Republican Marty Glickman of Florida, one of those rabid dog conservative talk radio commentators who rail on about the lack of morals, was arrested in 2001 and charged with giving drugs like LSD and money to underaged girls in exchange for sex. Kevin T. Coan, a Republican who formerly directed the St. Louis Election Board, was charged in 2001 with trying to solicit sex from a 14-year-old girl in cyberspace.

None of this is new. The late Republican Senator Strom Thurmond had sex with an underaged black girl in the 1920s, a union that resulted in a child. Republican activist Lawrence E. King, Jr. and Republican lobbyist Craig J. Spence organized child sex parties at the White House during the 1980s.

Other prominent Republican pedophiles include former Congressmen Donald "Buz" Lukens and Robert Bauman, and Christian Coalition leader Beverly Russell.

The list of conservative sexual predators goes on and on and on at http://www.armchairsubversive.com/

So while conservatives point at Democratic sex scandals, I say the evidence shows that there are more Republican pedophiles than Democratic ones. I find Republican sexual scandals more appalling than Democratic transgressions after all the Republicans did to expose Clinton's private life - even spending upwards of $100 million of tax money - in the 1990s.

Ultimately, the Clinton affair was none of our business it wasn't a crime since Monica was of legal age. All that crap about obstruction of justice was bullshit since it was a civil lawsuit filed by a conservative legal outfit that forced the issue. Clinton should have never been forced to answer such a lawsuit until he was out of the White House, if then. Since the Republicans forced this morality issue on us, Democrats should turn the tables whenever they get the chance.

Especially when the issue is protecting children from Republican sexual predators.
