The Shameful Record of Republican Personal Immorality
see also Pages : 1   or   2 of   Republican political corruption

Conservatives promote the idea that Democrats should hang their heads in shame over people like Larry Flint, a publisher of pornography, just because such people may have revealed that they vote Democratic.  But political parties can't control or be responsible for those who vote for their party's candidates.  What parties can control is whom they endorse to run under their banner for any public office.  And the Democratic Party doesn't promote people like Larry Flint for public office. Contrast that to the kinds of people the Republican Party regularly selects for positions of leadership in their party, the kind highlighted on this page.

Republican "Paragons of Virtue"
Section I - at the National level :

• President Donald J. Trump, whom every honest adult in America knows has only been getting aware with all kinds of sexual and other immorality because he has the support of wo many other immoral people who benefit from his power and/or wealth.
• Judge Roy Moore (R-AL), who failed to win election to the U.S. Senate in 2018, despite the support of most of his state's white Christian Republican voters, who believed his word over the many women who accused him of sexually molesting them in their youth.
• Senator John Ensign (R-NV.) confessed to serious cheating on his wife with a staffer and caught paying hush money to the husband, his chief of staff.
• Gov. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.), confessed to serious cheating on his wife after leaving his state unsupervised for a week.
• Senator Larry Craig (R-ID.), caught in a gay sex sting operation in a Minn. bathroom.
• Senator David Vitter (R-LA), found to have been a client of prostitutes in D.C. & Louisiana.

• In Connecticut, the holier-than-thou Republican party chose the mayor of one of the state's largest cities as its candidate for the U.S. Senate.  If Joe Lieberman had caved in to Republican demands in the year 2000 that he not run for relection to the senate at the same time that he was running for the vice presidency, then our nation would have had a Republican Senator from Conn., named Philip Giordano at least until he was sentenced to serve his 37 year sentence in Federal prison as a result of the FBI investigating him for financial shenanigans and discovering in the process that this crooked, disgusting Republican office holder had been repeatedly molesting two pre-teen little girls related to his prostitute-mistress (in the mayor's office among other places).
     There was more on this disgusting Republican office holder at : 1010wins.com/topstories, but it has since been removed.

• Bob Packwood, Senator (R-Ore.), resigned in 1995 under a threat of public senate hearings related to 10 female ex-staffers accusing him of sexual harassment.

Republican Congressmen :

• Rep. Mark Foley, (R-Fl.) forced to resign when he was found to be having inappropriate communications with male pages.
• William "Wild Bill" Janklow, (R-ND) was promoted to many high offices in very conservative South Dakota, including the 27th and 30th Governor, 25th Attorney General, and the United States Congress. He was only removed from office when he was forced to after being convicted of killing someone with his car while speedy through a stop sign. ( The superintendent of the state highway patrol, reported at his trial that Janklow had 16 traffic stops by troopers during his last term as governor, but was not ticketed due to "respect for his authority" and out of a "fear of retribution.")
          But why did the Republican Party select this man to run for so many high offices in its name? In 1955, at the age of 16, he was convicted of the sexual assault of a 17-year old woman. As a juvenile offense, this conviction carried little weight under U.S. law.

  However, in 1966, while working as the tribal attorney for the Rosebud Sioux, Janklow-aged 27-was accused of raping his children's 15-year-old babysitter, Jancita Eagle Deer. Adult sexual offenses being more grave than this earlier recorded exploit, Janklow used his capacity as head of reservation legal services to stave off the (illegible) of formal, federal charges. He then resigned his position and left tribal jurisdiction." . . .

  (Janklow may be the only known sex offender and accused rapist in living memory to have occupied a U. S. governor's office).

  "Had it not been for the intervention of the FBI in the form of its undercover agent, Douglass Durham, it seems possible that Janklow would have gone to the state prison rather than to the state capitol. Conversely, had it not been for the unabashed cooperation of Attorney General William Janklow, the reign of terror perpetrated by the FBI against the American Indian Movement would have been much more difficult to pull off."

