Let's face it. The Republicans are preoccupied with sex.
It's more than just a wedge issue. It's more than just a convenient way to go after Bill Clinton. As the behavior of more and more Republicans comes to light, we are faced with overwhelming proof - the Republican Party is full of sex addicts.

These people can't stop talking about sex. They are constantly pushing legislation involving sex - gay sex, teen sex, unmarried sex, public sex, unprotected sex. The word "condom" winds them up. They can't get "it" out of their minds.

Bills to make gay marriage unconstitutional, bills limiting access to contraceptives, bills making abortion illegal, bills setting harsh penalties for public sex, bills outlawing sex education, bills pushing abstinence-only sex education....all the Republicans ever seem to think about is sex, sex, sex. Look at the pictures of torture in Abu Ghraib. Nudity and sexual humiliation.

Meanwhile, what is the average Republican doing when he's not pushing bills about his favorite subject, sex? Apparently, he's engaging in sex! Not just with his wife. There's sex with prostitutes, sex with pages, sex with undercover police officers. Sex while wearing diapers. Sex while snorting meth. It's just wall-to-wall sex for the Republican Party.

Listen to the constant gabbing from the right about Bill Clinton's penis. It's been what - eight years, more? - since Monica Lewinsky gave Bill a blow job and the Republicans still can't stop talking about it. They sound like third graders who were the last ones in their class to find out where babies come from, and now they can't stop sniggering.

It's time for the grownups to tell the third-graders to get over it. The next time some idiot says, "Bill Clinton did it too!" ask them why they are so preoccupied with Bill Clinton's penis. Penis envy?

1. Play a game sometime.
Tell yourself that something is a sin and doesn't belong in your life any more. It can be the gambling you might do three times a year at an Indian casino. It can be the chocolate cake you only get at birthdays. It can be exceeding the speed limit by even the 2 MPH fudge factor. Just try denying yourself this one simple thing.

My guess is that over a period of several weeks, you will become obsessed with it, watching to see if other people do whatever it is, remembering what it was like when you once did it, wondering if anybody will really know if you sneak, just once.

Such is the GOP religious preoccupation with sex. Telling them to get over it is pointless. If they are convinced they must be denied something, then by golly, so will the rest of the world be denied it.

4. I agree, but which came first - their obsession or their denial?
I mean, I have never really felt that I was denying myself sex in diapers. It just doesn't rank anywhere near chocolate cake on my list of things that I really want. Same with sex with hookers while fried on meth. I've never had to say to myself, "Get yourself in hand - you can't solicit sex with that stranger in the public bathroom!"

I mean, where did it come from in these guys' twisted little heads?

12. The denial started when they were boy children in Sunday school
as they learned girls were unclean much of the time, that women were inferior, and that sex, which meant getting naked with these inferior creatures, was something to cause deep shame as it disappointed the sexless gawd that created it (boing boing boing) unless its sole purpose was to create more soldiers for gawd.

The girls learned that they were unclean and inferior and that sex was the cause of all misery since they'd been fully human in Eden before they ate an apple and presumably fucked Adam.

14. So it goes back to the inequality in gender roles - discrimination against women.
That makes sense to me. It's pathetic, too.

22. Freudianism 101
in a nutshell: repression breeds obsession, obsession breeds transgression. IOW, the more you try to deny a normal and healthy desire, the more likely it is that the repressee will end up "acting out" in some really messed-up way.

7. But why these particular desires?
Does repression of normal, healthy sexual desire lead to this bizarre behavior?

15. That explains their insane preoccupation with Bill Clinton.
Apparently, to Republicans Bill is the biggest gorilla of all. I think that they secretly admire him but since he's not on their team, they have to try to destroy him.

16. The best definition of PERVERT I ever came across is the one I made up:
A pervert is a person who is compulsively interested in the sexual practices of people who want absolutely nothing to do with them.

All Republicans are perverts. They all want to involve themselves with other people's genitals.

20. I've said for a long time that I believe
that some of the things that go on in their heads are so scary, they assume that EVERYONE has those thoughts--whatever they may be--so they go wonky over anything connected with sex. They're terrified of that part of themselves, perhaps rightfully, and project their demons on everyone else.

its with my wife, not diapers or reptiles or children or housing materials or staple guns.

38. Not only sex,but,
cheap sex when they ruin the economy then people with nothing left to sell but themselves fall right into their hands, also incest seems to be a big thing with these people. The cheaper and more forbidden the greater the pleasure.
