Why do they still run on being "moral conservatives"?

[Vox Acerbus]

Received a flyer from this right winger today in my mailbox. Couldn't resist, had to send him an email from his website http://www.mickmulvaney.com


Dear Mr. Mulvaney,

I received a flyer from your campaign today. I see you are very up front about being a "moral conservative" and being a "conservative Republican".

I can only presume that you are politically tone deaf, touting your Republian "morals" the very same week that your party acknowledges a multi-year coverup of the sick, perverse actions of your colleague there on the Hill, Republican Mark Foley.

You are foolish to waste money on advertising to me as no Republican, particularly not any Republican who touts how "moral" he is, will ever get my vote. Keep your slimy, hypocritical nose to yourself. I believe you should stop trying to legislate and boast about morals for others, and instead focus on stoping the pedophiles in your own sick, disgraced Republican party.

And it's becoming more and more apparent that those of you who pretend to be morally superior, are usually the sickest, most deranged, hypocritical scumbags of the bunch. By all means, take the moral high ground. All that backlighting and your swelled head just make you a much easier target.

GOP = Gross Old Pedophiles

[Vox Acerbus]

2. Thanks Jeff!

I couldn't stop sneering at the flyer when I came upon it in my mailbox.

Was half tempted to draw devil's horns on the guy's picture before throwing it in the recycling. ;-)

5. Let's hope it'll be recycled into toilet paper

Which is what it should have been used for initially!

6. Well, the Republicans DO conserve their morals. They're moral

as infrequently as possible.

7. MORALS?

Since when is ProTorture and protecting child pedophiles moral? just asking.
