For background, Murphy:

- Voted YES on Constitutional Amendment banning same-sex marriage.
- Voted YES on Constitutionally defining marriage as one-man-one-woman.
- Rated 100% by the Christian Coalition
- “I believe in holy matrimony as a union between one man and one woman.”

But appreciate work-arounds when necessary. I note with some wry amusement that the Post Gazette has disabled comments to this story. I can't imagine why.

The bylaws of being a Republican include a statute which contravenes select Commandments including the one that states that you arent really supposed to fuck your neighbor's wife.

See, if she's not your neighbor then it's ok.

Doubt if it will hurt him in 2018, but it sure shows his true colors. They are all such bloody hypocrites. I wonder if the deposition will be made public?

of Murphy's, as he put it? Surely that a more understandable, rather...kind and gentle sort of betrayal?

Montana is on fire, most of the north west is as well along with western Canada, there are 4 hurricanes hitting the south and east. Do we really care about his love life?
I was going to say: His wife and a knife could stop this cold, but I won't say that.

The issue is that as a congressman, he is has consistently taken a position to impose what he considers to be moral values on others, that he does not subscribe to himself.

Penis. It's all about what he does with his penis. WWJD? Screw a friend's wife?

Couldn't care less, except for the glaring fact that - he's a hypocrite. STFU dickhead with your family values BS, and bible talk, and all your talk about morality. Bet the kids are real proud of dad and the other mom too!

Maybe Rep Murphy's constituents should send SecNav this article.
