The Repulicans are no alternative to the Democrats. They, too, are socialists. The Republicans, however, are more commonly of the Communistic variety.

Communists primarily are concerned with the creation of the "good citizen" or the good "communist man." As such they stress common values and strictly enforced morality. This harkens to the Rs "family values" and "moral majority." Communists are the ones who begat the anti-drug movement long ago, back when all drugs in the US were legal that there was no war on drugs, less crime, fewer political prisoners in the US and a freer America. Communists believe they have the right to tell women and families how many children they can have and are willing to mandate or prohibit abortion and regulate family size.

Republicans tend to be communistic socialists. They support big government of a slightly different nature, but big and evil all the same.

Dems & Rep are both hypocrits, but this is rich:

http://www.nationalreview.com/murdock/murdock200506171255.asp

"Sen. John Kerry (D. Mass.) sailed into hot water last year when tax returns revealed that he also paid the Bay State�s lower tax rate. Kerry thus enjoyed state tax cuts akin to the federal tax reductions he excoriated on the campaign trail. Then again, perhaps he intended to pay Massachusetts� higher rate, but his calculator slid off his yacht."

Mar 31st, 2009 | WASHINGTON -- Health and Human Services nominee Kathleen Sebelius recently corrected three years of tax returns and paid more than $7,000 in back taxes after finding "unintentional errors" -- the latest tax troubles for an Obama administration nominee. The Kansas governor explained the changes to senators in a letter dated Tuesday that the administration released. She said they involved charitable contributions, the sale of a home and business expenses.

None of these cases are tax evasion. This is not a criminal matter, except for perhaps the criminal complexity of Title 26, the Tax Code itself.

Yeah, I know. But it is amusing, given that they're all Democrats.

Why arent Dems paying their taxes?

They're priveleged, rich, old white guys.

That demographic cuts right across party lines.


A much better question would be 'Just which senior official in the whitehouse doesnt have direct ties and interests on Wall St.?"

I'm guessing that's a pretty low number.

I believe the webmaster has offered a reward for anyone who can show just 10 such Democrats. It continues to go unclaimed.

It is a peculiarly Republican phenomenon.

Only it's not. Common sense should tell you that party affilation has nothing to do with pedophila.
But since common sense has apparently left you...here are some links

"Common sense" is often appealed to when actually considering the evidence may actually challenge one's accepted beliefs.

The ability to count has apparently left you, Urban Myth. There is a grand total of exactly FOUR Democratic officials involved in underage sex scandals on thos two sites you provided, and three of those were with 16-year-olds who would be legal in many states. The fourth was that of Gerry Studds form 25 years ago who won re-election six times after that.

Meanwhile, there are nearly A HUNDRED on the page I linked to.

And I got no love for the Democratic Party, either.

It has NOTHING to do with the numbers. What are you on about?

You said it was "peculiarly Republican" and I said no it's not. Democracts are involved in this as well. And how about the first thread, in which more than a dozen Democracts went to bat for this convicted sex offender and gave him a job? Enabling a sex offender puts one on par with him or her. And how many of the Republican sex offenders were with 16 years olds as well...I noticed you didn't bother counting THAT.

But like I said it's got nothing to do with counting. If it was "peculiarly Republican" then Democrats wouldn't be involved either in sex scandels or helping convicted child molesters to get a job.

"Peculiarly" doesn't generally mean "exclusively." OK, pedophilia is only "overwhelmingly Republican." Or you could say it is "characteristically Republican" and "uncharacteristically Democrat" if you insist on splitting hairs.

Armchair Subversive catalogs Republican Party officials convicted for underage sex offenses. Don't strawman the argument by starting to count "enabling," whatever that means. After all, they weren't hiring him to have underage sex now, were they? And you haven't counted all the Republican "enablers," did you?

OK, you asked for it:

YOUR GOVERNMENT AT WORK

Embattled AG now accused in teen sex scandal 'cover-up'

Attorney General Gonzales among officials who allegedly ignored abuse of minor boys
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted: March 25, 2007
9:49 pm Eastern

By Jerome R. Corsi
� 2009 WorldNetDaily.com



Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, both already under siege for other matters, are now being accused of failing to prosecute officers of the Texas Youth Commission after a Texas Ranger investigation documented that guards and administrators were sexually abusing the institution's teenage boy inmates.

Among the charges in the Texas Ranger report were that administrators would rouse boys from their sleep for the purpose of conducting all-night sex parties.

Ray Brookins, one of the officials named in the report, was a Texas prison guard before being hired at the youth commission school. As a prison guard, Brookins had a history of disciplinary and petty criminal records dating back 21 years. He retained his job despite charges of using pornography on the job, including viewing nude photos of men and women on state computers.

The Texas Youth Comission controversy traces back to a criminal investigation conducted in 2005 by Texas Ranger Brian Burzynski. The investigation revealed key employees at the West Texas State School in Pyote, Texas, were systematically abusing youth inmates in their custody.

Burzynski presented his findings to the attorney general in Texas, to the U.S. Attorney Sutton, and to the Department of Justice civil rights division. From all three, Burzynski received no interest in prosecuting the alleged sexual offenses.

Maybe, but giving someone a job isn't enabling a sex offender, it's just... giving them a job. Unless the employment in question is something along the lines of a school teacher or day care worker, I guess. In this case, though, it wasn't.

So you agree that this affects both parties then? Okay, so we are both on the same page.
