Are Repubs serving us MANURE on a pretty platter?
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???)))))))

And your point is????? I guess all Democrats are lily white, sinless, God-fearing men and women, right? Yeah, right! And which one of the Democrats is NOT using the same platform?
They’d certainly have a stronger case if they could keep their pants zipped, but defining aberrant behavior as abnormal, even while engaging in it, is different from defining it as a valueless "choice," so their position isn’t completely untenable.
Two words: "Blue Dress."
Maybe three, it’s disingenuous. As in – it’s disingenuous to leave one with the impression that only Republicans are capable of lying, cheating, stealing, being gay (as if that’s a character flaw), etc.
I think lying to a Grand Jury is about as bad as it gets when discussing such matters. Don’t see THAT in your diatribe.
The problem with partisan politics in the United States, since the mid 90’s especially, is that the focus is solely on what the politicians do in their personal lives as opposed to what they are not doing for the American people.
I consider myself a Republican, but only because I have slightly more core beliefs fall in line with the republican platform as opposed to the democrat one. The fact that I am conservative in nature would not exclude me from voting for a democrat.
Who really cares if Bill Clinton get freaky with interns or Larry Craig likes gay sex in men’s rooms. Do they truly represent their constituents is all I care about.
