examples like Ms. Evans clearly show that republicans are no different so there is no advantage to voting for them.
October 13th, 2006 at 2:13 pmSome people need to get that bunch out of their panties. What’s wrong with a little schadenfraude especially when it is at the expense of someone held up by the bug killing dwarf king of the GOP legislative pig-pac as a paragon of good Xtian vaues?
October 13th, 2006 at 2:25 pmI think it’s a good post, the point being delay is just a hot air phoney and will use anything for himself.
October 13th, 2006 at 2:28 pmSex ring…..Oh, that makes it all so very warm and fuzzy……
What a nut.
October 13th, 2006 at 2:35 pmWhy doesn’t DeLay admit it? American values, as viewed by the current power-hungry Republicans, include divorce, government contracts let without bids for Defense and Homeland Security, power grabs, lying, convictions for crime, hypocrisy, cover-up of sex scandals, becoming persons Bush never knew once they’re disgraced, fleecing the public, aborting the scientific process, gerrymandering, propagandizing, covert dislike of conservative values, hatred of the press, supporting the largest companies in the world, having government bail outs for large companies in trouble, indifference to suffering, etc., etc.
October 13th, 2006 at 2:36 pmThe fact someone gets divorced holds no bearing on their values, perhaps her husband cheated on her.
October 13th, 2006 at 2:39 pmWould that be the former “Republican Babe of the Week” Sara Evans?
http://www.jerseygop.com/RepublicanBabes13.html
Family values indeed.
October 13th, 2006 at 2:44 pmNo quarter. She has used her celebrity and religion to “arouse” support for political and moral hypocrites. I’m off to buy another Dixie Chicks CD.
October 13th, 2006 at 2:52 pmWhat do you call the opposite of the Midas touch?
October 13th, 2006 at 2:54 pmWhile this is not a purely politcal story, it speaks volumes that yet another Republican, in this case Evans husband, a former Republican Congressional Candiate, is accused of some very UNMORAL, and UNCHRISTIAN behavior…
Evans complaint cites the following:
Sara Evans — apparently a Nashville pop singer and champion dancer — has left the hit show because her husband is one of those sex creeps on CraigsList.
Failed Republican congressional candidate and GOP fund-raiser Craig Schelske is also accused of abusing his wife and making his young children watch pornography. According to Evans’ complaint, there are more than a hundred pictures stored on the family computer of Schelske screwing myriad women as well as parading around his house naked and “aroused.†According to his CraigsList ads, Schelske is particularly interested in having anal sex with strangers and threesomes

That is way way too f#cking crazy.

October 13th, 2006 at 3:15 pmAnd yet the immoral, anti-family, liberal Jerry Springer is still married. Go figure.
October 13th, 2006 at 3:15 pmHere is the story from the Tennessean Newspaper that states Evans’ case against her husband……this is DEFINATELY going to get the Nancy Grace treatment….and just whenn Repubs thought the Foley stuff was going to die down here comes another immoral Republican

