It makes it way too easy for someone to document their crimes.
An internet agitprop artist publishing the website “Republican Offenders dot com” has produced a list of 272 Republicans charged with criminal activity, 60 of which are pedophiles. Each name is linked to a group heading of the type of crime alleged or convicted. (Among the categories are rape, bribery and “assorted felonies”.)
The list really has to be seen to be appreciated.
Howard Dean his own self could not have thought the culture of corruption ran this wide and deep. h/t Contextual Criticism.

No Trackbacks To “GOP Wishes The Internet Had Never Been Invented“
Republican Offenders.com while useful is kind of silly since among other thinks it includes people who never held elected office and further more a person could just as easily make a list of Democrats.
amazingly all of bushco in the whitehouse are missing.
this is a list of alledged crimes.
Pedophilia Republicanism and mental illness seems to go together.

No a lot of those on the list are convicted Republicans.
CD @ 1:
So where is the Republican sponsored ‘list’ of Democrat crooks ?
My guess is that it would be a tenth size of the R one.
Bravo!
that’s why the GOP pressured social websites to scrub their message boards post November 2006…smells of the rat Karl Rove…again burying the bodies so the criminals get away with the crimes.
Well, it’s time to hold these traitorous war criminals accountable for crimes against humanity and for failing to uphold and defend the United States Constitution from Enemies Foreign AND Domestic.
May they all be brought to justice in front of The Haugue.

A few are not office holders, some are activists or funders etc, but the majority ARE elected or appointed officials.
I knew! ANYONE concerned with what their neighbor is doing is up to no good.
The republican party is an Orwellian nightmare of dichotomies between stated goals and behavior. I was going to list them but got nauseous.
Which comes first, becoming a Republican,or becoming a pedophile?
In the current light of our nations situation perhaps the more profound question should be:
Which is the greatest offense, being a repug or being a pedophile?
Depends on the victim I suppose.
Quite an eye opener.
I was actually looking to see if there was a Democratic party list to make a comparison, but it appears nobody has yet done one. For me it’s the criminal, not the party affiliation
not sure how legit this site is it lists republicans involved in underage sex.
GOP=GROUP OF PEDOPHILES
can you say, “BOOKMARKED”?

Since when is something “useful” , also “silly” ?
Except Silly String , of course……….
I just couldn’t help myself, I had too do it. I just had too.
I dropped of this List over at polipundit.
They’re getting used to the idea of McCain, but they’ve still got some hold outs saying they won’t vote for him.
I’ll tell you what , with out the internet we are 100% SOL . People had better pull their heads out and not ask for , but demand NET NEUTRALITY from internet providers . The TELCOMS are already illegally spying on us for King George , what do you think will happen if they can pick and chose who and what we have access to on the Web ?
CD @ 1:
If it were so easy why haven’t the Swiftboaters done it long ago?
The Republicans are just unclear on the concept when it comes to that old saying; “Politics makes for strange bedfellows”.

Its a mindset, persons who are suffering from some level of mental illness, sociopaths,
Ted Bundy (R) types with ends justifies the means, instant gratification or plain out and out psychopathic personalities.
Some get raised by similar parents who indoctrinate their spawn to expect everybody else to be their serfs and incomes.
All the recent and not so recent financial types scamming the 401Ks retirees, same mindset.
No Mark Foley?
Okay, Id feel a little better if there was a sister site regarding Convicted Democrats….
Id also feel better if you didnt, lets face it, ‘pad your stats’ a bit…the BTK killer? just because he was a registered republican? ted bundy, because he worked for a campaign? hope you had a good workout, cause youre doing a lot of stretching with those two….
seriously…do you guys think that list isnt long enough without them? its not like its not going to get longer any time soon…
enigma4ever hussein…. @ 19:
Just copy this-

As TERRIBLE as the GOP is, I don’t this list will be complete without also including democrats and independents who have also committed crimes.
This list makes it seem like crime is specific to GOP only. If we are going to fix the problems of government, we have to at least NAME all of the problems, instead of sticking one’s head in the sand and hope that democrats will clean house. Why hasn’t the elections of 2004 been proof of this?
David Hill @ 22:
doesnt that show that Ted shared the Republican dream and was vetted and approved by whatever Republican regional party he worked for !
thats a double indictment methinks.
Drew @ 24:
Ok go make up a list of Democrat criminals,
just remember that something about the Republican party is attractive to the pedophile type.
thats why there are so many R types interested in children, do they use their party buddies to protect them and deflect suspicion,
or is it something worse and more akin to a shared hobby amongst certain types in the GOP.
David Hill @ 22:
Yeah, I was looking the site over, and I tend to agree. The stats are rather padded. Needlessly.
The serial killers is a bit much. DUIs, prostitution and drugs crimes are silly, if indeed, the idea is to document a culture of corruption (unless the culprits used their influences to wriggle out of any punishment or crusaded against their particular crime). And some of the listings are “alleged” or just “indicted.”
Drew @ 24:
Criminals like to register in the “law and order” party because it hides who they really are (for a while). I dare you to make a list half that size and going back 50 years. Come back in a week and show us what you got! :-)
fastfeat @ 21:
not arrested, no conviction just rumour and some IMs,
a quick entry into rehab through the front door then out the back door to the nightclubs and a holiday,
he was spotted (and photographed) while supposedly in rehab clubbing and jetting off to warmer climes.
his Congressional PCs were kept from the Florida LE, and the hard drives most likely were taken out the back into a carpark and melted down with thermite.
i hate republicans as much as the next free thinker but c’mon…are you tellin me you actually think that somehow if you’re a democrat you don’t commit crimes? Please. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. They’re all criminals. I just happen to agree more often with the policies that Democratic criminals, er politicians, espouse.
On the other hand, seems to me more Repubs campaign on morality and honesty and decency etc. than do Dems. And so by that measure, yeah, I’ll grant you that Repubs are the bigger hypocrites. But that’s splitting hairs a bit don’t you think?
Can’t wait until georgie bush (both of them), dick cheney, don rumsfeld, condi rice, etc., etc., etc., are added to this list.
If all of the repukes who should be on this list were, trying to load this site would likely crash my computer - LOL.

