Oh come on.

If Hastert raped a boy it's a Hastert problem, not a GOP problem.

You're way off the deep end on this.


LOL

That is like saying the Catholic Church didn’t have a pedophile problem.


wow, Chillcoot said something worthwhile.

Mal, I fail to see what posting a bunch of pics is supposed to prove, that all molesters are republicans? If so, don't be absurd, I'm sure they come from the entire political spectrum.


No I am not saying that all Republicans are child molesters. What I am saying is the Republican or Conservative Movement has a certain culture much like the Catholic Church had a certain culture where the victims are demonized and the crimes of the guilty are covered up. And just like the Catholic Church Culture the Conservative Culture seems to attract a disproportionate number of child molesters and somehow these child molesters end up in positions of power or prestige in the institution.

I note Huckabee issued a spirted defense of Josh Duggar saying he was really the victim in all of this and didn’t even bother to mention his actual victims. Huckabee is currently tied for number 1 in the field of Republicans running for president in 2016 according to Quinnipiac University. That indicates a problem to me.

BTW bringing up Clinton is pointless. He engaged in a consensual adult relationship. The Republicans we are talking about did not. I suggest we spend at least as much money investigating the Republican party for their institutional behavior of enabling child molesters as we did investigating Bill Clinton for having engaged in a consensual adult relationship. Isn't child molesting and child rape worse than engaging in an extra martial affair with another consenting adult?


Mal, you are making a blanket statement on what you believe to be true. Thhere is no way in the world that what you say could possibly be true. As I said earlier, I'm certain molesters come from all walks of the political spectrum. I could try and spend the time researching how many registered dems are molesters, but it really doesn't interest me that much.

I just don't care for blanket statements, it's a sign of narrow-mindedness or singular of thought, or whatever you prefer to call it.


I think I explained it very well in that last post. It isn't a blanket statement.

Yea it is. I got the point you were trying to make and you're gonna believe what you want to believe, so knock yourself out posting pics and accusations. It really doesn't matter to me very much..at all.

ABC News is now reporting that Speaker Hastert abused a member of his 1970 high school wrestling team named Steve Reinbolt.

Reinbolt told his sister that his first homosexual experience was with Hastert. Reinbolt died of AIDS in 1995.

In Reinboldt’s 1970 high school yearbook, Hastert wrote that Reinbolt was his “great, right hand man."



I really think this sort of thing would happen a lot less if people would stop making some homosexuals think they are bad people because they're attracted to persons of the same sex. "Uncommon" is not a synonym for "wrong."

Priests. Scout troop leaders. High school sports coaches.

Then again, maybe this was more about rape and the availability of lots of potential victims. Who knows.

And just like I said the Republican party has a problem just like the Catholic Church did and Penn State did. The institution itself aided and abetted these pedophiles by covering it up. Hastert knew about Foley for two years and did nothing about it. I wonder who else he knew about? I hope the victims of Republican sexual abuse sue the Republican party just like the victims of Penn State and the Catholic Church did.

"And just like I said the Republican party has a problem "

mal - be careful what you write. Pedophilia is not limited to one party or institution

Google democratic party pedophiles & you get 195,000 hits. At the top is Michael Gardner

Oh I agree there are bad people everywhere, but the democratic party doesn't have a problem like the Republican party of right now does. Hell Trent Franks said just today

I hold Hastert in highest esteem.


That is a problem and it is a current problem. The Republicans need to clean house.
If any Conservative hides emails or screws children, Boiler believes that they should be tossed out of office. I wished that Liberals on this site would agree with me.

Penn State's administration is largely Liberal. Boiler wishes for all pedophiles to be convicted.

The Republican Party doesn't have a pedophile problem. There's no meaningful history of the party covering up for pedophiles.

Yes, some pedophiles have been Republicans. But that's it.

What the party does have is a tendency to attack gays and lesbians. To do everything they can to exclude them from society, to treat them as inferior people. Americans don't like that stuff anymore.

How else to explain the careers of:
Rick Santorum
Pat Buchanan
Mike Huckabee
Pat Robertson
Bob Smith
Gary Bauer
Michele Bachmann

All they stand for is saying "Those people over there? The ones that give us the creeps (but somehow also make us tingle at night)? They aren't good enough to be considered Americans."

And so it really screws with Republicans' heads when the truth about a closeted Republican is revealed.
Mark Foley.
Larry Craig.
Ted Haggard.
David Dreier.
Linsdey Graham.

And now, it would seem, Dennis Hastert.
Boiler and virtually all Conservatives on this site argue that gays should have full rights, but not more rights than you and I. I challenge Chilly to post otherwise.
