This article from the Daily Beast documents what many of us suspected: both parties are equally perverted. The point here is that Republicans are hypocritical when it comes to morality. Many of these Republicans caught in sex scandals were fond of talking family and God. They would regularly decry the moral depravity of Democrats, Hollywood, and the Hippies. It turns out they are the most sexual perverted (with the exception of Bill Clinton). How ironic. Liberals are supposed to be more promiscuous. And let's not forget how many Republicans/Conservatives denounced Bill Clinton's adulterous behavior:
With every other issue devolving into partisan finger-pointing, The Daily Beast thought it would use two decades of cold, hard data and rational methodology to answer the question everyone in Washington wants to know: Which party has more problems with sex scandals?
After studying the 58 scandals over the past 20 years involving all politicians or major candidates for city mayor and above—many involved crimes, others just allegations, but all wound up as tabloid fodder—some conclusions can be reached.
• The number sex scandals has increased dramatically over the past few decades, thanks to technology, new press standards and a post-Clinton belief that everything is fair game.
• Republicans have more scandals (32 to 26), but Democrats have bigger ones, based on our methodology (13 out of the top 20).
• Democrats tend to have more problems with harassment, staffers and underage girls; Republicans tend to have more problems with prostitutes, hypocrisy and underage boys.
