Cindy Gamrat said Friday that she believes she will be vindicated by a misconduct investigation stemming from her affair with a fellow tea party Republican and that she does not plan to resign. The Detroit News revealed Gamrat's relationship with state Rep. Todd Courser last week and detailed Courser's attempt to conceal the affair. Both lawmakers said their spouses were aware of the relationship and that they are working on their respective marriages. "Although I am not proud of my personal conduct, in regards to my position as state representative of the 80th district, I believe that an open and honest investigation will vindicate me," Gamrat said Friday during a press conference at her lawyer's office in East Lansing, in her first public comments about the scandal.” ********** The Young Turks August 17, 2015 Hour 2 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTpcK80irdQgFnDs3L7w72AwkC2uaVsFN How Amazon Makes Grown Men Cry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya59wUgfRtA&list=PLTpcK80irdQgFnDs3L7w72AwkC2uaVsFN&index=1 Cheating Tea Party Politician Refuses To Resign https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=culxxpvhkP0&list=PLTpcK80irdQgFnDs3L7w72AwkC2uaVsFN&index=4 NFL Player Forced His Kids To Return Their Trophies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Uopf0EWje8&list=PLTpcK80irdQgFnDs3L7w72AwkC2uaVsFN&index=3 Police Department Denies Woman Religious Rights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lKajEDImgw&list=PLTpcK80irdQgFnDs3L7w72AwkC2uaVsFN&index=2 ********** The Largest Online News Show in the World.

the entire story is staged bullshit TOTAL HOAX
-
They're both GOP TeaBaggers elect, what do you expect from these Christian Right wing nuts?
-
How 2 face.
-
I feel like more and more, this guy talks over Anna and she cannot get a word in.

How is spreading a rumor about you having gay sex better than people finding out you cheated on your wife with another woman? If your constituents are against gay marriage, finding out that you're cheating and you're gay is probably worse to them than just cheating on your wife.
-
But I agree gays should be able to marry. I just hate liberals
-
Fuck liberals
-
Why is the vote only about the women? The man abused his power to fire someone.
-
So you have no concept of values. So you ran on something you know nothing about. So you're a repub. No surprise.
-
This is a representative democracy.
The only recourse is to vote them out next time. -
According to AshleyMadison this is family values. But how does to saying go, do as I say not as I do?

cough Josh Duggar cough

Who gives a shit if they had an affair? Does that keep them from being able to do their job? I didn't care when Slick Willy Clinton got his blow job- he was doing a good job as president so why should I care what he does in his private life? The decision of whether or not these two should represent a certain district should be up to the ppl within that district, the ppl they will be representing- if they decide they need to go then they need to go, if not then leave them the hell alone. We can't abandon our principles just to go after the other side. If dude fired someone illegally then they should take that up with whom ever they need to in order to get their job back- but that doesn't concern us. Hell, I got fired for having a wreck on the way to work and breaking my spine in 2 places- no one gave a shit though.

Right from the start Ana admits that "If they were Democrats we wouldn't be covering this, but since they are republicans...we are throwing them under the bus." At least they admit that they are such a liberal biased news show that Dems WILL skate on things, Republicans will be crucified. At the 5:25 mark, they are talking about the Bill Clinton sex scandal and the male commentator says "Of course your going to lie." So he is giving Clinton not only somewhat of an OK for the sex scandal, and also an ok for the lying about it. Then at the 6:34 mark, Ana says that if a Democrat got caught in a sex scandal, they would do the honorable thing and resign their position and admit to the acts, which Bill Clinton did neither. (I do not believe that Clinton should have been impeached over the sex scandal because having sex outside of your marriage is NOT an impeachable offense.)

The Republicans Don't Resign They Continue On & Many Even Run For Higher Office Like Newt Who Was Speaker Of The House & Ran For President Or Mark Sanford Who Went From Governor To Now A Representative. But Democrats Resign Or Get In More Trouble Because The Republicans Attack Them Even Though The Family Values Is On The Right To Follow Not The Left.
Lastly Remember Pres. Kennedy Was Sleeping Around With The Like Of M Monroe But Was A Great Pres. & Kept Us Safe During The Cuban Missile Problems Ect. & Clinton Was A Great Pres. & Him Getting A BJ Didn't Effect Me & My Life. As Long As He Does His Job Right Like Anyone In Their Job Pres. BUSH Jr. Was The Worst & He Was Only Sleeping With His Wife IF Even Her...lol... -
lmfaooo. todd "inter" courser

Liberals are the biggerst hypocrits. think about it, we have discovered that planned parenthood has been selling babies and baby parts for 15 years and no liberal hypocrits say anything.
-
if you can force the President to resign for sex then anyone in office should resign
-
Remember what happened to Anthony Weiner and Elliot Spitzer? Why is it that only the Dems are the only ones that hold their people accountable? Family values my ass.
-
They shouldn't have to resign. What someone does in their personal life should stay in their personal lives, as long as it's not corrupting or illegal. Teabaggers are idiots & hypocrites, but I refuse to condemn someone for an adult sex life. Their hypocrisy is definitely fair game.
