Does the Republican Party worry about sexual morality because they themselves are sexually immoral?

Now that Republican Representative Foley has resigned from Congress due to innappropriate sexually-explicit email/im's with underage boys, can we finally lay to rest the idea that Republicans occupy a moral high ground?

Check out the list of perverts at the link! All prominent Republicans!

Update:

Bambi Slayer: 1. Who said I was a Dem? 2. It's "morals". 3. Can you provide a similar list of pedophiles and convicted sex offenders that are Dems?

Update 2:

sawy - again, who says I'm a Dem?

Update 3:

FYI: I'm not a Democrat. I'm unaffiliated, and have voted for many different political parties.

Update 4:

The entire Republican leadership has their hands dirty with this Foley business:

Is every single Republican to blaim? No, sorry I implied that. Are Republican attempts to paint themselves as morally superior a bunch of hypocrisy? That's more to the point...

    Th National Republican party do not worry about sexual immorality. They only make an issue out of it as the vast majority of their donors are right wing Christians that want it to be an issue. (Why was Jerry Falwell reading Hustler?)

    It is also a good distraction from the short comings of the Republican party platform. It is easier to rant and rave about sex than it is to fix the social and economic mess our nation is in. It is also free to do and hard to argue against.

    Why focus on a real issue in America when you can rant about something no one can defend with out looking like a pervert?

    Sounds like you live among the Jim Bakker flock...

    Seriously, morality or lack thereof is not political. Great and moral people (and less than great and immoral) are on both sides of the aisle.

    It's just that your average practicing Christian striving for morality tends to feel more affiliation with the beliefs of the Republican party. It's not the party that dictates morality...

    Alright you racial minorities. Isn't that the same as saying that all of a group is bad because one person is found to be? That would mean that all the (men?) in the democratic party are getting "head" from one of the female members. That all the party members are stealing money and stashing it in their refrigerators. Comprendo?

    No, because we are traditionalist and don't want homos raising children that share a classroom with our kids.
