Is it Fair to say that REPUBS HAVE CORRUPTED FAMILY VALUES?
Why is it that republican and religious and secular conservatives continue make family values an election issue. The issue of family values and morality was ONE of the hallmark reasons for the Republican take-over of congress and it was also used as a theme during Bush’s first run for office.
Read the list of “hypocrites” below and respond whether or not you think that family values was/is a “SMOKE SCREEN” to win favor and votes
POPULAR SCANDALS
1.Senator Larry Craig, recently pleaded guilty to lued homosexual acts in an Airport. He still defiantly claims that he is not gay.
2.Mark Foley, had phone sex and indecent conversations with male pages.
3.George W. Bush, Republican president, accused in a criminal complaint and lawsuit of raping Margie Schoedinger, who later committed suicide. Accused by Tammy Phillips, a former stripper quoted in the National Enquirer in 2000 saying she had an affair with Bush that had ended in 1999
4.Senator David Vitter (R-La) who ran a hard-core platform on traditional family values, name was found on a Madams list. He told his constituents that it was a “private issue” and to leave him alone.
5.Arnold Schwarzenegger, Republican governor, had sex with a 16 year old when he was 28.
6.Joe Scarborough, former Republican Congressman, currently a conservative talk show host. Resigned his congressional seat abruptly to spend more time with his family, amidst allegations of an affair. His intern, Lori Klausutis, was soon after found dead in his office. The medical examiner, who had his license revoked in Missouri for falsifying information in an autopsy report, and suspended in Florida for six years, ruled the case an accident, after giving conflicting information about her injuries. He said he lied about them because "The last thing we wanted was 40 questions about a head injury."
7.John E. Peterson, Congressman (R-Pa), accused of sexual harassment and creation of a hostile work environment by six women. Peterson has refused to admit a crime, saying only "I may have been an excessive hugger."
8.Henry Hyde, Judge who oversaw Clinton’s impeachment proceedings, prominent opponent of reproductive rights, who had an extramarital affair with a woman who was married and had three children, during the course of which she and her husband were divorced.
9.Newt Gingrich, married three times. Gingrich campaign worker Anne Manning admitted that she gave Newt oral sex while he was still married to his first wife. Informed one wife he was filing for divorce while she was in the hospital recovering from cancer treatments
10.Richard A. Dasen Sr., Republican benefactor of conservative Christian groups, convicted of sexual abuse of children, promotion of prostitution and several counts of solicitation, enough to add up to a sentence of 126 years in prison
Conservative Personalities and Figure Scandals
1.Paul Crouch Televangelist, Former President of Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). Paid 5,000 in hush money in an attempt to cover up a gay affair.
2.Ted Haggard, popular conservative pastor who advised Bush on Family Values issues was outed by a male prostitute who also alleged that he gave Haggard drugs.
3.Rush Limbaugh, triple-divorcee
4.Bill O’Reilly Right-wing conservative talk show host on Fox News, sued for sexual harassment by his producer.
5.Dr. Laura Schlessinger, right wing conservative radio host. Promotes family values, estranged from her mother, opposes birth control, has had her tubes tied, espouses saving oneself for marriage, admits to having had sex before she was married, opposes adultery, has committed adultery while she was married, and has slept with a married man, opposes divorce, is divorced and remarried, has posed for nude photos which are available online.
There are many, many, many more. I know that I am going to be accused of being repub-coserv-basher. I am not, I know the democrats have just as many scandals if not more. However, I think that the whole PLATFORM OF CONSERVATIVE FAMILY VALUES IS A DISINGENIOUS strategy to rally votes and to swing elections. THIS LIST DEMONSTRATES THE FACT THAT NO ONE PRACTICES WHAT THEY PREACH!!!
I also believe that we are all human and everyone makes mistakes, but it is VERY HYPOCRITICAL to impose ideas that these “cultural-icons” don’t keep!
(((What are your thoughts???)))))))

Good list, but unfortunately, there are many more. Whoever gets elected needs to clean house, but will they?
I think that you ought to go ahead and list the democrats who have been caught.
But you are right, people talk about family values and do not live up to them.
Well, some of us try to and do O.K.
Great research done, congrats. but it is not fair.
the primary reason why most political/famous figures say they believe in that system, is only to attract people to come join them. to attract people, you need to seem good. but that does not mean they are real believers themselves of the system, they could be doing the opposite!!! hence, they do not represent the real ideals of the system.
true republicans/democrats who practice their personal beliefs are all good, im very sure. take a look around, and you will see.
take note of the difference my friend.
Hope this helps, Peace.
Excellent list! Add Giuliani to the list, he should be on the top.

There about as conservative as a 2 dollar hooker
…you might was to ask former President "drop-his-pants who was Impeached by Congress on December 18th 1998 and then Democratic Senator Barney Frank of Massachusetts who was running a "fudge-shop" from his house with his "boy friend"…
This is superb material! Thank you very much for posting it. I hope you post it elsewhere, as well, it is very educational, it exposes the "family values" issue as utterly, abysmally, disgustingly hypocritical…behold: even while they are engaging in the conduct they criticize others for, they are looting the treasury and attempting to steal a soverign foreign country’s oil. They are evil, that is the only word for it, even their neglect for the people of New Orleans was politically driven; to try to flip Louisiana from a blue to a red state. So I applaud you for this material, it is great, and if you can post it in many other venues please do so, like letters to the editor, or submitted as op-ed pieces to major newspapers, or even sent to news departments at TV and radio stations. Anyway, thank you very much!
Bravo to you! Cudos to you for listing all of this. But you forgot that Rush talked about drug users and dealers and then we found out he was an addict. And there are some idiots who think he’s credible. Another tidbit for you: In the past decade a study shows that 50% more Republicans (Presidents, Governors and Congressman) have been involved in sex scandals than Democrats. Don’t you think it’s time they get off Bill Clinton? At least he never claimed to not be a heterosexual. And to Sir William above me: Barney Frank was not a liar. He never claimed to be heterosexual. He runs as what he is homosexual. And he got elected. Maybe some people just appreciate the truth. I got nothing against homosexuals, but I don’t like Congressmen lying about their orientation.
For years the Republicans campaigned on the evils of communism and how it would destroy this country. Well we have seen the fall of communism and the Republicans needed new issue to throw fear into the American public. They avoid real issues in elections and attack the candidates.
So today the master mind of Bush Karl Rove uses the gay marriage issue and family values to sell to the public. Worked in 2004 but not in 2006.
I THINK ITS THE ONLY WAY THEY THINK THEY CAN WIN BUT THEN THEY END UP COMING OUT WITH THE TRUTH.
