Can I get a list of Republicans not involved in any sex and/or corruption scandals please

[LynneSin]

Everyday I come to DU and I find ANOTHER republican caught with either his pants down around his/her ankles or his/her hand stuck in the proverbial cookie jar. It's getting to the point that it would almost be easier to list those Republicans who are free of any kind of scandal.

I can think of one - Rep Mike Castle of Delaware. The man is like your Grandfather, even democrats adore him.

Can you think of any other?

3. Drilled a hole in the bundling board.

Traditionally, participants were adolescents, with a boy staying at the residence of a girl. They were given separate blankets by the girl's parents and expected to talk to one another through the night. The practice was limited to the winter and sometimes the use of a bundling board, placed between the boy and girl, ensured that no sexual conduct would take place. More often, this rule was merely implicit, and was not always honored. In Colonial America, for instance, there are known instances of bundling causing premarital pregnancies.

The use of bundling boards allowed an expedient use of the practice of bundling in the early United States, where, in the case of a scarcity of beds, travellers were occasionally permitted to bundle with locals. This seemingly strange practice allowed extra money to be made by renting out half a bed. Hotels rented rooms for the night, shared by many occupants, and sharing a bed entailed an additional fee.

8. I was thinking more along the lines of

dead a buried. If a republic is breathing, make sure everything is either nailed down or locked up.

4. From The Straight Dope, speculation that Lincoln was gay.

"The chief evidence, if such it be, of Lincoln's homosexual inclination is his relationship with Joshua Speed, a handsome 22-year-old shopkeeper when the two men met in 1837. Abe, then a 28-year-old lawyer with bright prospects but poor cash flow, arrived in Springfield, Illinois, and asked about the price of bedding at Speed's general store. Learning that Lincoln was nearly broke, Speed invited him to share his bed upstairs. "The traveler inspected the bed and, looking into the merchant's sparkling blue eyes, agreed on the spot," Carol Lloyd wrote in Salon in 1999. "For the next four years the two men shared that bed along with their most private fears and desires."

Sure, Lloyd's retelling is tongue-in-cheek. While two young single guys in the same bed might seem pretty hot to us, the objective in pioneer days was usually just to stay warm. Nonetheless the intimacy of the two men's friendship suggests to some that there was more going on than frontier privation or fear of frostbite--and rabble-rousing gay activist Larry Kramer says he has proof, namely hitherto unknown letters and a diary kept by Speed. At a gay and lesbian conference in 1999 Kramer read from his unfinished book "The American People," quoting that diary: "He often kisses me when I tease him, often to shut me up . . . he would grab me up by his long arms and hug and hug," Speed purportedly wrote. "Yes, our Abe is like a schoolgirl." But Kramer won't submit his source material to scrutiny until the book's publication, so who knows if it'll wash. C.A. Tripp, a former Kinsey researcher and author of the milestone 1975 text The Homosexual Matrix, reportedly finished a book making similar claims shortly before his death in 2003, but there's no news on when we'll see it."

9. This may be a partial reason at least for Lincoln's severe depression bouts..eom

5. If you don't mind doing the research . . . .

if you don't mind doing the extensive research you can download Deborah Jeanne Palfrey's 15,000 phone number lists.
that is where Vitter was found.
They are raw numbers/data, you have to do the work connecting them to addresses & names.

Reportedly Cheney is on the lists.

Here are the raw data lists:
