What is it with Republicans? (Vitter)

Yanno, getting caught using the services of a prostitute is typical politican stuff. It barely even registers as scandalous anymore. But every Republican that gets caught always has to throw in some bizarre fetish. What gives? :shrug:

Can't wait to hear...no crime, I never agreed to swallow!

The whole Republicans-as-financial-crooks thing makes perfect sense, since the party's essentially a wealth-and-power-worship cult. You'd expect to find lots of white collar crime in that crowd.

The sex thing, I have no idea. Maybe some DUer who knows something about psychology can fill us in on things that people with different fetishes all have in common, and maybe it'll make sense. Maybe there's an underlying common factor that makes someone like diaper play that also makes them authoritarian money-grubbers? I dunno...

thought in their tiny little minds, I want it now. Wives are torphies that bear their children so they can parade them around in public to prove that not only are they family men, but also so they can declare, see my dick works.
The women they marry are as self centered and greedy as their mates. Marriage isn't about love or sex, its about money and power. That is why paying for sex or gay sex doesn't effect a republican marriage, the women are relieved that they can avoid the filthy animals pawing on them. By going after others for what they themselves do is a justification tactic, never mind I pay for sex or that boys turn me on, look at my record instead and you know where my morals are, just ignore my actions that prove I have less morals then a male dog after a female in heat.

N.C. House Rep. David Almond, R-Stanfield, is under investigation

"claims severe enough he’s consulted legal council and will likely resign his post."

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

Glad to be here.

goo-goo ga-ga

Then go back, exhibit, to the repressed behavior with a vengeance.

You've got types like Almond who are just weirdo freaks, and people like Foley who are voting against their own interests, and dudes like this shithead.

Oh and who was McCarthy's right hand man?
