Congressional Turkey

I’m going to give some advice to the Republicans.

Shut.
Up.

Seriously. This is good advice. You can’t win this. There is NO WAY OUT. You are going to have to fall completely on this grenade.

Hastert? Resign now. Dems are begging for him to stay. Every moment he hangs in there is another moment we’re all reminded Republicans are more concerned about their party than protecting children from pedophiles.

Lay off the Webster. I mean the dictionary. Arguing the difference between a pedophile, molester, and pervert will not help. Most people don’t care about the difference, and the ones that do still don’t like pervs. Well, maybe a couple. For the general public, the man’s a CHILD MOLESTER.

Quit the Florida election. It does not matter that you got Joe Negron to run in Foley’s place and that he gets Foley’s votes. Foley’s name is still on the ballot. Can you imagine being a hardcore Republican, going into the booth, and having to mark an X next to child molester’s name to support your party? Don’t ask your voters to do that. Don’t ask Negron to connect himself to a child molester. Just give up and support Tim Mahoney.

Don’t blame the dems for taking political advantage. You tell me what’s worse – making political capital when your opponent self-destructs or child molesting. The more you point your fingers at the Dems, the more it’s going to look like you support molesting children.

Stop using the defense that you knew only about the “overly friendly” emails and not the graphic IMs. That’s not cutting it with anyone. Just lie. Either say you punched him in the face six months ago or say you never knew. Give your base SOMETHING to cling to, no matter how pathetic. Better than belonging to the FRIENDS OF THE CHILD MOLESTER club.

Basically, Republicans, you’re being bent over like a NAMBLA member. Take it like a man. Or a page.
