Poll question: Republican Sex Offenders
I saw a post the other day which listed a long list of Republican Sex Offenders.

"* Republican anti-abortion activist Howard Scott Heldreth is a convicted child rapist in Florida.

* Republican County Commissioner David Swartz pleaded guilty to molesting two girls under the age of 11 and was sentenced to 8 years in prison.

* Republican judge Mark Pazuhanich pleaded no contest to fondling a 10-year old girl and was sentenced to 10 years probation.

* Republican anti-abortion activist Nicholas Morency pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography on his computer and offering a bounty to anybody who murders an abortion doctor.

* Republican legislator Edison Misla Aldarondo was sentenced to 10 years in prison for raping his daughter between the ages of 9 and 17.

* Republican Mayor Philip Giordano is serving a 37-year sentence in federal prison for sexually abusing 8- and 10-year old girls."

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/4/4/222122/9072


This list was really outdated, as it was from May, 2006, and doesn't include Mark Foley or this last one, from Idaho(?).

Anyways, I own the domain name www.republicansexoffenders.com . What should I do with it?

Thank you
I think I can handle the HTML... it's the research I'd be needing more help with, but I'll keep your offer in mind if I run into something I can't handle..

PEACE!

5. Latest one is
a former legislator from Pierre, SD. Do the google to find him. I sullied my eyes looking at his indictment the other day and don't want to go back. Ewwww.

18. I read the indictment too... it was sickening...
Guys like this make me wonder why people oppose the death penalty. He's clearly not fit for society....

19. That was my thought too... build it, and they will come...
I've just gotten into domain name selling seriously in the last month or so. I've been registering names for a little over 2 years now. I normally allow myself about $20 a week, which is good for 2 domains, but I've had some credits built up that I was saving for a special purpose.. these names seemed to fit the bill.

8. Other.
You should either donate it to me, or redirect all traffic from it to the database I've been working on for years, which is far more detailed, snarky, and fun than all those lists floating around (and from which many of those lists are compiled in the first place), and which I update when I'm not wasting time trying to eke out a living (and which does include Foley, who's from Florida, btw):

Conservative Babylon

Well, you did ask. :)

21. I like your layout. That's what I had in mind to do with this one.
I wanted a picture, location and crime they were charged and convicted on. Very nice job. I'll give your offer some serious consideration. I really like how you tied Beverly Russell and his step-daughter, whom he molested, Susan Smith together, as well as John Schmitz and his daughter, Mary Kay LeTourneau. Republican famly values at work!

45. Thank you for the kudos, GitM...
You're very kind.

Yes, do give it some serious consideration -- bearing in mind I don't ever take without giving back. I'm a Web developer cum graphics designer by trade, so perhaps I have something to offer you in exchange. Think about it. :)

P.S. My thing is tying stuff together. Before I die, I want to create the ultimate flowchart of how every political bad guy of the past half-century traces back to a single source. Call me crazy (many do), but I think it can be done.

46. You're quite welcome, they were well deserved.
I'm seriously considering your offer still. You've done a lot of work and research apparently. I'd like to see some of the sites you've developed if you'd like to send me some links. Maybe we can do some swapping out.

Good luck with your flow chart, sounds like you have a lot of work ahead of you.

9. Yah! To hell with kids who are molested by Democratic or non-affiliated monsters!
Edited on Mon May-21-07 09:32 AM by BlooInBloo
Note to children: If you're molested, better hope it's by a republican, else DUers won't give a shit.

Sheesh.


Edit: Subject typo.

16. I actually did a search on democrats, and only found 2 references
one was to Barney Frank and the other to Bill Clinton. You can do a search if you'd like. Any reason you're sticking up for republican sex offenders??

11. that could be a good thing, because presumably the list will be a LOT
shorter.

if there are truly sex offenders among Democrats, they deserve to have their names in cyberspace along with all the other slimeballs.

33. Here is a table of demographics of actual sex offenders
http://www.uscourts.gov/fedprob/June_2006/sexoffenderrevocation_appendixa.html

95.5% of them are male, no surprise there. 64.3% are white - The Census Bureau's 2005 American Community Survey reported that 74.7% of the population is white, so that's no surprise either.

Since men are more likely to be registered as Republicans, that is one good reason you hear about Republican sex offenders. I think the other is the intense hypocrisy of some of the high-profile ones, which is fair enough, they deserve it.

But clearly the problem is not limited to white males.

See http://www.uscourts.gov/fedprob/June_2006/sexoffenderrevocation.html for a more detailed discussion with additional links.

38. Gacy held public office?
even if so, nobody will deny that there are sex offenders, child molesters, and even serial killers who are Democrats.

But your original allegation that there are probably "as many" as repukes is ridiculous.

Nice goalpost move! Gacy was very active in Democratic politics in Chicago. That information is easy to find.

But your original allegation that there are probably "as many" as repukes is ridiculous.

Let's use the Wayback Machine to see what my "original allegation" actual was:

If you think "A bit shorter, maybe half the size" means exactly the same as "as many", your reading comprehension problem is beyond anything I could do to help.

43. why the "half the size" statistic? why not 63.4% or 42.8%?
"a bit shorter" -- without any real facts, your "statistics" are bullshit.

I again call bullshit on your entire argument.

But you are free to believe whatever you want.

44. As opposed to your "a LOT shorter" statistic
Edited on Mon May-21-07 06:51 PM by slackmaster
Is "a LOT" a much bigger difference than "a lot"? How does it compare with a shitload?

I again call bullshit on your entire argument.

That's OK with me, but you have presented no facts to refute it. As a matter of fact, you haven't presented any facts at all. I stated up front that #13 was my opinion. I don't represent it as fact, but in the absence of verifiable information to the contrary it's usually safe to assume that the prevalence of a particular trait in one subset of the population is about the same as in any other subset of the population.

22. agreed, party line shouldn't and won't determine whether they are on the list
but keeping them separated will show the difference in the parties. I did search for Dems also, and only came up with 2, as stated in a post above. However, these two were never charged, nor convicted, with a crime. Allegations alone wont get you listed if I do this site, only convicted or plead guilty, where it's in the public records, so there is no way to get hit with slander or libel suits.

If anyone has a reliable source for Dem offenders, please point me to it.

Thanks,

Ghost
