How deep is the cult's influence?

[kentuck]

So long as others support their Leader, his supporters are content to forgive and forget. Of course, they must have an (R) by their name. They could even be indicted for serious crimes...

Rep. Chris Collins of New York and Duncan Hunter of California have both been charged with some very serious crimes. But, for some reason, they had to remain on the ballots?

Both won their races to go back to Washington. The standard for the cult is very, very low.

1. that's true. 40 years later we've been framed out of consideration from far too many voters.

they'd rather vote for a criminal than a "Godless" Liberal or Democrat. They'd rather vote for the vile Oink in the WhiteHouse and the chaos he brings than the most qualified Presidential candidate of our lifetimes. One could say they're stupid (then why do they have the courts stacked for 3 generations?) and they're racist (not really, some in the south sure, but not all of them by any means).
One could say they're voting against their interest (possibly many even know that).
What you can't say is it's THEIR problem. It's all of our problem because we're stuck with the government they've chosen for us.

2. Felonies? No worries. Rape? No biggie. Child rape? No problemo.

3. From what I remember from the indictment, the evidence on Hunter seemed like a slam dunk.

When was the last time a sitting Congressman was convicted *and imprisoned* while in office? Anyone know off the top of their head?

4. Don't forget the dead guy in Nevada.

The dead brothel-keeper.

They elected a corpse. GOPers are really weird.

5. Hate the sin, elect the sinner

Pulse is not required!

6. We elected one in 2000

His name was Mel Carnahan, and he was a very popular Democratic Missouri governor running against John Ashcroft. He died in a plane crash 11 days before the election and still managed to flip the seat.