• Rep. DesJarlais, who is also a doctor, made the unfortunately rather common decision to cheat on his wife before assuming office. However, that's not all he did. You see, besides cheating on his wife, Rep. DesJarlais' choice of partners bears mention � specifically, he�
  admitted under oath to at least six affairs, including two affairs with his patients and staffers, while he was a physician at Grandview Medical Center in Jasper, TN.
  Wrote false prescriptions for one of his mistresses to get drugs, and�
  Pressured his own wife to get an abortion � twice � while campaigning as a supposedly family values-friendly candidate.
  tried to persuade a mistress who was his patient, into an abortion as well.
  The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports:

  A decade before calling himself "a consistent supporter of pro-life values," Tennessee physician and Republican U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais supported his ex-wife's decision to get two abortions before their marriage, according to the congressman's sworn testimony during his divorce trial. Obtained by the Chattanooga Times Free Press, the couple's 2001 trial transcript also confirms DesJarlais had sexual relationships with at least two patients, three coworkers and a drug representative while he was chief of staff at Grandview Medical Center in Jasper, Tenn. During one affair with a female patient, DesJarlais prescribed her drugs, gave her an $875 watch and bought her a plane ticket to Las Vegas, records show.

  wrote false prescriptions for one of his mistresses to get drugs, and�
  pressured his own wife to get an abortion � twice � while campaigning as a supposedly family values-friendly candidate.
  tried to persuade a mistress who was his patient, into an abortion as well.
• Newt Gingrich (R-GA) According to L. H. Carter, reported to be one of Gingrich's closest friends until a falling-out in 1979,  "Newt is amoral.  There isn't any right or wrong,  there isn't any conservative or liberal.  There's only what will work best for Newt Gingrich."
          Mary Kahn, wife of Mr. Gingrich's Congressional campaign manager during the 1970s said, "Newt uses people and then discards them as useless.  He really is a man with no conscience.  He just doesn't seem to care who he hurts or why." Keep those to quotes in mind as you read what Mr. Gingrich told the Washington Post on January 3, 1995:  "I have an enormous personal ambition.  I want to shift the entire planet.  And I am doing it."
• Bob Livingston (R-LA) was about to replace Newt Gingrich as Speaker of the House until he resigned in disgrace when it was revealed that he admitted to had been involved in several adulterous affairs, (while attempting to crucify Democratic President Clinton for having done much less)!
• Bob Barr (R-GA) the principal sponsor of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, has been married three (or is it now four) times.  And at a party in 1992, Barr actually licked whipped cream off the breasts of two women, neither of them his current wife.  Now that's family values!
• Bill Thomas (R-CA) This 11-term Republican is chairman of the Ways and Means subcommittee on Health.  In June, (2003?) the Bakersfield Californian reported that Thomas, who is married, was having an affair with health care lobbyist Deborah Steelman, who steered huge campaign gifts to Thomas' war chest.  In an "open letter to friends and neighbors" (voters), Thomas did not deny the relationship, but said during his legislative career, "  . . .  Any personal failures of commitment or responsibility to my wife, family, or friends are just that, personal.  I have never traded a public responsibility for a personal one and I never will."
• Dan Burton (R-Indiana) was the Chairman of the House Government Reform & Oversight Committee.  He hated President Clinton so much that he publicly called him a "scumbag".  Following an expose, Burton was forced to admit that he fathered an out-of-wedlock child, a fact he denied for years.
          He has yet to admit, however, that during 38 years of marriage he has committed adultery with dozens of women, sexually assaulted others (including a lobbyist for Planned Parenthood), and kept mistresses on his campaign and public payrolls - to the tune of at least a half-million dollars.
• Charles Canady (R-Fl), Judiciary Committee member.  A leading opponent of abortion, Canady lied to his constituents about his adulterous affair with Sharon Becker, which caused her divorce from Florida businessman Robert Becker.
• Dick Armey (R-TX): as an economics professor before entering Congress, was accused of sexually harassing female students, according to the Dallas Observer. 
• John Peterson (R-PA): has been accused of sexual harassment and hostile-work-environment claims by six women.
• Helen Chenoweth (R-ID): one of first to condemn Clinton, admitted to having a six year extramarital affair with a married associate. The Spokane Spokesman-Review, but now she claims a pardon from a higher authority: "I've asked for God's forgiveness, and I've received it," she revealed. (She has since divorced and remarried - no doubt with the Lord's blessing!-)
