Before creating this webpage, which I have dedicated specifically to matters of "immorality", which so many Americans take to mean sexual immorality, I created two webpages that deal with political corruption as well as personal immorality. See the links to those pages in the box above. More recent examples:
Things were bad enough in "the good old days", when the GOP at least pretended to value morality. But ever since that party was taken over by Donald J. Trump, he has had charlatan evangelical leaders flock to the White House to apparently witness his version of "baptism", flushing the good book down his golden toilet. And Republican women are now as shameless as the men! ![]()
In the past, making the case for the immorality of the Republican Party required the presentation of lots of evidence, like the numerous examples of immorality that I assembled over the years and catalogued below. |
Conservatives promote the idea that Democrats should hang their heads in shame over people like Larry Flint, a publisher of pornography, just because such people may have revealed that they vote Democratic. But political parties can't control or be responsible for those who vote for their party's candidates. What parties can control is whom they endorse to run under their banner for any public office. And the Democratic Party doesn't promote people like Larry Flint for public office. Contrast that to the kinds of people the Republican Party regularly selects for positions of leadership in their party, the kind highlighted on this page.
In Connecticut, the holier-than-thou Republican party chose the mayor of one of the state's largest cities as its candidate for the U.S. Senate. If Joe Lieberman had caved in to Republican demands in the year 2000 that he not run for relection to the senate at the same time that he was running for the vice presidency,
then our nation would have had a Republican Senator from Conn., named Philip Giordano at least until he was sentenced to serve his 37 year sentence in Federal prison as a result of the FBI investigating him for financial shenanigans and discovering in the process that this crooked, disgusting Republican office holder had been repeatedly molesting two pre-teen little girls related to his prostitute-mistress (in the mayor's office among other places).
There was more on this disgusting Republican office holder at :

However, in 1966, while working as the tribal attorney for the Rosebud Sioux, Janklow–aged 27–was accused of raping his children's 15-year-old babysitter, Jancita Eagle Deer. Adult sexual offenses being more grave than this earlier recorded exploit, Janklow used his capacity as head of reservation legal services to stave off the (illegible) of formal, federal charges. He then resigned his position and left tribal jurisdiction." . . .
(Janklow may be the only known sex offender and accused rapist in living memory to have occupied a U. S. governor's office).
"Had it not been for the intervention of the FBI in the form of its undercover agent, Douglass Durham, it seems possible that Janklow would have gone to the state prison rather than to the state capitol. Conversely, had it not been for the unabashed cooperation of Attorney General William Janklow, the reign of terror perpetrated by the FBI against the American Indian Movement would have been much more difficult to pull off."
[ from http://www.dlncoalition.org/dln_issues/strangecaseofjan ...A decade before calling himself "a consistent supporter of pro-life values," Tennessee physician and Republican U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais supported his ex-wife's decision to get two abortions before their marriage, according to the congressman's sworn testimony during his divorce trial. Obtained by the Chattanooga Times Free Press, the couple's 2001 trial transcript also confirms DesJarlais had sexual relationships with at least two patients, three coworkers and a drug representative while he was chief of staff at Grandview Medical Center in Jasper, Tenn. During one affair with a female patient, DesJarlais prescribed her drugs, gave her an $875 watch and bought her a plane ticket to Las Vegas, records show.

Suffolk,VA – "previous commitment will keep a Suffolk man from traveling to Washington, D.C., to accept a Republican of the Year award: He's serving a 26-year state prison sentence.
Spokesmen for the National Republican Congressional Committee, an arm of the Republican National Committee that raises millions of dollars to elect GOP candidates to the U.S. House of Representatives, acknowledged Tuesday that convicted sex offender Mark A. Grethen was invited to accept the award at its Business Advisory Council's luncheon in March. U.S Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va., chairs the NRCC. . . The award was rescinded after the NRCC learned that Grethen, 44, a former businessman, was convicted last year of six sex crimes involving children – two counts each of forcible sodomy, aggravated sexual battery and indecent liberties. He is in the Deep Meadow Correctional Center, and his projected release date is Sept. 25, 2024."

Lawrence E. King, Jr. was also a bank chairman who was chosen to lead the Grand Old Party's nationwide attempt to lure African American voters back to "the party of Lincoln". King, however, lost his own ability to vote for his Republican friends when he was sent to prison for 15 years after getting caught stealing 40 or so million dollars from his depositors.
He is pictured to the left both before and after his imprisonment.
According to propagandamatrix.com/141003conspiracyofsilence.html, however, he and a several of other people in very high places have yet to be prosecuted for much worse crimes, namely for procuring young boys and girls for sexual abuse by high class child-molesters.

Spokane Mayor Jim West, who championed an anti-gay agenda during his tenure as one of the most powerful Republicans in the Legislature, admitted to using the trappings of his current office to entice what he thought was a young adult man, but denied allegations that he molested two young boys more than 20 years ago.
West confirmed to The Spokesman-Review of Spokane that he offered gifts, favors and a City Hall internship during Internet chats with a man he believed was 18. The online pen pal was actually a forensic computer expert working for the newspaper. After the story hit the newsstands yesterday, West sent city staffers a remorseful e-mail. . .
In more than 20 years in the Legislature, West had initiated legislation to outlaw sexual contact between consenting teenagers; supported a bill that would have barred gays and lesbians from working for schools, day care centers and some state agencies; voted to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman; and, as Senate majority leader, allowed a bill that would ban discrimination against gays and lesbians to die in committee without a hearing.
As Spokane mayor, West threatened to veto a measure extending benefits to domestic partners of city employees."
20 years earlier Spokane was rocked with a huge scandal in which a police officer and boy scout leader was under investigation for molesting a number of boys, but committed suicide before he could be prosecuted. At that time the very close partner of that man, as both police officer and boy scout leader, Jim West, was not suspected of wrong-doing. West went on to become a very Conservative Republican legislator and then Mayor of Spokane.

"Republican activist
Richard
A. Delgaudio, a longtime Northern Virginia–based fundraiser for conservative causes and personalities, was sentenced to two years' probation after pleading guilty to a child pornography charge.
Delgaudio was charged with taking sexually explicit photographs of a 16-year-old girl. He paid the girl – a single mother and high school dropout – by the hour for photo shoots at the Deluxe Plaza Motel in Baltimore, according to court documents and Baltimore City Police Detective Randy Wynn, who investigated the case."
