Congressman Don Sherwood, described by his former lover as "very charming," won the GOP nomination in his quest for re-election. To refresh, his former lover, the one who called him "charming," also accused Sherwood of trying to choke her last year. He faced a much tougher than expected challenge from an unknown. Sherwood is a poster boy for GOP hypocrisy:
Sherwood, R-Tunkhannock, who is seeking his fifth two-year term for the 10th Congressional District, defeated Kathy Scott of Williamsport who had never before run for political office. She reported spending 60 times less than what Sherwood reported spending since 2005 in campaign finance reports.Sherwood is a typical GOP hypocrite. Very sanctimonious about other people's morals, not his own.
Sherwood said voters are clearly frustrated with the federal government – and his conduct.
“Certainly it had an effect,” he said of the allegations by his former mistress. “People weren’t happy about that. I’m not happy about that.”
“People are dissatisfied” with the government overall, he added, speaking at a celebration at the Ramada Inn in Chinchilla, near Clarks Summit. “The voters sent a message that they want more and I got that message.”
Now, you know he supported the so-called the anti-gay marriage amendment last time around. Like most GOP hypocrites, he should worry more about his own marriage. It would be very interesting to know how many supporters of the anti-gay amendment actually practice what they preach. Maybe we should start asking and documenting.