• J.C. Watts (R-Oklahoma): has said "Character is simply doing right when no one is looking." Watts has tried to cover up his out-of-wedlock child.
• John Schmitz (R-CA), former extreme right-wing Republican fathered two children by a mistress � a former student named Carla Stuckle whom Schmitz taught when he was a professor at Santa Ana College.  One of these children was once admitted to an Orange County hospital with hair tied in a square knot around his penis so tightly that it was almost severed.
          Congressman Schmitz' daughter, Mary Kay LeTourneau, made national headlines when as a school teacher, she was arrested twice for having sex and producing two children with an underage student of hers (beginning when he was only 13 years old).
• Don Sherwood (R-PA) Had a five year adulterous affair which only ended when his mistress sued him for physical abuse (and attempted murder?) in 2004.
• Republican racist pedophile and United States Senator Strom Thurmond had sex with a 15-year old black girl, which produced a child.
• Donald "Buz" Lukens (R-OH) was found guilty of having sex with a minor and sentenced to one month in jail.
• Ken Calvert (R-CA) said in 1998,  "We can't forgive what occurred between the President and Lewinsky."  This is the same Christian Coalition ally, who was caught by police in 1993 receiving oral sex from a prostitute.  His ex-wife also sued him for failure to pay alimony.
• Randy Cunningham (R-CA): In their corruption case, which resulted in a prison sentence of several years, Federal prosecutors also investigated allegations that Congressman 'Duke' Cunningham was periodically supplied with prositutes.
• Sue Myrick, Congresswoman (R-NC), describes herself as a "devout Christian." Yet she's divorced and now married to the man with whom some say she has admitted committing adultery when she and he were married to their prior spouses.
• Jim Bunn, (R-Oregon) With his success due in great part to support from the Christian Coalition, Bunn won his congressional seat, then left his wife (and mother of his five children), married a staffer, and put his new wife on the state payroll with a salary of $ 97,500.
• Ed Schrock, two-term republican congressman, with a 92% approval rating from the Christian Coalition. Cosponsor of the Federal Marriage Amendment, consistently opposed gay rights. Married, with wife and kids. Withdrew his candidacy for a third term after tapes of him soliciting for gay sex were circulated.
• Rep. Vito Fossela. (R-NY) another "family values" Republican lost his seat when it was revealed that he had fathered a child with a woman not his wife.
• Chip Pickering (R-Miss.) 's estranged wife claims in a lawsuit he had an affair that ruined their marriage while Pickering was in Congress and living in a Christian building for lawmakers on C Street, near the U.S. Capitol. Pickering, 45, was elected to Congress in 1996, retired in January and is now a lobbyist in Washington for Cellular South, the company that is owned by his mistress's family.
• Dan Crane (R-IL) On July 20, 1983, the House voted to simultaneously censure two members of Congress for sexual misconduct, the first time it had ever done so.
  Crane was censured for having sexual relations with a 17 year-old female page.
  Gerry Studds(D-Mass.) was censured for having sexual relations with a 17 year-old male page.
          Conservative Republicans try to get some kind of political advantage by treating these two cases as morally equivalent, or they speak only of the Democrat, Studds.  But here's the rest of the story that they don't want people to know:
          Repub. Crane was a married man at the time and a father of six young children, while Dem. Studds had been single at the time. As homosexuals, Studds and the page were not allowed to marry, but their relationship was so consensual that they had been together for ten years from the time of the original liason until 1983, when the "scandal" broke.
          Neither of the two resigned from Congress; they both ran for re-election.
          The Repub. Crane was defeated. The Dem. Studds was re-elected for 5 more terms for a total of 20 years.
• Robert Bauman (R-MD) was campaigning for his fourth term as a Maryland Congressman in 1980.  A practicing Roman Catholic with a wife and child, he was one of the most vocal conservatives in a very conservative Congress.  He regularly rallied for old-fashioned values and attacked all supporters of abortion and homosexual rights.  His campaign looked rock-solid, before it changed overnight with a series of shocking revelations.  The public learned that Bauman had been charged with soliciting sex from a 16-year old boy he picked up at a gay bar, and that he had been the victim of an extortion scheme by a man who claimed to have had a sexual relationship with him.  This, combined with an alcohol problem (which did not seem to bother his fellow Congressmen before), doomed his political career.