October 13th, 2006 at 3:21 pmTo the righties who don’t understand the point of the post, I will copy and paste part of my previous post in #20:
A GOP supporter posted this:
Now lets see, Sara Evans files for divorce and you, representing the tolerant left, find offense with her?
I responded with this:
No we find offense with Delay trying to use her to symbolize how morally superior Republicans are when in reality, they’re just like everyone else.
Divorce isn’t fun for anyone involved. She’s not the issue. Delay putting the GOP on a pedastal is the issue.
Get it, now? We aren’t poking fun at the divorce. That part sucks for her and her family. We’re showing the continued hypocrisy of the GOP on their supposed monopoly of morals and ethics. Don’t call yourselves the party of family and moral values when you are like everyone else.
This shows divorce is bipartisan.
Mark Foley shows that preying on children can be bipartisan.
Delay, Ney, and Cunningham show ethical violations can be bipartisan.
So, GOP, stop pretending you’re better than those evil liberals when your actions show you aren’t. In fact, one (me) could argue, based on recent history, that the GOP is the party devoid of values and ethics.
October 13th, 2006 at 3:24 pmThis is so fitting. Schelske had run for Congress as a Republican in Oregon just a few years ago and lost. What if he had won – what a feast of perversity.
In the meantime, only right wing voting kept her on the Dancing With Stars program. Night after night she has rated as one of the worst dancers, and then the next night she is boosted to the top. The right wing voted for her whether she could dance or not.
The voting for her is no different from people voting in politics for faith based unqualifiied candidates over reality based candidates.
It was embarassing that she was not kicked off two nights ago.
What she has done with this timing is avoid being kicked off – the disparity of her dance levels with those of the remaining contestants has become more and more apparent. One just wonders why she did not wait for another six weeks or so until the show was over. Maybe she was being ostracized by the other contestants.
But, on the other hand, I give he a lot of points for outing one more so called Christian Republican pervert. Maybe she is not so bad a person, and, I think I feel a little sorry for her. I wish her well. DeLay really messed her up by pushing for votes for her.
October 13th, 2006 at 3:25 pm#55,
bobcat_grad,
I am surprised people are not getting it. I did see what Tom Delay had mentioned it and how stupid it was to bring it at that level. This is all about GOP and its hypocrisy and nothing to do with Sara Evans. She does sound stupid if she thinks offering herself to her husband is the cure all for a marriage.
October 13th, 2006 at 3:43 pmDeLay is the last person to say who does and does not emboy “good American values”
October 13th, 2006 at 3:44 pmI don’t know about your spin on this. She’s divorcing him because he allegedly committed adultery and watches porn with young children around. I suppose “family values” dictate that she stays with him, but only Christian loonies would think she’s bad for walking out.
Hubby is the skanky one. Don’t know why TP is targetting her.
October 13th, 2006 at 3:54 pm#59 – Baldrick.
It is not just about her – but mostly about Delay.
Read
#33 and #55
But #44 makes a good point as well.
In which case it is about her and Delay.
She could have told Delay to stay out of her silly little dance competition – but she didn’t.
She could have said don’t put me on the so-called “American values” pedestal. She could’ve made that point, even if she didn’t have all that madness going on at home – but she didn’t.
Instead, she agrees to be the poster girl for Tom Delay’s so-called “American values” – (presumably) knowing what her actual home was like.
So at this point – it is what it is.
Anyway, I hope things straighten out for her.
Staying the hell away from both her husband and Tom Delay would help a lot.
October 13th, 2006 at 4:19 pmWhy this is sad…and is news for those who want to know the reality of this situation.
More than likely Sara Evans married a perverted man – fine. As an adult you are free to do whatever the hell you want, as long as it doesn’t involve children who ultimately pay the price for the parents’ actions.
Sara Evans more than likely – it will be revealed later in a tell-all interview in People or US Weekly – was sexually verbally\abused as a child and (hopefully unconsciously) attracted another abuser herself (a man who represented her father). This terrible crap happens everyday in the world.
My hope is that the children were not subject to sexual abuse by the hands of the father. If they were, Sara and her husband Craig Schelske (a former GOP candidate) – I hope Jesus/God has mercy on your souls, cause I sure do not. Why Sara would be as guilty as Craig? Often times abuse comes in two’s – one who does it, they other who allows it to happen by turning the other way.
And as far as Tom Delay’s endorsement of Sara – it’s par for the course with this PERVERT who took several congressmen (with Abramoff) down to the Northern Mariana Islands. If there is a hell, TOM DELAY will burn in it.
October 13th, 2006 at 4:24 pmTypical GOP candidate’s resume…
– Adultry
– Watching porn
– Watching porn with the kids
– Verbally abusing wife
– Pics of him doing other women on his PC.
– Christian Conservative
– Family Values
Nice. I can’t image why he didn’t win.
October 13th, 2006 at 4:24 pmNice
On Sept. 28, one of the children confronted Schelske, 43, at the couple’s Franklin home when he was watching pornography on TV, the filing stated. The couple’s children are 2, 3 and 7 years old.
good Christian man
October 13th, 2006 at 4:35 pmThis is no big deal. Maybe just just caught her husband banging the maid and decided not to be a victim. Last week the marriage could have been great, in her eyes.
October 13th, 2006 at 4:52 pmPretty petty reach here. There are too many things to smack the other side with.
She’s a republican, she’s not perfect. Her only mistake was marrying a democrat.
October 13th, 2006 at 5:06 pmShe’s a republican, she’s not perfect. Her only mistake was marrying a democrat.
Comment by paul — October 13, 2006 @ 5:06 pm
Here is some information on “Democrat” Craig Schelske -Sara Evan’s soon-to-be ex-husband:
Craig Schelske is the Chairman of CRAIG PAC, a national political action committee dedicated to electing Republicans at the federal and state level.
October 13th, 2006 at 5:17 pmA lifelong Republican, Craig is assisting candidates and Republican organizations in raising money and preparing for the 2006 elections.
Craig L. Schelske
Paul, her husband ran as a Republican for congressman in 2002. Check your facts.
It is despicable to mention Evans’ private troubles on this blog just to claim another point against Delay. This is akin to Michelle Malkin’s behavior when she posts phone numbers of people she brands as traitors on her blog.
I’ve been noticing the unfortunate trend that sites such as huffingtonpost and thinkprogress have been drifting towards the same smear tactics as the right-wing websites we all love to criticize. If we want to retain any credibility we have to return to our original “facts only” modus operandi. We have to let the facts speak for themselves about corruption in the republican party and not turn into propogandists ourselves.
It would behoove thinkprogress to withdraw this listing with an apology to Evans’
October 13th, 2006 at 5:21 pmAccording to this article on CNN.com, her husband sounds like a real prick:
October 13th, 2006 at 5:28 pmhttp://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Music/10/13/people.evans.ap/index.html

