Bill Foster Spousal Abuse Scandal Gaining Momentum

Court records say Democrat Congressional candidate abused wife

Bill Foster Spousal Abuse Heard On The Hill

Court records at odds with Bill Foster, Claims that he Abused Wife and Held Her Hostage 

The MSM has yet to pick this up, if Foster was a Republican the press would be all over it, I really hate it when the press shows their biases, even though it seems the local press is starting to figure out that Foster is a empty suit that is so out of touch with the 14th district that he would be a disaster as a Congressman. Just what the people of the 14th need is a congressman that has no answer for anything except for blame bush but is too afraid to publicly face an opponent in a debate.

Pretty sad really.

Tough enough to shove a woman around but not man enough to stand up and show people how empty your suit really is.

A mention was made in Roll Call:

Pretty much every politician’s Web site touts adoring endorsements of his or her bona fides for public office. But a politician getting an ex-wife to sing his praises on his campaign Web site is a rarity.
It’s no political ex-wives’ club for Illinois Democrat Bill Foster’s ex-wife, Ann. Actually, Foster, who is running in a March 8 special election for the open 14th district seat previously held by former Speaker Dennis Hastert (R), has a secret weapon in his ex. Things weren’t always so rosy between the Fosters, who divorced in 1996. In typical divorce fashion, the pair had quite a messy separation, according to court documents. Unsurprisingly, the Republican blogosphere has gleefully picked apart the salacious details in hopes of keeping Hastert’s old seat in Republican hands. Though the blogs aired some of the allega-

tions Ann made against her husband at the time, HOH won’t do the same.

HOH will say that it appears that more than a decade later, the pair has let bygones be bygones. Foster’s campaign site states: “Bill and Ann are both very proud of remaining on good terms and making things as easy as possible for their kids, who seem to be doing well in life!”

Ann, who works as a software engineer for her ex-husband’s company, concurs.

Hopefully we will see more of this, the people have the right to know if they are voting for a wife beater.
