The Sanctity of Marriage by Cong. Don Sherwood



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

In today's update to this sordid story about the 64 year old Congressman, Don Sherwood, we learn a lesson in family values. You will recall that Sherwood, the married GOP member of Congress from PA, was involved in an incident last fall with a 29 year old woman who claims they were lovers. She said he tried to choke her, he said it was a back rub. No charges were filed.

However, we learn from the Times Leader why marriage is important to this stalwart GOPer:

The woman, Cynthia Ore of Rockville, Md., says Sherwood has been her lover since 1999.

“When I met him he told me he was getting a divorce,” Ore has said.

Last week, the Times Leader exclusively reported her story about calling 911. She said she made the call on Sept. 15 after Sherwood “choked her for no apparent reason” while giving her a back rub at his apartment on D Street, according to a police report.

“He never did get a divorce,” Ore has said. “He said he has to stay married to get elected."
So, that's why they make such a big deal about marriage. It's to get re-elected.
