Here is the forty-fifth article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today\u2019s honoree is Congressman Vance McCallister (R-LA). He is honored for his demonstration of Republican family values.<\/font><\/p>\n

[Louisiana’s] Fifth District Congressman Vance McAllister, who campaigned for office last fall as a devout Christian and devoted husband and father, was caught in video surveillance two days before Christmas passionately embracing and kissing one of his congressional aides.<\/font><\/p>\n

The aide, identified as Melissa Anne Hixon Peacock, is married to one Heath Peacock, long-time friend of McAllister as well as a big ol’ campaign donor, to the tune of $5,200. Ouch. <\/font><\/p>\n

McAllister, thus far, has been only known as the guy who brought the Duck Dynasty guy to the State of the Union Address in January. He won his seat<\/a><\/font> in a special election last fall to replace Rep. Rodney Alexander, who left the House to take a post in Gov. Bobby Jindal\u2019s administration. McAllister clearly wanted to be known for his family values<\/a><\/font>\u2026<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
