I can't believe no one has started a thread about this yet...what's with Democrats and affairs?
I guess they go hand-in-hand...
I'm sorry but this is a ridiculous statement that clearly shows a blind bias.
Here are some Republicans who have had affairs or sex scandals. Please read about them before you group all Democrats as cheaters:
Matthew Elliot - former aide to Mitt Romney was convicted of sexual exploitation of a child.
Vito Fosella - the only Republican member of Congress from New York City admitted to having a child out of wedlock...when he was pulled over for drunk driving no less.
Robert McKee - Republican delegate from Western Maryland, announced his resignation after authorities seized two computers, videotapes and printed materials from his Hagerstown home in a child pornography investigation. McKee also resigned his position as executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Washington County.
Robert "Bob" Allen - Florida state Republican was arrested in the afternoon at a Veteran's Memorial Park for solicitation of prostitution from an undercover male officer inside a restroom. According to the papers Bob "offerered to perform oral sex for $20". Bob Later claimed that his offer had something to do with his being afraid of black people.
John David Roy Atchison - Republican prosecutor, was arrested for soliciting sex from a 5-year old girl, then killed himself three weeks later. At the time of his arrest, Atchison was an "assistant U.S. attorney" appointed by President Bush's attorney general.
John Bryan - Republican city councilman, killed himself after police began investigating allegations that he had molested three girls, including two of his adopted daughters, ages 12 and 15.
Larry Craig - Republican Senator for Idaho, was arrested on July 11, 2007, by plainclothes police officer investigating complaints of lewd behavior in a Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport airport men's room. On August 8 in Hennepin County Municipal Court in Bloomington, Minnesota, Craig entered a guilty plea and paid a $500 fine. On September 1st, Craig subsequently announced his retirement from the Senate. Five days later, Craig changed his mind, renounced his retirement and began a battle to have his guilty plea overturned.
John R. Curtin - Monroe County state Republican committeeman, was convicted of molesting an underage teenage boy and sentenced to serve six to 18 months in prison.
Richard Curtis - Washington State Rep., resigned from the House after reports of his sexual encounter with a male escort became public.
Donald Fleischman - Brown County, WI, Republican Party Chairman, resigned his post after he was charged with two counts of child enticement, two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a child and a single charge of exposing himself to a child.
Larry Dale Floyd - Republican Constable in Denton County, Texas Precinct Two. Arrested for allegedly crossing state lines to have sex with an 8-year old child and was charged with 7 related offenses. Age 62 at time of arrest.
Ted Klaudt - former South Dakota State Rep., found guilty of four counts of second-degree rape of two teenage foster daughters.
Ronald C. Kline - Republican Judge in Orange County, CA, pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography on his home computer after six years of legal wrangling. In 2002, charged with child molestation and under house arrest on federal charges of possessing child pornography, political analysts still gave him a 50-50 chance of winning the March 5 primary for the Orange County Superior Court seat. He lost the election to a write-in candidate.
Jon Matthews - Republican talk show host in Houston, was indicted for indecency with a child, including exposing his genitals to a girl under the age of 17.
Glenn Murphy Jr. - chairman of the Clark County Republican Party and president of the Young Republican National Federation, resigned both posts, after the Clark County Sheriff’s Department began investigating Murphy for alleged criminal deviate conduct. A 22-year-old man claimed that Murphy performed an unwanted sex act on him while the man slept in a relative’s Jeffersonville home. During the investigation, a similar accusation from 1998 came to light.
Armando Tebano - Schenectady County Republican Chairman, pleaded guilty to fondling a 14-year-old.
David Vittner - junior Senator from Louisiana, became one of the few high-profile politicians to be implicated as a client of "D.C. Madam"
^Those are just the ones I found from 2007 and 2008. So before you make a comment like that about Democrats, please take a look at your own party.
