Alabama Governor Bentley had illicit affair with staffer in Governor’s office

[Fang]

I looked at his website and it looks like he's doing a good job at governor. Also, how many Democratic politicians have had affairs? Most of them probably.

How many of them crow about their dedication to family values?

So when Bill Clinton said his vows to Hillary at their wedding it didn't count? You're using such a convenient excuse. Any Democrat that is married and is in office believes in the same moral values, otherwise they wouldn't say vows in marriage.

Here is an excerpt from those recordings:
"Yes ! Yes ! Faster..Faster ! "

Democratic governors don't run on family values ... Bentley did.

That is their out...no moral character so they claim they can't be judged when they are caught in an illicit affair, which now includes gay sex.

It's great isn't it?
Come over to our side...we have way more fun and you won't have to worry about being caught out.

Oh my, and of course he's a strict Right Wing traditional marriage guy.

So it's ok for Democratic politicians to be immoral and unethical slimeballs because that's what they stand for?

Better than being a lying hypocrite. With dems you know what you have.
Is that how you conduct your life? As a lying hypocrite? I would say yes. Seeing as how you are defending one.

• 
  Bentley indicates he supports the following principles concerning education:
• Support sex education programs which stress abstinence.

So he screwed up, he needs to resign for having an affair with a subordinate. Now, if the good people of Alabama want to re-elect him...that is their business.

Should Clinton have resigned?

Fair enough, if that's your position.

Yes. Clinton was, is a hypocrite to, he should have resigned as Bently should.

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

I don't judge unless it's a hypocrite.

So, Clinton advocates open marriage? You're pathetic. You should STFU honestly.

 

[blackhawk]

The main deal on this thread seems to be hypocrisy in this case the governor preaching family values while having an affair immoral yes illegal no is he a hypocrite yes. Now a big part of Hillarys campaign is bashing Wallstreet the same one she and Bill have gotten a lot of money from over the years not illegal or immoral but she to is being a hypocrite. The reality is every politician is hypocrite on something.

Proof that Liberals are opposed to moral standards.

Clinton didn't get in trouble for his extra-marital affairs, he got in trouble for lying about it under oath, and encouraging Monica Lewinsky to lie under oath.

I looked at his website and it looks like he's doing a good job at governor. Also, how many Democratic politicians have had affairs? Most of them probably.

How many of them crow about their dedication to family values?

Whether you "crow" about your dedication or not, you took a vow and you should honor it.

True, but he never built his public persona around it.
It's the difference between bad faith and hypocrisy.

Infidelity is infidelity, the hypocrisy adds a layer. A vow is a vow, if you can break a vow with a person you love, you will probably break other vows, like the people you serve.

Is the married staffer Collier's wife?

Alabama Top Cop Fired, Accuses Gov. of Affair
March 24, 2016 - Former Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Secretary Spencer Collier alleges that Gov. Robert Bentley has carried on an affair with a married staffer and potentially committed a felony by misusing state resources.

Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley has carried on an affair with a married staffer and potentially committed a felony by misusing state resources to facilitate the affair, the former head of the state's law enforcement agency publicly alleged Wednesday. Spencer Collier, who was fired Tuesday from his position as the head of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA), told reporters that he held direct conversations with Bentley about his affair with senior political adviser Rebekah Caldwell Mason. Collier provided specific details of those conversations, going so far as to name when they occurred, dates, other parties present and subject matter. Bentley was married at the time the affair began. "This has been a difficult time for my family and for the Bentleys," Collier said to open his press conference at the office of Montgomery attorney Kenny Mendelsohn. "I am disappointed in the man (Bentley) that I looked up to."

Collier said he learned of Bentley's affair by accident in August 2014, after the governor left his personal cell phone behind at an event. A text message on the screen was from Mason and it was sexual in nature, he said. A short time later, a member of Bentley's security staff brought Collier a tape recording that had been provided by a member of Bentley's family, Collier said. On it, he said he heard Bentley and Mason carrying on a conversation that was sexual in nature. "Body parts were discussed," Collier said. "It was very obvious what it was, what was taking place."

Collier said he dismissed Bentley's normal security team and he and another senior member escorted Bentley to an event in Greenville. During the trip, Collier said he confronted Bentley about the affair. "He hung his head, he didn't deny it," Collier said. "He asked me how to get out of it." Collier said he informed Bentley during that trip that an affair with Mason could easily violate the law should he provide her state resources, or even use state resources, to carry out the affair or cover it up.
