Wikipedia has a list of sex scandals from various times frames. I counted the Republicans

and the Democrats and here is what I got, (for these 2 time frames)

2000 - 2009

Republicans - 12
Democrats - 4

2004 - 2017

Republicans - 11
Democrats - 4

More proof that the Republican party is significantly less moral than the Democratic party. Even, or especially since they call themselves the moral majority

the term "moral majority". If that is true I am not surprised. Repub are the biggest hypocrites on the planet besides those associated with religion. The stupid Americans buy the "old time religion" hook, line and sinker year in and year out. What a scam and con job.

I thought about counting up the numbers, too, but I didn't have the stomach for it. But at least someone is keeping it up to date since they have Barton on there.
