Why were the Republicans protecting a pedophile?

[NNN0LHI]

Because they were protecting themselves too.

I predict many more Republicans are going to be submitting their resignations in the coming weeks.

Might be some Republicans changing parties over this fiasco too.

I sure wouldn't want to belong to the party of pedophiles.

2. It isn't a matter of protecting, that is expected, it is allowing it to

Continue with their endorsement....We need Justification why those people in Leadership allowed this behavior to continue...

[whistle]

3. It is what GOP stands for Groping Old Pedophiles....

...I think these people are so into their own bullshit about family values, power lust and materialism that their own hypocrisy and corruption has made them insane and eaten away their souls.

4. They were protecting The Party.

The Party is more important than the individual, the government, or the nation.

5. They could have told him not to run for re-election and ended it

There is more to this story than party politics. I promise.

7. They would protect a serial killer if they thought it would keep their

ratings up.

Pathetic, isn't it.

8. Because they are above the law

Who knows what shit they've gotten away with.