• In the Fall of 2009, yet another conservative Christian Republican fell from grace. Assemblymen Michael Duvall of Yorba Linda, CA. made the mistake of bragging before a "hot mike" to a fellow legislator, about his sexual conquests with female lobbyists, at "the head table" of a legislative hearing room, . This champion opponent of gay equality was a married man with two children who had earned a 100% rating for good Christian family values organizations. Now, he's joined the cavalcade of disgraced hypocritical Republican former politiicians.
• Adelphia Communications Corp.: Donated large sums of money to some of the most conservative members of Congress. They are also the first cable company to offer hard-core adult movies to subscribers. [ http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/2/8/12123/29391 ]
• Mike Bowers Former State Attorney General of Georgia, prosecuted the famous "Bowers vs. Hardwick" case, based on Georgia anti-sodomy laws. Admitted to a 10-year adulterous affair.
• Andrew Buhr, Republican politician, former committeeman for Hadley Township Missouri, was charged with two counts of first degree sodomy with a 13-year old boy.
• Neil Bush, brother of George W. Bush, in a March 2003 divorce deposition, admitted repeatedly having sex with strange women who just showed up at his room while he was on an Asian business trip.
• Roy Cohn, continually condemned gays and gay rights. Was a closet gay who died of AIDS.
• Carey Lee Cramer, political consultant and producer of negative presidential campaign ads, convicted of molesting two young girls, one of whom lived with him, and was 8 yrs old; the other starred in an anti-Kerry commercial. political skullduggery.
• Lewis Libby, former Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff to Vice President Dick Cheney. In 1996 published a novel containing bizarre sexual content, including bestiality and pedophilia.Full Details
• Bill O'Reilly Right-wing conservative talk show host on Fox News, sued for sexual harrassment by his producer. The suit included graphic details, including tape-recordings. O'Reilly's wife was pregnant at the time. O'Reilly settled and paid millions of dollars rather than have the details become public.
• Judith Regan, Conservative Republican writer and pundit has had several well-publicized affairs and marriages and divorces, and tried to publish a book by O.J. Simpson that wasn't even up to FOX's low standards.

Suffolk,VA - "previous commitment will keep a Suffolk man from traveling to Washington, D.C., to accept a Republican of the Year award: He's serving a 26-year state prison sentence.

Spokesmen for the National Republican Congressional Committee, an arm of the Republican National Committee that raises millions of dollars to elect GOP candidates to the U.S. House of Representatives, acknowledged Tuesday that convicted sex offender Mark A. Grethen was invited to accept the award at its Business Advisory Council's luncheon in March. U.S Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va., chairs the NRCC. . . The award was rescinded after the NRCC learned that Grethen, 44, a former businessman, was convicted last year of six sex crimes involving children - two counts each of forcible sodomy, aggravated sexual battery and indecent liberties.  He is in the Deep Meadow Correctional Center, and his projected release date is Sept. 25, 2024."

Section II - at the State or Local Levels:

Oh, how "Pro Life" those Republicans are !