Really ???
Her husband ran for office in Oregon as a Republican.

“For Representative In Congress – Oregon, 5th District”

Republican
From his campaign site :
“President Bush: Great leadership: character, integrity, vision and fortitude. Like him I will extol our values, provide vision, encourage unity, and strengthen our resolve to protect our nation and freedoms.”
You meant to say her mistake was voting for him instead of the Democrat he lost to.
October 13th, 2006 at 5:33 pmARE YOU KIDDING ME? This is not thinkprogress material. I religiously read this site – and you are slamming a woman’s personal life? Totally low…ick.
October 13th, 2006 at 5:34 pmThis is akin to Michelle Malkin’s behavior when she posts phone numbers of people she brands as traitors on her blog.
Comment by SmokingKills — October 13, 2006 @ 5:21 pm
I beg to disagree.
This is a far cry from posting someone’s personal, private information.
Sara Evans’ marriage became fair game when she and her husband flaunted their supposed “good conservative values”.
Let’s not forget that it is their ilk who are constantly worrying about what goes on in everyone else’s bedroom.
It would behoove thinkprogress to withdraw this listing with an apology to Evans’
An apology to Evans? Are you serious?
As I said before, someone’s divorce wouldn’t ber a big deal if they hand’t pretended to be something they are not in the first place.
This is the same woman who deceived her fans to (dishonestly) inflate the vote tally in her favor, when they voted for her based on their perception of her as a good conservative -in a contest that should have been about dancing skills alone. I know Delay called for conservatives to vote for her, but her silence was acquiescence.
In a nutshell: The post is about knocking these people off the pedestal they have propped themselves on.
October 13th, 2006 at 5:38 pm#67. SmokingKills. I was just joking, but I agree with your serious post.
October 13th, 2006 at 6:09 pm“represents good American values in the media. … One of her opponents on the show is ultra liberal talk show host Jerry Springer. We need to send a message to Hollywood and the media that smut has no place on television by supporting good people like Sara Evans.”
Stuck in the mud.
October 13th, 2006 at 6:21 pmPlease understand that I’m not a Republican apologist. As a native of Houston I know of and loathe Tom DeLay. As a former resident of Oregon, I’m aware that Sara Evans’s husband ran for political office. But according to an item on the website of The Tennessean, Sara Evans’s husband verbally and physically abused her. It also appears he had a ‘thing’ for pornography. The whole story isn’t public yet, but it seems as though her Republican husband deserves the blame, not Sara Evans.
October 13th, 2006 at 6:47 pmGo Tom…..hell go Sara. Republicans kick ass. Whoever said repubicans don’t practice what they preach needs to take a closer look at loser Bill Clinton and the sex non sex issues.
October 13th, 2006 at 7:55 pmThank you to the comment #74. Everyone else have a heart.
October 13th, 2006 at 7:57 pmI don’t give a damned what anyone says, I am going to laugh at this. Not at the poor ladies misfortune in her marriage, but the fact that everything Delay touches turns to shit. And hey, when is he going to be indicted? They’re even finally going after Mr. “No Tax” Norquist.
October 13th, 2006 at 8:16 pmplease don’t condescend to assume that everyone who finds this post offensive is a “troll” or a “rightie” I am neither but I find the post offensive because it somehow gives crededence and weight to criticisms levied against divorced people solely because they are divorced.
In fact, divorce is most rampantly high among religious hypocrytes claiming to be Christians but obviously practicing anything but Christian teachings.
Nevertheless, it’s no moral offense to be divorced. The article suggests that it is. Regardless of whether that was the intention of the author, I’m afraid that is the impression I got. The greatest illusion of communication is that it has been achieved.
October 13th, 2006 at 9:09 pmAnother right winger with his hand caught in the cookie jar!
