Republican sex scandals, nail in the coffin for GOP

Another gay Republican pedophile allegation

Donald Fleischman (R) pedophile allegations

The chairman of the Republican Party in Brown County faces criminal charges for allegedly fondling a 16-year-old Ethan House and providing the boy with beer and marijuana last year. Donald Fleischman, 37, of Allouez, was charged with two counts of child enticement, two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a child and a charge of exposing himself to a child.

Republican Sex Scandals killing GOP softly

It’s one thing when Republicans are called out for their hypocrisy on sexuality, as we saw with the issue of Madam Palfrey’s whores and national security. Now we’re seeing interesting twists in the sex scandals that are puzzling given the public stance these public officials have on related issues.

Sexual deviance, homosexuality and pedophilia have become problems for the GOP, and it isn’t an isolated incident. Republican Congressman Mark Foley had issues with pedophilia and homosexuality, Senator David Vitter was a common patron of Madam Palfrey. And among others, there are gay toe-tapping public officials like Senator Larry Craig and Joey Difatta.

GOP history under George W. Bush is starting to read like a raunchy tabloid magazine! A line is crossed, however, when children become the victims and the public just accepts this as “another Republican sex scandal”. If anyone should come out and talk against victimizing children, it’s the GOP. It’s understandable why the GOP is silent on the issue, but at some point you put politics aside and stand up for justice.

If for no other reason, the GOP should speak out because these scandals are making it too easy for Democrats to exploit the issue with charges of gay sex scandals, hypocrisy on sexuality , and pedophilia.