And the repressed and ashamed practitioners of various forms of sex find in the Republican Party a disturbing means of getting off: Crusading against their own closeted behavior.
JFK liked the ladies, Bill liked Monica and other ladies. FDR liked good oil in his wheel chair bearings and won WW2.
whoopie do, how many wars and conflicts have the Republicans lost in the 20th and 21st Centuries ?
Korea, Vietnam, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Iraq.

“Ok go make up a list of Democrat criminals”
No because then I would be doing the same thing as republicanoffenders.com!
“just remember that something about the Republican party is attractive to the pedophile type.”
I guess…but for me I don’t generalize like that, because it eradicates the individual. For example, I do not look at the race, gender, or culture stats for the criminals in this country, and conclude anything definite on those demographics. I don’t think you would too. It’s the same thing about which wing you call yourself. To make conclusions based on those groups is an absolutely vicious form of collectivism, so it’s either do it all of the time or do it none of the time. You cannot do it some of the time and be logically consistent.
“thats why there are so many R types interested in children, do they use their party buddies to protect them and deflect suspicion”
By making this statement, you are actually sanctioning those criminals who call themselves democrats. I do not care about what the “majority” does. I am actually not surprised by your way of thinking, because to you majorities are truth. It’s one side effect, among many, in a democracy (we were never supposed to be a democracy where 51% rule the remaining 49%, but rather a Constitutional Republic where 99% cannot violate the rights of the remaining 1%)
“or is it something worse and more akin to a shared hobby amongst certain types in the GOP.”
Sounds to me like some kind of neo-McCarthyism. Focus on the group and start attacking individuals.
Paul’s Bunions @ 28:
“Criminals like to register in the “law and order” party because it hides who they really are (for a while).”
I definitely agree with you there. How often do you see a self-righteous crime fighter politician who ends up committing the very same crimes he was tasked to fight? HYPOCRISY.
“I dare you to make a list half that size and going back 50 years. Come back in a week and show us what you got!”
I’m not here to choose “sides”, pick a fight with the other side, and hope after the “battle” that I end up on the “winning side”, and then further use that “victory” to somehow make a positive statement of myself and my self worth as a human being.
No thank you. You can take that partisan shite and go play with some other stooge. I am NOT on any side, other than your freedom and my freedom from any and all oppression.
Paul’s Bunions @ 17:
Chances are because they didn’t want their Black Sheep listed.
It was a M.A.D. situation.
Drew @ 34:
I’m pretty sure I understand what you’re saying, and largely agree with your sentiments. But I’m not sure your entirely correct.
Consider that, in general, males are bigger and stronger than females. Thus, if you have to very quickly choose a fleet of people to carry something very heavy, very far, it would be rational to err on the side of choosing males. Statistically, you’re chances of getting people able to carry the heavy object would be better than if you erred on the side of choosing females.
That doesn’t “eradicate the individual.” It just recognizes a generalization. Of course, if you had an infinite amount of time to choose your fleet, it would only make sense to dispense with the generalization, and interview and test all individuals willing to participate. After all, some women are indeed bigger and stronger than some men.
Generalizations are not per se improper. It just depends on how they’re used. If indeed it is scientifically proven that Republicans commit far more crimes than Democrats (and that certainly hasn’t been proven with this silly site), it might be worth examining why. Doing so, however, would not justify denying charged Republicans due process or dispensing with their presumption of innocence at their respective trials.
Not sure I follow that.
I most definitely concur with that!!
Why isn’t McCain on the list? Keating 5, FEC violations, failing to report that he had died of old age in 2004.
where’s that ‘who’s on their second, third, fourth, etc. marriage’ list…
Ok lets be generous and say that Republicans are generally good people, just that the worst dominates and rise to the top.
We still have the situation of Republican hypocrisy of the very visible Congress types and the bible thumping types who hate everybody non standard.
this list means nothing without another list, democrats perhaps, to compare it to. i despise republicans but you have to have an argument which requires more than 1 side.
Scary, really scary. Really shows the double standards the GORP has on individual responsibility - do as I say not as I do.
Wonder how long before this type of thing spreads to other political entities at federal, state and local levels?
Criminals have taken over the Republican Party a long time ago. Since before the Supreme Court stop the vote counting in Florida (an illegal act) and gave Bush the presidency. And they have been breaking the law consistently since. Putting and end to Habeas Corpus (it goes back to the Magna Carta). Lying to Congress to start an illegal war, not appearing to answer questions when subpoenaed by congress, using depleted uranium weapons; caging voters and doing anything they can to win elections are just a smidgeon of the things I can name.
ferrofluid @ 29:
Thanks. I know everyone’s “innocent ’till proven guilty”, but if I quit my job and check into rehab (or were given that opportunity) I’d have been assumed guilty. Different standards when you’re in public office, I suppose…
Their god (money) will protect them !
