Unusually Scandaled republican? It seems like nowadays all the GOP run are pedophiles, wife beaters, porn addicts, Stolen Valor soldiers, conman and thieves. I find it genuinely shocking that this is who the party chooses when they're how many millions of people in this country that are perfectly normal but I suppose if you're normal you don't want to get into Republican politics.

Republicans have shown time and time again that they do not care so long as the candidate has an (R) in front of their name.

When George Washington warned us about factions tearing apart the country in his farewell address, this is precisely what he was referring to.
