a list of ALL the GOP sexual predators followed by those few (comparatively) Dems.

GOPerverts Vs. The Dems

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK here's how I compiled this list:

Went over to one of those many "I Hate Liberals" sites and copied their stuff about Democratic pedo's and other sex offenders.

That was all i was looking for. Deleted from the list were types like President Bill Clinton, Jesse Jackson and Ted Kennedy.

This is because "Slick Willie's" affair with Monica, Da Mighty Rev's illegitimate child out of wedlock and Teddy's underwater adventures did NOT involve known ILLEGAL SEXUAL misconduct.

On the GOP side I pulled California Governor Arnold Schwartzeneggar from the list merely because his alleged sexual encounter witha 16 y/o girl was never indicted.

All I was looking for was apparent CRIMINAL sexual abuse ie SEX PREDATORS.

1. Well, glad supper time is well over.

This is a good list to have on hand as we know that the 'well they do it too' excuse will be flung about this month. This is good ammunition.

[Jackpine Radical]

2. There s also a good list in the Research forum on DU.

I haven't checked this list against it.

3. I looked at that earlier this week

and I don't think they had the democrats listed.

4. Great list

I printed it because I have a couple R in the family. They are smart and really good people, but are overcome with emotion because of the abortion issue. Not to get off the subject, but I really like my post number.