The man who sang the national anthem at the Republican conventions of 1980 & 1984 wasn't tapped for that prestigious opportunity simply because of his good looks and magnificent voice.  Lawrence E. King, Jr. was also a bank chairman who was chosen to lead the Grand Old Party's nationwide attempt to lure African American voters back to "the party of Lincoln".  King, however, lost his own ability to vote for his Republican friends when he was sent to prison for 15 years after getting caught stealing 40 or so million dollars from his depositors.
        He is pictured to the left both before and after his imprisonment.

According to propagandamatrix.com/141003conspiracyofsilence.html, however, he and a several of other people in very high places have yet to be prosecuted for much worse crimes, namely for procuring young boys and girls for sexual abuse by high class child-molesters.

People connected with this case who have died under suspicious circumstances :
1. Gary Caradori, hired by the Nebraska Senate to investigate the case.
2. The brother of one of the two most important witnesses, Alicia Owens.
3. The brother of the other most important witness, Paul Bonacci.
4. Shawn Boner, the brother of another witness.
   (After these untimely deaths, 76 young witnesses decided to recant their testimonies of being victims of child prostitution).

More G.O.P. "Paragons of Virtue":

• Republican activist Marty Glickman (a.k.a.  "Republican Marty"): used to demonstrate in front of the Capital in Tallahassee, FL, with large signs and banners, denouncing the "filthy morals" of Bill Clinton. Not long after Bill left office, Republican Marty was arrested for having extended, multiple sexual contact between himself and two girls, aged 13-14, delivering the drug LSD.  On the way to the Police Station, he keeled over dead in the Police car, after downing the contents of a bottle of drain cleaner.
• Republican California Assemblyman Steve Samuelian who ran as a"conservative's conservative," has been caught by police a second time (first time in1998) attempting to solicit sex from prostitutes in Fresno,California.  He is married.
• Republican activist Randal David Ankeney, arrested on suspicion of sexual assault on a child with force. He faces 6 charges related to getting a 13-year-old girl stoned on pot and then having sex with her. Also accused of sexually assaulting another girl.

Gay sex scandal rocks Spokane
By Chris McGann and Kathy Mulady
Seattle Post-Intelligencer reporters
Friday, May 6, 2005

Spokane Mayor Jim West, who championed an anti-gay agenda during his tenure as one of the most powerful Republicans in the Legislature, admitted to using the trappings of his current office to entice what he thought was a young adult man, but denied allegations that he molested two young boys more than 20 years ago.

West confirmed to The Spokesman-Review of Spokane that he offered gifts, favors and a City Hall internship during Internet chats with a man he believed was 18.  The online pen pal was actually a forensic computer expert working for the newspaper.  After the story hit the newsstands yesterday, West sent city staffers a remorseful e-mail. . .

In more than 20 years in the Legislature, West had initiated legislation to outlaw sexual contact between consenting teenagers; supported a bill that would have barred gays and lesbians from working for schools, day care centers and some state agencies; voted to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman; and, as Senate majority leader, allowed a bill that would ban discrimination against gays and lesbians to die in committee without a hearing.

As Spokane mayor, West threatened to veto a measure extending benefits to domestic partners of city employees."

[ from http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/223201_west06.html ]

20 years earlier Spokane was rocked with a huge scandal in which a police officer and boy scout leader was under investigation for molesting a number of boys, but committed suicide before he could be prosecuted. At that time the very close partner of that man, as both police officer and boy scout leader, Jim West, was not suspected of wrong-doing. West went on to become a very Conservative Republican legislator and then Mayor of Spokane.

"G.O.P.  Fundraiser Admits to Child Porn"
Gets Probation in Case in Baltimore
By Michael Laris
Washington Post Staff Writer

April 24, 2003
"Republican activist Richard A. Delgaudio, a longtime Northern Virginia-based fundraiser for conservative causes and personalities, was sentenced to two years' probation after pleading guilty to a child pornography charge.  Delgaudio was charged with taking sexually explicit photographs of a 16-year-old girl.  He paid the girl - a single mother and high school dropout - by the hour for photo shoots at the Deluxe Plaza Motel in Baltimore, according to court documents and Baltimore City Police Detective Randy Wynn, who investigated the case."
