This is a sequel to a video I edited four months ago entitled "Republican Party Values", which cataloged some (not nearly all) of the criminal offenses of the Republican Party leadership since George W. Bush was selected president in 2001. For this project I decided to focus more on the Republican Party claim that they alone exemplify American morality and "family values" by putting together a short montage of some of their sexual indiscretions since the partisan witch hunt against President Clinton in 1998, as well as a few notable exceptions outside that time frame. Ultimately this is not a story about sex, but about hypocrisy. It is a story about a modern Republican Party obsessed with capitalizing on bigotry and human frailty to score cheap political points for lack of any positive political platform while they themselves engage in the behavior they're so quick to demonize. 01. Giuliani divorced 1st wife after "discovering" that she was his SECOND cousin! Then cheated twice on his SECOND wife. 02. Larry Craig - has a wide stance 03. Rep Ken Calvert California - arresting while fucking a prostitute 04. Rep Henry Hyde - Illinois - cheated on his wife 05. Rep Ed Schrock - Virginia - Anti-Gay Republican outed as Gay, resigns 06. Rep Dan Burton - Indiana - Fathered kid from ExtraMarital affair 07. Mayor Jim West - Oregon - accused with sexual abuse and resigned 08. Glenn Murphy - Chairman Young Reps - Criminal Deviate conduct 09. Rep Bob Livingston - cheated and resigned 10. Rep Bob Allen - wanted a (Gay?) whore in a mens room 11. Sen David Vitter - Family Values campaigner who went whoring 12. Rep Don Sherwood - Penn - attempted to strangle his mistress 13. Rep Steven Latourette - cheated with a LOBBYist 14. Jeff Gannon - Conservative reporter - moonlighted as a Male whore 15. Rep Bob Barr - Anti-Abortionist who paid for his wife's Abortion 16. Randy L Tobias - Dep Secretary of STATE - Pimp Prostitution related racketeering 17. F Figueroa - wanking in front of a kid 18. Pastor T Haggard - advisor to Bush - Gay sex allegations, resigned 19. Rep Gibbons attacked a prostitute 20. Rep Curtis - gay whoring 21. Speaker Gingrich - had an affair at the same time he persecuted Clinton for the Lewinsky affair.

Nevada Republican Congressman and Candidate for Governor Jim Gibbons hired an illegal alien as a nanny.
Another Jim Gibbons scandal. He employed an illegal immigrant as a housekeeper and nanny. Gibbons broke the laws he voted for. He then fired his nanny before his last failed Governor's Campaign. Nevadans just can't trust Jim Gibbons - a national embarrasment.
