This list does not include Republican perverts like former Senator Larry "Wide Guy Craig, Senator David "diaper-wearing whoremonger" Vitter, or defrocked but now claiming to be cured preacher and lover of male prostitutes, Ted Haggard. The garden variety Republican perverts can be addressed in future installments. This rogue's gallery only deals with the serious problem of pedophiles in the Republican Party. ● Republican prosecutor John David Roy Atchison was arrested for soliciting sex from a five year old girl. At the time of his arrest, Atchison was an Assistant U.S. Attorney appointed by Republican Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. ● Republican city councilman John Bryan killed himself after police began investigating allegations that he had molested three girls, including two of his adopted daughters, ages twelve and fifteen. ● Republican Mayor and former presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani hired Monsignor Alan Placa, a close friend, after the Catholic priest was removed when charges surfaced that he'd been molesting young boys at his parish residence. Monsignor Placa also had a role in covering up the sexual crimes of other priests, according to a grand jury. The grand jury also stated that Monsignor Placa had "employed deception and intimidation to keep the allegations from the light of day." He remains on the staff and payroll of Giuliani's consulting firm. ● Republican legislator Ted Klaudt was charged with raping girls under the age of sixteen. ● Republican city councilman Joseph Montelone, Jr. was found guilty of fondling underage girls. ● Republican congressional aide Jeffrey Nielsen was arrested for having sex with a fourteen year old boy. ● Republican County Commissioner Patrick Lee McGuire surrendered to police after allegedly molesting girls between the ages of eight and thirteen. ● Republican prosecutor Larry Corrigan was arrested for soliciting sex from thirteen year old girls. ● Republican Mayor Jeffrey Kyle Randall was sentenced to 275 days in jail for molesting two boys, ages ten and twelve, during a six year period. ● Republican County Board Candidate Brent Schepp was charged with molesting a fourteen year old girl, then killed himself three days later. ● Republican Congressman Mark Foley abruptly resigned from Congress after sexually explicit e-mails surfaced showing him targeting a sixteen year old boy. ● Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives Dennis Hastert, who led the Republican cover-up of Mark Foley's predatory conduct, announced his resignation from Congress and did not complete his current term. ● Republican executive Randall Casseday of the conservative Washington Times newspaper pleaded guilty to soliciting sex from a thirteen year old girl on the internet. ● Republican chairman of the Oregon Christian Coalition, Lou Beres, confessed to molesting a thirteen year old girl. ● Republican County Constable, Larry Dale Floyd, pleaded guilty to charges of soliciting sex from an eight year old girl.

It's because they are too repressed to allow themselves the relief pornography would give them. Look at the clergy. They do not have the natural outlet for their lust that pornography would provide. Thus they have to fiddle with their charges.
I think this puritanical culture that many (like Santorum) advocate for or promote, tends to ignore that we are "human". It doesn't work well, because the ideals are far too 'rigid'; people will never truly meet their own standards, and will likely become discouraged by their unrealistic personal/moral goals. Self-control is a good thing... but asking/compelling someone to behave as if they are other than fully human, can end up being more damaging or dangerous than some might ever imagine.
Well...have you SEEN some of these people? If looked like Mark Foley I wouldn't have many options either..
The only pedophiles I've ever heard of were liberals. Granted I don't study these topics in-depth, leave that to a liberal....
I'm neither liberal or conservative but face the facts..pedophiles mainly tend to be republican, conservative, religious fanatics..
Facts? You just made a claim, you didn't provide any facts. As a liberal, I just get tired of people making stupid, unsupported claims. Pedophiles are vile predators of children. Trying to use this crime as an excuse to attack a political party that you disagree with is pretty disgusting.
Republicans who are pedophiles are so because they can't find real love, and because they're so distrusting of people, due to them getting their azzes beat every day throughout school. So...now crushing poor people's lives gives them a sense of vindication.
how am I attacking any political party?? my first sentence says I'm neutral and I couldn't agree with you more..as a father of 3 children I would of killed any mofo if they molested my children..they're all in their 30s now but my point is don't talk to me about disgusting and I think you owe me an apology because I don't take this lightly..I think you're disgusting for trying to defend republican pedophiles.. just look at Geco's list and try and defend that..
Makes sense, actually. And I'm not speaking against conservatives, republicans or religious people at all when I say this. They might consider it more of a compliment. But I suspect the reason you see many pedophiles who would identify as republican is because it's a defense mechanism - something they do to project a different, and more acceptable identity to themselves and others. Psychologists call it Reaction Formation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_formation Often when someone strongly opposes their own desires, the project a very different identity to reduce their own anxiety about it. This conservative identity shields them from discovery by others, and even by themselves. It's a defense mechanism, and is how they cope. That's just my speculation anyway. I wouldn't call it an inditement against conservatives, religious folk or Republicans in the slightest.
The list never makes an attempt to compare to the Democratic counterparts who have been identified as pedophiles, and to that extent it doesn't really prove anything at all about the parties. Even if it had, it doesn't consider the issue of causation. i.e. look at my post above about Reaction Formation, and how that would likely cause pedophiles to identify as republican.
my apologies..it's been a long day and I'm a bit on edge and on the defensive side..sort of went on a rant and I should know better.. a pedophile could be anyone no matter race, creed or political belief.. I was wrong and the first to admit it.. sorry..
I don't defend any list. It is no more relevant than asking why so many pedophiles have brown hair. I am an equal opportunity opponent of pedophiles- and I will state one more time- trying to use the issue of pedophilia for political purposes- as in this case where the OP attempts to corelate Republicans with pedophilia- is a disgusting attempt to politicize the very real tragedy of pedophilia. All pedophiles are disgusting to me- and their politics is irrelevant- I don't care whether they lean left or lean right, I don't care what god they do or do not profess to believe- or anything else- unless you can show me a direct causality between what you are trying to distinguish and pedophilia it is irrelevant and just using the tragedy of pedophilia for political purposes.
Q: Why Are So Many Republicans Pedophiles? A: I'm not sure ... but it's obvious they have a deep fear of Women and Women Rights that go way back! Maybe it's because they were not breast fed as children (.) (.)
Okay, look -- republicans deserve to be picked on at least as much as anybody else in politics, but I think the OP is taking an unworthy shot. Republicans may be crazy. A little dim in some areas. Actively harmful to human life -- and for that matter, all other forms of life. They may even promote country music. But c'mon. There's no need to sink to this level. Honestly, it's the kind of thing I expect from republicans.
One problem is that conservatives and Republicans don't tend to gather around pedophiles and protect them. Does the name Roman Polanski ring a bell. Remember Whoopie Goldber's explanation of rape/rape versus rape. They don't have Woody Allen lobbying for them. Does the name Frank Lobmard ring a bel. He adopted an infant, raped him repeatedly, and offered him for the enjoyment of others on the internet and his liberal community gathered around to protect him. So the question isn't why are Republicans as flawed in various ways as oterhs but why do liberals insist on defending their flawed humans. I suppose you've already forgotten President Clinton, too. I will give him credit. He assaulted adults. I presume those names you listed we all Republicans but even more telling, they're all politicians.
