Kotz / Legislature / Media / Politics Contemplating Stacey Campfield's Sex Life. Eeeek!
Posted by Pete Kotz on Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 5:32 AM
The back story concerns a Tennessee House debate over a bill that would make it easier for men to halt child support payments after learning they're not a child's real father. Rep. Jeanne Richardson was making the point that such false paternity rulings aren't common and are usually innocent, since the man has to have sex to make the pool of eligibles in the first place. That's when Stacey Campfield interrupted. We pick up the story from Tom Humphrey of the Knoxville News Sentinel:
Campfield: "Sherry, if I had sex with you, I wouldn't want to pay for your children.""What did you say?" said Richardson. (Note: Rep. Sherry Jones is another member of the committee who had spoken against the bill.)
"If I had sex with you, I wouldn't necessarily want to have to pay for your children," replied Campfield. "If I were not the father, I don't think that would be appropriate."
Regular readers of the Mighty Pith know that Campfield may be clinically described as something of a sick bastard when it comes to sexuality and reproduction. Here, he violates two important laws of traditional values. Rule 1: Never publicly presume someone wants to have sex with you. It will send out a Creep Alert! to every woman within a 50-mile radius. Rule 2: Always assume no one wants to have sex with you, because avoiding rejection is way better than having sex any day.
So, here we are, forced to think about Campfield having sex. And I'm going to be honest, my first thought was that no conservative Christian woman are going to have sex with Campfield because they don't have sex with men they aren't married to and no libertarians are going to have sex with Campfield without him using a condom and them being on some form of birth control and no liberal woman who knows him is going to be able to have sex with him since his antics cause arid tightening in Democrats, so Campfield talking about potential kids he might or might not have is a little beside the point.
But my second thought is about how classy it is of Campfield to insinuate that the women on the other side of the discussion were sluts, that, if they were willing to fuck him, of course he couldn't be sure they weren't fucking other guys.
And, yeah, that's kind of insulting.
But, then, I have to wonder-what if that is actually what Campfield has to face? That he can't take for granted that any woman who would be willing to have sex with him would be willing to have sex with him exclusively?
And, frankly, that makes me kind of sad.
Ouch.

Ouch? Consider the criticism is coming from a woman who spends significant time blogging about her "cooter".

Any comment about Campbell having sex is hypothetical. It has to be which is why he's so obsessed with others sexual behavior.
Yep, but I'm not trying to pass laws regulating what anyone else does with theirs, which puts me morally ahead of most of the legislators in this state, so I'm not too worried about it.
Anonymous...so Aunt B. has a thing for the Ben Jones character from Dukes of Hazzard. What's your point?
"Rep. Jeanne Richardson was making the point that such false paternity rulings aren't common and are usually innocent, since the man has to have sex to make the pool of eligibles in the first place"
So what?
What difference does it make whether the original ruling was "innocent" or not?
If the guy isn't the real father, he shouldn't have to support the kid.
That's the bottom line.
No arguments from me on the support thing, Gilbert, but Campfield should probably show some manners when he's talking to ladies, am I right?
I would not have sex with Stacey Campfield in a box. I would not have sex with Stacey Campfield in my socks. I would not have sex with Stacey Campfield with a fox.
Rep. Stacey Campfield is a closet case - He couldn't have real sex with a woman if he wanted to.
What a looser. Just look at any photo of him. Totally gay, but wants to discriminate against gay people.
The dumba$$ folks in K'ville elected him.
Does he come from a gay district?
Any man out there want to confess to having sex with Rep. Stacey Campfield?
