family values party

hidely-ho there neighboreenos, I'm trying to collect instances of infidelity and super-fidelity (is that a real term?) from both parties.  By infidelity, I mean republican and democratic instances of cheating, prostitution, gay affairs, etc. etc.  for "super-fidelity" I mean instances where the couples stays together despite overwhelming odds, or stays together in the face of tragedy.  These should have been within the last ten years, unless that person is an important figure on the scene now.

for the repubs infidelity there is of course:

"Larry-boy" Craig soliciting gay sex

Diaper man Vitter, prostitution

newt Gingrich leaving his wife when she had cancer

Rudy Giuliani three wives

Fred Thompson trophy wife

Mark Foley well, I don't need to get into that HERE do I?

While I'm sure there's super-fidelity with the repubs, I don't know off hand.

democrats infidelity

John Kerry 1 divorce

Bill Clinton Monica-gate

Russ Feingold 2 divorces (I think, it might be 1)

superfidelity

Clinton's staying together (though if for love, or political standing we may never know)

John Edwards loving Elizabeth and standing by her through cancer

That's all I can think of, I'm trying to get a handy chart for when the republicans claim to be the party of family values.  Thank you in advance for contributions

It's a good start.
Of course anyone who attempts to be holier/better than thou should have their own house in order first.  The Republicans listed here are all hypocrites while the  Democrats didn't make family decisions and personal lives an issue.

More
John McCain has been married twice.  Ronald Reagan, the false god of the Republican Party, has been also.  I believe Bob Barr (although he's now a Libertarian) has a couple of marriages.  Rudy Guiliani has a couple, too.  Helen Chenoweth had an affair.  Bob Livingston and Henry Hyde had affairs (not with each other, by the way).  And there was another Congressman from the midwest I believe that had relations with an underaged female page.

On our side, you also have Congressman Suggs, who had an affair with an underage male page (and married him under Massachusetts law, I believe).  You can't forget Gary Hart and the Monkey Business.

Suggs?
I think you meant to say Studds.

And I don't think the page was the man he eventually married under state law.  But, yes, Congressman Gerry Studds did have an affair with a male page in the early 1980's.
