Alaskan repub thinks sex outside marriage should be illegal

[Cuchulain]

JUNEAU -- Gov. Sean Parnell's appointee for the panel that nominates state judges testified Wednesday that he would like to see Alaskans prosecuted for having sex outside of marriage.

The candidate, Don Haase of Valdez, also admitted under questioning by members of the Senate Judiciary Committee that his official resume failed to disclose his leadership role in Eagle Forum Alaska, which advocates for social conservative issues. He most recently was president of the organization, but resigned when he learned of his nomination, he said.

Sen. Joe Paskvan: "Do you believe it should be a crime?"
Haase: "Yeah, I think it's very harmful to have extramarital affairs. It's harmful to children, it's harmful to the spouse who entered a legally binding agreement to marry the person that's cheating on them."
Paskvan: "What about premarital affairs -- should that be a crime?"
Haase: "I think that would be up to the voters certainly. If it came before (the state) as a vote, I probably would vote for it ... I can see where it would be a matter for the state to be involved with because of the spread of disease and the likelihood that it would cause violence. I can see legitimate reasons to push that as a crime."

lol, another neo-con nut looking to control everyone else. If he's anything like the rest of that bunch, he's probably got an underage hooker on his speed dial and a nice altar boy in his closet.

Do you know how many people would be in trouble because of this?

On the bright side, it would create a lot a jobs. Let's all start retraining as prison guards.

Look on the brighter side, if the law passes they will arrest Sarah Palin's daughter.

[trish]

I wonder what Haase thinks the legal range of punishments should be for masturbating to internet porn while your wife is snoring in the bedroom?

The odd thing here surely is that for years people who were not native to Alaska migrated north precisely to opt out of 'the "lower 48" State' with its taxes, laws and so on -there were more nutters per square mile in Alaska than even in Montana, so the resort to excessive law-making seems 'UnAlaskan' to me, although I suppose its a sign of how times have changed.

So, like, 99.99 percent of the populace would be screwed -- ha! ha! ha!

Sarah Palin Extramarital Affair claims

By Clarencia Cynrae on September 4th, 2008

The National Enquirer, who broke the John Edwards hotel room meeting story, has alleged that Sarah Palin had an affair with a business associate of Todd Palin.
When Todd Palin discovered his wife was having an affair with his friend, he broke off relations with that man. This story is not new. There was gossip on Sarah Palin’s alleged extramarital affair. The third party was described as a snowmobile racer and there was even a photo offered but no name was disclosed.
