who they really are. It's not surprising that they are corrupt in politics, look at how they live their private lives:

2011
In Wisconsin, Republican state Senator Randy Hopper, while

claiming to still live with his wife, was actually living

outside the district he represents with a much younger

25-year-old mistress. In early 2011, the mistress was hired by

a conservative lobbyist firm and given a state employee's job

at rate of pay much higher than the previous person doing the

job.

2010
NRCC (National Republican Congressional Committee) uses a

strip club named Forty Deuce in Las Vegas for fundraiser

gatherings with Pete Sessions in attendance. He claims there

was no nudity involved. In Feb. 2009, Tao, another Las Vegas

club of questionable family values and clothing requirements,

was used.


--------------------------------------------------------------



RNC uses party funds to pay rich, young Republican donors to

attend a Hollywood night club specializing in lesbians,

bondage, and S&M.Washington Post March 30, 2010 Michael

Steele appears to have authorized it at least indirectly as

part of his "off the hook" PR campaign. A Young Republican who

knew Steele personally named Erik Brown was involved.


--------------------------------------------------------------

Roy Ashburn, the conservative Republican California state

senator, who was arrested in March of 2010 for drunk driving

after reportedly leaving a gay bar, has acknowledged that he

is gay. Ashburn, a divorced father of four, has repeatedly

voted in opposition to gay rights, and in 2005 hosted a rally

in favor of "traditional marriage." He has voted against

expanding anti-discrimination laws to include sexual

orientation, recognizing out-of-state gay marriages and

establishing a day honoring gay lawmaker Harvey Milk.
--------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------
2009
Mike Duvall, a Republican politician and a former member of

the California State Assembly, resigned after his sex comments

were broadcast in Sept. 2009. In the video, the married

family-values crusader from Yorba Linda talks in graphic

detail about women he said he slept with -- at least one of

whom appeared to be a lobbyist with business before the

utilities committee on which Duvall sat as vice chairman.
