I'm sure thats true for some, but there is no shortage of self-righteous Dems. Painting any group with one brush is a bad decision.

What.. so every time a member of the GOP screws up your reponse is that the Dems do it to.....like Wolf said it's the GOP who proclaim to be so self rigtheous.

The Republicans have long tried to paint themselves as the conservative voice of morality for this country. This is what makes all of these mishaps so noteworthy.

People are people and both Dems and Repubs are full of crap. But don't be the posterboy against child pornography, abortion, gay marriage and other weighty topics, claiming they weight down on the morality of this country, and then be exposed as a criminal or "social misfit" in your own right.

Did this thread call Republicans morally corrupt and label all Republicans as a certain way?

That would make a nice Campaign slogan....I like it.

If you'll notice, I was referring to the starter of the thread.

I feel similarly about Dem and Repub politicians who speak out against illegal immigration but have illegal immigrants doing their landscaping or working their building contracts.

Hypocrisy knows no political party. But being from certain political traditions and platforms certainly makes your hypocrisy more interesting.

I noticed. Now answer my question.

"OPne of the truest signs of being a staunch, conservative Republican is your public abhorrance of anything sexual while privately participating in the same or more debasede sexual deviance."

Sounds a little broad, doesnt it?

No Doggy is talking about staunch conservative you also have moderate Conservatives like Colin Powel, John McCain and others.

Only if you insist but do you really consider yourself to be a staunch, conservative Republican? Perhaps that blind political loyalty and moral outspoken(ness?) is what breeds the observation the OP had.

Exactly.

"Everything's immoral...unless I do it in the privacy of my own home...it's okay if a successful businessman such as myself does it, but we can't let just ANYONE do it because this country will go to Hell...."

Staunch conservative is far from blindy partisan...most staunch conservatives I know are disenchanted with the republican party.

Because? :)

Because its not that conservative. However, there is a big difference between being unimpressed with the current state of GOP politics, and voting or leaning democratic. I'll take a less conservative GOP over the weak stance of the DNC anyday.
