Conservs MAKING SUCKERS out of US????
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

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???)))))))

I can’t imagine being the kid of a Lib and realizing my parents have no values to speak of.
What’s your relationship with your kid, Libs?
If you really had any intelligent thought, Id let you know that :
First, yes, many (NOT ALL) on that list are sh_ _eads.
Second, Democrats make suckers of themselves by their own reckless ignorant behavior. If we researched a list on Democrats, itd be twice as long.
It would seem some are doing a little "sucking" on their own….
Sam if the Republicans are trying to show their kids values it probably the old "do as I say not as I do" ideology.
This answer is pretty easy. As long as the Republicans keep saying gay is bad they will get the Religious Right to support them. No matter how many divorces, affairs, and homosexual encounters you can find. The only good thing is that we are only endowed with the term family values and Republicans only every 2-4 years.
his daddy went out for a pack of sigs and never came back
Republicans need to drop the moral values pretensions. We don’t need hypocritical preachers to run our government, we need capable, intelligent and responsive officials.
I see nothing but attacks so far… you must be correct.
Regardless of those who don’t exactly walk the straight and narrow path, family values are important for the health of our society. Without promoting family values, things can only get worse. It sometimes helps to plant the seed of a thought or belief in something like family values to keep it healthy and growing.
I’ll never understand why anyone, middle and lower class, supports a Republican! What has that party ever done for you? Republicans support the rich with tax cuts, bailouts, protected investment, special financial treatment, they send your family members off to war, not theirs, they talk of family values, but have a worse record than any other party as a whole, they don’t do anything for your interests. They have the biggest, most intrusive gov’t in history. Dems want to fight for your interests, your job, your health care, your kids education, the things that you value…when did a Republican congress or Prez ever do that? duped? you bet Americans are duped ……big time!
What exactly is your point? You use the National Enquirer as a factual source; you embellish several of your your alleged disgressions; you lump a lot of diverse people into your "Conservative" pot; and, for what exactly?
That humans make mistakes and are fallible? Hmm, I think a sane person already knew that. Rather than posting similiar examples of fallibility on the left, I’ll just leave you to your smug superiority.
I just heard this morning on CSPAN that George Washington had illegitimate children with slaves. This stuff has been going on since the beginning of recorded history. Saying one party has better morals than the other is like saying Republicans have a different DNA structure than Democrats.
We are all individuals regardless of party affiliation. Integrity is an individual thing. Parents need to teach their children values, not the government. The government needs to either lead by example or, if that isn’t possible, at the very least, use some discretion. Frankly, I don’t want to hear about their sleazy activities.
