Piety Pimps

GOP = GROSS OLD PERVERTS

In the last 23 months 10 Republican perverts have been exposed: Richard Curtis ®WA, Larry Craig ®ID, Bob Allen ®FL, Mark Foley ®FL, Michael A. Flory ®MI, Glen Murphy ®IN, John D.R. Atchison ®FL, Dennis Gallagher ®NY, Randall Tobias ® DC, David Vitter ® LA.

This rogues gallery accounts for at least 7 cases of infidelity, 6 cases of homosexual sex, 5 cases of prostitution/solicitation, 3 cases of rape/sexual assault, 2 cases of pedophilia, and 10 cases of hypocrisy.

The Republican party is the party of "Family Values," if your idea of a family is the Manson Family.

Republican Congressman Blames His Gay Sex on His Fear of Black Men

According to news reports, Florida Representative Bob Allen (Republican) was arrested last July 11 for soliciting sex from an undercover black male cop. The reason he gave was his fear of black men...

Now many will quickly ask what rational person would believe such a cockamamy story ?

But hold on, now.. READ THE REST

Guest Commentary: Not Your Father's Party

Do you think you couldn't possibly have anything in common with a Republican, a former Reagan White House counsel? Then read on:

When I began asking questions about what I saw going on at Colorado Springs in 2004 I never expected that the inquiry would lead me to the horrifying conclusion that our country had been taken over by people who have used our own freedoms to enslave us. But that is what happened. When I began I, like most people, was focused on the personal. I believed that what was happening at the United States Air Force Academy, the harassment of cadets and staff with unwanted evangelism, was limited in scope. As the months passed, however, I found myself forced to constantly reassess my basic assumptions. The logic of events was stark and undeniable. Promises of an open inquiry were ignored; decent and courageous people like former Air Force Chaplin MeLinda Morton were intentionally muzzled to ensure the truth would not be heard and the wrongs righted.

As a Republican and an Academy graduate I find myself in head on conflict with my own oath to protect the Constitution. As a Jew I confronted a situation through ears that still hear the cries of my people walking silently into the brick buildings that would reduce them to ash. I cannot stand still and let that happen to my country.

The Resource List of GOP Family Values Hypocrites (With Links)

Feel free to pass this list (including links) along to your self-righteous GOP friends and neighbors.

For the sake of brevity, I won’t get into the well-documented history of GOP graft and corruption. Instead, I’ll concentrate on sexual morality, since this is the subject in which rightwing Republicans sanctimoniously declare their superiority to Democrats. Do they really hold the moral high ground over the Dems? As you will discover, there is overwhelming evidence which proves quite the opposite. If this were a contest, these sexually repressed neo-cons would be the hands-down winners when measuring them by their own standards.

Ralph Reed Pimped Child Sex Slavery

There is a special place in Hell for Ralph Reed, who is still running for Lt. Gov. of Georgia, as part of his plan to win national office in the near future. Reed's Democratic opponent, Greg Hecht, has never pimped child sex slavery. Support Hecht here. From the Pentagon Post:

It's Time to Expose the Piety Pimps - and the Republicans who Fund Them

As the massive GOP corruption scandal unfolds, we are discovering that every contract awarded by Republicans involves cronyism and kickbacks - whether in Iraq (Halliburton et al), Katrina (Halliburton et al), Duke Cunningham, etc.

One especially infuriating dimension of GOP contracting corruption involves contracts awarded to religious right groups, whose only claim to existence is that they serve God with greater devotion than mainstream or liberal religious groups.

But now it is clear that the religious right serves mammon, and it uses public piety simply as a scam to steal from taxpayers like you and me. These corrupt thieves deserve a name, so I will adapt a favorite enemy of the Gingrich Revolution, the poverty pimps, and christen them as the piety pimps.

Remember the Terri Schiavo case?

I bet the media who help spread all those lies and blasting her husband won't print or retract an update. All the damage they caused... but if he were wrong; it would be all over the place, he would have even more threats.

Schiavo Autopsy Shows Massive Brain Damage
Jun 15, 08:10 PM EDT
By MITCH STACY - Associated Press Writer

LARGO, Fla. (AP) -- The autopsy of Terri Schiavo backed her husband's contention that she was in a persistent vegetative state, finding she was severely and irreversibly brain-damaged and blind as well. The report, released Wednesday, also found no evidence that she was strangled or otherwise abused before she collapsed.

Dying Pope trumps Shiavo

Living just a few miles from Tampa/St. Pete I have braced myself for a long drawn out series of media extravaganza regarding the Schindler/Shiavo feud staring Randle Terry freshly regurgitated from the slim pits of hell, Jessie Jackson doing his best to get our minds and memories off his beautifully orchestrated Jim Baker impersonation and that lowest of the low Frank Pavone the so called priest of the Schindler family that makes the pedophile priests Richard Lavigne, Paul Shanley and the now dead John Geoghan seem like saints, I am almost relieved to hear that Pope John Paul II is taking the worlds attention away from this repulsive personal tragedy.