October 13th, 2006 at 10:41 pm#75 Was that sarcasm?
October 13th, 2006 at 11:19 pmWho are these people? Why are we caring about this? Sounds like this woman has a crappy husband and she’s ditching him. So?
Tucker Carlson? Dancing with the Stars?
October 13th, 2006 at 11:39 pmHas hell frozen over? Tucker Carlson is a star?
No Zooey, Tucker is a thtar.
October 13th, 2006 at 11:47 pmYou crack me up, JPark. :)
October 13th, 2006 at 11:51 pmThat is high praise Zooey :)
October 14th, 2006 at 12:03 amIf she is 35 and has been married for 13 years, she was 22 when her husband snatched her up. He had a number of years on her. She was probably naive and had no clue what she was doing. She probably stayed as long as she did because of her “family values” until it began to impact the children. The guy is a dirt bag and I’m glad she is getting away from him and protecting her children.
October 14th, 2006 at 2:10 amHaving moral values doesn’t mean that you are perfect, or don’t fail, it means that you aspire to something higher than mere hedonistic pursuits and self-obsessed policies of the Democrats. Again, the only way Dems can feel good about themselves is when someone who has greater aspirations stumbles.
If you really want to slam Sara, point out that in every recorded live performance she’s had, her singing has been very, very off key. They must work miracles with her in the studio, because I suspect that she is tone deaf.
October 14th, 2006 at 7:09 amTo all the people on here SLAMMING TP for posting this story……
Get a grip!!!!!
TP has the right to post whatever they want as it relates to politics…
TP IS NOT SLAMMING SARA EVANS…
What they are exposing is the baltent hypocracy shown by Sara’s husband and Tom Delay as it relates to the supposedly “superior moral values
” Republicans
If Tom Delay didnt open his big mouth and lobby Repubs to vote for Evans b/c she was a ‘good conservative’ this story would not have appeared to TP…
If Sara husband didnt run a PAC that strives to help promote Christian values in government this story would not have appeared on the site..
and for those people who are worried (?) that oh my gosh a left wing site is engaging in “behavior” that libs criticze the RW for…those people are compeltely off base….
We have a court document that states exactly what MS. Evans said has occured in their home…where the hell is the smear of presenting factual information…where…..and since when are we supposed to be concerned what the RW thinks of LIBS….we all know they have ZERO Respect for the “Democrat” party……being civil in every instance is not going to change that one bit…
Get a grip whiners…if you dont like what TP publishes start your own blog…
here ya go I will even give you a link…..www.blogger.com….buh bye

If following your idea, he could consisder as having moral values? He was chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children and introduced a bill in 2002 to outlaw web sites featuring sexually and saying that “these websites are nothing more than a fix for pedophiles.â€. But he not perfect and fail as an old ped prevert. How about his anonymous priest who moslest him as he was teen. How evil they are.
Outspeak or pratice Christian doesn’t mean that you’re holier than me. Again, I can feel good if someone who has greater “aspirations” realize that GOD know our secrets,know human is weak and mistreat yourself not the way pleased Him.

He’s the one who should be targeted, not her.
She’s just bailing out of a marriage with an unemployed drunken loser Republican would-be congressman.
He thus joins the long list of Republican hypocrite sleazeballs, the best of whom might be that guy who ran for the Illinois senate a few years ago and is now serving about 16 years for soliciting sex from a minor and possession of kiddie-porn.
October 14th, 2006 at 3:26 pmgreat post. concerns GOP hypocrisy and secret perversion. the best the trolls can come up with is gerry studds’ ancient history and air america’s bankruptcy. these losers know it’s hitting the fan, but they don’t want to believe it. faith based much like sara evans’ marriage.
