Matt Gaetz Is Just a Symptom - The GQP Is the Disease

In case nobody has noticed, the Republican Party is full of self-righteous elected officials who don't follow the teachings of the brand of Christianity they claim to follow. Dallying with underaged girls (or boys)? No big deal for Republicans. Casual adultery? No problem. Stealing? That Commandment is just a suggestion.

Turn over the rock the GQP is standing on, and you'll find all sorts of noxious, foul lifeforms under it. They're standing on that rock to keep you from looking.

From Donald J. Trump and Mitt Romney to Gym Jordan and Mattie Gaetz, the party is covered in nasty-smelling slime, masked by the "odor of sanctity."

Don't listen to what Republican leaders say. That all comes from a phrase book, first written by Newt Gingrich, and revised constantly by other GQP evangelists and even the Russians. Watch what they do. That is who they are.

The GQP is now officially the "Grab Them by the Pussy" Party. They know their supporters don't care what they do. They know those supporters will vote for them, regardless of their true ideals, which are far different from the "ideals" that come out of their mouths.

Let's push GQP leaders off their rocks and turn over those stones, with cameras recording everything discovered underneath. Let's expose every bit of nastiness that lies under their feet of clay.

with the pious catholic woman, pictured in a veil, praying in the National Cathedral. Not to mention his sister:

"Gingrich’s sister, Candace Gingrich-Jones, a gay-rights activist, also told me she would not vote for him. She added, “It’s not my place to judge anyone, but it’s frustrating as hell that there are people—my brother included—that are able to enjoy marriage equality more than once.”

Astounding hypocrisy!!
