After scandal, congressman's TV ad features wife

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The Louisiana congressman whose re-election is threatened by a cheating scandal is putting his marriage front and center in the campaign.

Republican U.S. Rep. Vance McAllister released his first TV ad in the 5th District race Monday, prominently featuring his wife Kelly.

In the 30-second spot, McAllister describes his "wonderful, Christian wife," while his wife describes feeling blessed because her husband "owns up to his mistakes." The pair never talks directly about McAllister's infidelity in the ad, but it's the obvious undertone.

"Life is filled with ups and downs," McAllister says. His wife, sitting by his side, adds: "But a man's character is based on how many times he gets back up and stands again."

1. What a spineless gut of a woman

[ChairmanAgnostic]

6. Surely, ewe geste.

She looks likes candidate for the township of Stepford.

I wonder how many takes it took to get her smile just rght.

2. A conservanazi's lust for power

would mean he'd sell his soul to Satan for a place in the conservanazi hierarchy in Congress.

HYPOCRISY is a word conservanazi Xtians have no understanding of. I see this rat bastard has a cross on his lapel. He can't be a real conservanazi patriot unless he's wearing a flag.

The guy is a piece of shit and she's dumber than him because she condones his actions by not speaking out. "Praise the Lord". Fucking hypocrites.

[Doctor_J]

3. Full of ups and downs

...and ins and outs...apparently more for Lance than his wife.

His opponents should run pictures of him & his concubine on every billboard in the parish.

9. Yeah !!!! Have Her taught his virtues .

[Lochloosa]

4. Bet she dumps him if he loses.

[wandy]

5. Sooooooo. McAllister some some dirty deeds and apparently got away with it..........

Must have asked his wife for forgiveness and got it.
Must have asked the people he represents for forgiveness and got it.
Probably asked jebus for forgiveness and got it.

"Life is filled with ups and downs but a man's character is based on how many times he gets away with it."

Do you know what it shows the teapublican rank and file when one of their heroes jumps in the septic tank and comes out smelling like a rose?
Leadership ability!

The lad will do just fine.

7. The more you say you are a "family values" man the more likely you will be forgiven for lying.

Religion twists everything, even itself.

[orpupilofnature57]

8. All chauvinists aren't men .

[marble falls]

10. Unfreakingbelievable. He buy her off or something?

[adieu]

11. The beauty of Christianity

any ol' sin can be forgiven, if you want it to be. Any ol' sin can be your doom if they want it to be. Very malleable in how sins and forgiveness can be applied.

[Historic NY]

12. He must have promised her a big payoff.

[graegoyle]

13. I'm pretty sure that...

I'm pretty sure that, with Republicans: Men get paid; women get threatened. Generally.

[Cha]

14. Ha! I had read awhile ago that this guy was retiring.. not going to run again. I wondered wth

he was thinking? After all this is Louisiana we're talking about.

And, I'm sure there are wonderful people in Louisiana.. just talking about the majority who re-elect Vitters/diaper guy.

[sinkingfeeling]

15. I have a question. If his wife accepts her husband as 'owns up

to his mistakes' and his adultery, how can she be Christian? I think the Bible condemns those who commit adultery.

“If a man is found lying with the wife of another man, both of them shall die, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman. So you shall purge the evil from Israel. Deuteronomy 22:22

Hey, if they can condemn gays, they can start condemning adultery.
