It is axiomatic that that people who staunchly oppose something or another are focused on that issue, and often come to espouse the thing against which they railed.

Televangelists that decry 'sin' are routinely involved with all kinds of sinful stuff. Of course, their flock then concludes that it was because they failed to give them enough money and seeks to rectify that oversight.

When Madonna made a big deal about Catholic stuff, I figured she would send her kids to parochial school (I think she did).

People who attack homosexuality are all too often stifling their own urges.The despicable person who shot up Pulse in Orlando was both a Muslim and a patron - he may have been hoping for virgin boys in Paradise.

Having lived in Chicago, Philadelphia and Houston, I am accustomed to irregularities at the polls ranging from busing in winos compensated for their votes to ballots apparently cast in alphabetical order. I am not sure how many elections were actually tipped by such shenanigans, but I suspect not many (Jack the Zipper Kennedy vs. Tricky Dick Nixon was an exception).

I do not worry much about Trump on most issues, since I think he simply says whatever he feels like saying because he generally gets away with it. He has discovered through long experience that sanity is overrated.

The fact that the subject of this thread is (R) is largely immaterial. For every loathsome scumbag on one side of the aisle, there is an equally despicable counterpart on the other - take your pick.

Politician lies! Dog bites man! News at 6.

I think the R does matter, when do you see a D frothing at the mouth about how democracy is on the verge of collapse with all the illegal voting?

Do you know the definition of espouse? The examples you give after using the word is not espousing.

I assume that a gov in office is immune to normal prosecution and answerable only to the state legislature through impeachment... but after one resigns can a DA then hold him accountable for criminal misconduct that happened while he was gov?

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Hi jakee,

I do not know the laws of Alabama. But, read this: http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/alabama-love-gov-resigns-avoid-impeachment-n744871

From the article: Meanwhile, Bentley was booked on two campaign-related charges — failure to file campaign disclosures and failure to disclose economic interests — and released after posting $600 bond. Neither charge is a felony, according to a local lawyer consulted by NBC News.

No. They are not immune.

Generally, they either resign or are impeached and removed before the criminal charges percolate through the system and a trial is actually held.

For example, 4 of the last 7 governors of Illinois went to prison.

If you search "Illinois Governors" the 'suggestions' will include "in jail" at the top.

One of the four (Walker) was convicted of stuff having nothing to do with his time as governor. He was just a regular crook.

Just goes to show how corrosive power is. Corrosive to ethics, ego, judgement and who is the modest minded president again?

More attempted illegal voter suppression for upcoming runoff in Georgia:

Kemp has a background of that:

But Georgia law requires that individuals who vote in a runoff election must be registered to vote in the initial election, Kemp spokeswoman Candice Broce said in an email. She also noted that the U.S. Constitution allows states to set additional qualifications for voters in federal elections that don’t exceed the qualifications for state elections.

I'm going to say it- Rape isn't an absolute bad, because the rapist I think probably likes it a lot. I think he'd say it's quite good, really.

Quote

Due to statutory rape laws, perfectly viable women under 18 are out of bounds. Fine. Evolutionarily, that was never a problem, but today we have to deal with it. So 18 is the bottom end. And for women, 30 is wall. So women have a window of 12 years.

Quote

I find women's personalities in general to be lackluster and boring, serving little purpose in my day to day life.

Quote

That is precisely my point. Biologically having kids that early was pretty normal. In fact, a lot of cultures on our planet still do this. It's only our culture and a handful of other recent cultures that started protecting the young adults- and get this, it used to be only women protected with age of consent laws...In my opinion, since these are no longer factors due to birth control, it should no longer be a consideration.

Some family values for you.
