1. The list chracterizes some gay Republicans as "perverts"

(Jeff Gannon, for example) and in one instance characterizes consensual, extramarital sex between a man and a woman (Newt Gingrich and Annette Manning) as perverted. While I have no qualms with calling child molesters "perverts," there are a few folks on the list who are hypocrites, but not perverts.

3. I agree.

Changed it, I appreciate your correction.

4. Wow, what a list! Amazing how many of those Christian Coalition

members are on the list..

[Philosoraptor]

6. Some of the Christian coalitian must be in a state of shock.

8. In shock, because they might be caught too..

9. Great. They'll stop having furtive public sex, the tension will build then...

BOOM!!! They'll do something really crazy and stupid and go all Ted Haggard on us.

It's not going to be pretty folks.

7. Good God, they certainly are a randy bunch.

11. Sorry to be persnickety, but that's a list of "Republican sex scandals,"

and while having sex with kids is certainly "perverted," that list includes several instances of gay and extramarital sex between consenting adults which aren't perverted in the least. I always hate seeing consensual gay sex between adults turn up on such lists because the "family values" party's problem isn't homosexuality; it's hypocrisy.

12. By Republican lights, gay and extramarital sex *IS* perverted.

They should be measured by their own standards.

13. I disagree. Double standards don't get any better just because it's us imposing them.

Exposing people for their hypocrisy is one thing, but putting gay sex on the same list as pedophilia is just ignorant and mean-spirited.

14. Dupe. Self-delete. (nt)

10. Here's an easier URL to remember :

http://www.republicansexoffenders.com

By the way: "* Republican activist and Christian Coalition leader Beverly Russell admitted to an incestuous relationship with his step daughter."

Beverly Russell's step daughter is Susan Smith. Remember her? The girl in South Carolina who drowned her 2 kids in the car and blamed it on a black man because she wanted to be with her lover.
