Pete Domenici voted for the ‘Defense of Marriage Act’

And Bill Clinton signed it into law. They’re all hypocrites.

Honesty for thee, not for me.

What’s worse is there was some child who grew up without a father, all because this man wouldn’t risk ruining his reputation for the sake of the child.

He did vote to impeach. And made a long statement at the time. A small excerpt:

This trial has been about his failure to properly discharge his public responsibility. The President had a choice to make during this entire, lamentable episode. At a number of critical junctures, he had a choice either to tell the truth or to lie, first in the civil rights case, before the grand jury and on national television. Each time he chose to lie. He made that fateful choice.

Truthfulness is the first pillar of good character in the Character Counts program of which I have been part of establishing in New Mexico. Many of you in this chamber have joined me in declaring the annual “Character Counts Weeks.” This program teaches grade school youngsters throughout America about six pillars of good character. Public and private schools in every corner of my state teach children that character counts; character makes a difference; indeed, character makes all the difference.

Guess which one of these pillars comes first? Trustworthiness. Trustworthiness.

The mother was in on that decision. It was selfish of both of the adults, to the kid’s detriment.

I am quite literally bowled over in stunned amazement at this shocking, shocking news that a Republican who lectures people on family values has turned out to be a self-serving adulterous hypocrite.
