Is it a rule that repugs have to be perverts?

1. Link is broken.

But yeah, being a bottom dweller seems to be a prerequisite for GOP lawmakers.

2. Interesting...that story seems to have magically vanished from the Sun-Sentinel's website...

I wonder why?

3. Delete the "k" at the end of the link and it works.

Story's up.

Fucking Republicans.

9. Not just perverts, but they're definitely welcome in the GOP

Perverts, thieves, and psychopaths (rump hit the trifecta) are just the folks that powerbrokers want in office: they’re compromised and therefore controllable. Scratch the surface of any repug politician and you’ll find secrets that run contrary to their public persona.

10. "...and many of them are on the younger side."

“I've known Jeff (Epstein) for 15 years. Terrific guy,'' Trump told New York Magazine back in 2002. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it - Jeffrey enjoys his social life."

13. Is it a rule?

You don’t have to be a pervert, but it helps.

[AZ8theist]

15. It's a feature, not a bug....

[paleotn]

14. Might as well be a rule....

Some giant picked up one end of the country and all the shit rolled down the Republican Party. They truly are the worst of us.

[cstanleytech]

16. Every party has ones like this the problem is the utter hypocrisy the Republicans display when they

claim to be the more moral and believers of god party even though the majority are not.

[bucolic_frolic]

17. The sense of entitlement

totally Republican

[LudwigPastorius]

18. Cue the, "It's just 'locker room' talk" Republican apologists.

You know it's coming.

[ProfessorGAC]

24. Probably So

But as a basketball player & track athlete I've been in plenty of locker rooms.
Rape was NEVER a subject of locker room banter.
It can't just be the locker rooms I was personally in.
That is a weak excuse & a lie.

[sandensea]

19. It's a rule they have to hypocrites

Of course, since so much of their rhetoric revolves around "family values" - naturally, they'd have to be sex fiends as well.

20. "Is it a rule that repugs have to be perverts?"

Yes. Especially the Christian ones.

[world wide wally]

21. They just gravitate that way
