Jerry Sandusky lauded by GOP politicians
He-he. From Wiki:

After retirement, Sandusky hosted many summer football camps and was active in The Second Mile, a children's charity he founded in State College, Pennsylvania in 1977.<9> President George H. W. Bush praised the group as a "shining example" of charity work in a 1990 letter,<10> one of that president's much-promoted Thousand points of light encouragements to volunteer community organizations.<6> Citing Sandusky's work with The Second Mile charity to provide care for foster children, then U.S. Senator Rick Santorum honored Sandusky with a “Congressional Angels in Adoption” award in 2002.

1. Honestly, I don't think this is a political scandal
Unless these people who lauded him knew about the allegations against him then we're talking about something completely different.

2. So what?

There's a pic of John Wayne Gacy with Rosalynn Carter. Was she supporting serial murder?

Unrec.

4. OK, I guess we won't add him to this list

If he'd been awarded medals by Dems, it would be all over the news. But I am sure the Repukes appreciate you wanting to play nice

5. I see you have not answered my question.
And if you don't think a similar list could be put together featuring people from every political party ever known, you must be new here...welcome to planet earth.

6. So why are you against exposing the truth about right-wing hypocrites?
You haven't answered that question.

7. I think he's a monster, and somehow connecting that to politics is fucking insulting to the victims
....and if he were a Democrat, you wouldn't have posted anything about it. So who's the hypocrite?

3. Put the all in prison.
Starting with Gov. Corbett, who should have brought charges in 2005.
