Republican Candidate Married to Two Women at Same Time
Documents show issues with wives, child support

By Caitlin Rother
UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER
June 2, 2006

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.

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.

5. Damn, it just never ends with these people, does it?
Even my self-righteous rep, Madame Virginia Foxx, has a sordid past. She apparently was fired from a university back in the 70s for having not one, but several affairs with various superiors in an effort to get (a)head. So much for family values.

10. Now those are the real GOP family values
Men are kings and women and children are their property, to be abused or discarded at will with impunity. If the shabby and annoying first, second, third, or fourth wife starves along with all the kids he produced, well, it's HER fault for having kids with him.

14. And wouldn't you know....
(Also from the article)

This message brought to you by the pro-fetus party:

Terry said she went on welfare after she separated from Galley in July 1981. She provided Michigan court records to show Galley defaulted on support payments for their two children in the 1980s, which forced the Michigan welfare system to obtain the money through legal proceedings.

And whilst the GLBT community was hard at work threatening the sanctity of Galley's marriage(s)....

Galley said that when he married Beth, “I had honestly thought that my divorce had gone through on the first marriage.”

Galley is married to his third wife, Carol.

In addition to his “pro-traditional family” stance, Galley promotes his belief in a “strong military.”


Just another anti-gay marriage hypocrite. Galley's hypocrisy hasn't deterred supporters from his own party, either.

Although Galley, 50, has never held elective office, his campaign Web site says he is endorsed in Tuesday's primary election by a number of current and former Republican elected officials from San Diego County.

They include former Rep. Brian Bilbray, who is running to replace imprisoned former Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham in the 50th District; former Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian; El Cajon Councilman Bob McClellan; and Assemblymen George Plescia and Mark Wyland. The site says Bruce Ruff, who is challenging Sheriff Bill Kolender, has also endorsed him.


The GOP. Doncha just love it, Amerikka?

22. You know, I've been divorced. Once. And I got papers in the mail
that formally acknowledged the divorce. Papers from the courthouse, in absolutely unmistakeable packaging. And those papers clearly stated that my marriage was officially dissolved and I was free to marry again.

How could someone just assume that they're divorced? Wouldn't you be certain you had obtained the papers before you remarried? And when you go to remarry, aren't you asked if you've been married before? And if you say yes, aren't you expected to produce proof that the previous marriage was dissolved? So when he was asked this, did he tell the truth? Or did he lie about the first wife?

In any case, bigamy notwithstanding, is there a candidate alive today who doesn't understand that oppo research will be done on him/her, and any skeletons, such as delinquent child support, are going to be discovered?

He's not mine, so I don't know the gender, but the bunny is just too cute.

17. Clearly committed relationships between same sex couples
