Has ANY Republican faced consequences for their actions recently?
Ann Coulter is charged with a felony and gets away with it
An Arizona Republican rapes young boys with a broomstick and walks
Dick Cheney SHOOTS A GUY IN THE FACE and the VICTIM is the one who apologizes
Bush does every despicable act EXCEPT recieve a hummer from an intern while in office and is praised and worshipped every day

We all know if a Dem even considered doing any of these things, s/he would be drawn, quartered, lynched, burned at the stake, and/or tarred and feathered.

In fact, I think that McVeigh's execution is the only time any Republican has been held responsible for their actions in the past 6 years

6. Family values = gays are sinners
But molesting children, burning crosses, protesting funerals, killing brown people, shooting a guy in the face, and lying about everything is ok
