I am NOT a Democrat; Republican defenders, feel free to post your links to Democrat (or Green, Libertarian, Indy politician) child molesters here as well. I don't know if there's a disproportionate number of child molesters in Republican politics, compared with the Democrats and general population; if you know of studies, post them here. Documented child molesters should not be holding public office, and public servants should not even have the appearance of corruption; molesting kids is about as heinous as it gets http://www.armchairsubversive.org/

Perhaps the most egregious example: “Republican Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld authorized the rape of children in Iraqi prisons in order to humiliate their parents into providing information about the anti-American insurgency. See excerpt of one prisoner's report here and his full report here.”

If you have the stomach for it, and need fuel for your outrage, also see the film:

“Conspiracy of Silence, a documentary listed for viewing in TV Guide Magazine was to be aired on the Discovery Channel, on May 3 1994. This documentary exposed a network of religious leaders and Washington politicians who flew children to Washington D.C. for sex orgies." Related: the book The Franklin Coverup by John DeCamp, attorney and former Nebraska State Senator.
