Ah, the Republicans. Those fierce defenders of marriage protection. One of their candidates for Congress loves marriage so much, he's on his third -- and for awhile, he actually had two wives at once. If George Bush is so worried about protecting marriage, he should talk about Jim Galley on Monday when he gives his big anti-gay speech. Because Galley, like so many other GOPers, makes a mockery of marriage:
Republican Jim Galley, who is running for Congress as a “pro-traditional family” candidate, was married to two women at the same time, defaulted on his child support payments and has been accused of abuse by one of his ex-wives.We really need to start cataloguing all the actions of the marriage protectors. How many of the supporters of the anti-gay amendment actually stick to their marriage vows? Because the sanctimonious GOPer are really a bunch of hypocrites. They are obsessed with all things gay -- which really is odd. Really odd. Disturbingly odd.
The San Diego Union-Tribune discovered the personal history in making public-records checks on Galley, who is making his fourth run for elective office in four years. These checks are part of the newspaper's election reporting process.
Galley married his second wife, Beth, in 1982 when, unbeknownst to her, he was still married to his first wife, Terry. Beth and Galley divorced in 1990 after she sought a restraining order alleging abuse.
The child support was owed to his first wife.
Would that they were as obsessed about gas prices.
