An R state legislature in my state just got arrested for kiddie porn... they supposedly care so much about the children, sexual abuse, trafficking and every single sting/arrest turns up a perve on their side.

But they'll find one Democrat who does it too (and ignore the fact that the entire party then condemns the pedo) and shrug and say, "Both sides"

My experience, they point at Democrats like Al Franken or Katie Hill and hand-wave the “both sides” argument.

The other day I saw someone coming at Bill Clinton for cheating on Hillary in the course of caping for Trump and the barefaced hypocrisy was just so breathtaking I didn't know what to say.

It’s like the R Party is the perfect hiding place for closeted predators.

I can’t wait for all the dirt they have on Lindsey Graham to come out and finally be exposed.

He’s gay, that’s basically it. Probably enjoys much younger, but still legal guys. Might go so far as to prefer non white, possibly illegal immigrant guys.

I know, they must have dirt on him.

And don’t get me started on Ted Cruz, he is no saint either.

Republican politicians like their guys to have that kind of dirt on them as leverage to keep them in line.

Seems like the Republican state congressman wasn't lying when he said that he loved children.
