An Honest Question to the Modern Republican Party

I am not trying to be snarky or subversive or partisan. I understand this question may be perceived that way, but it's not. I want an honest answer out of it.

This is coming from the observations that:




With all that I've pointed out as publicly documented scandals involving Republican party figures - some of them key leaders among the ranks - this is the question I am posing to the entire Republican Party.

With all your obsessions with attacking Democrats - not even specific individuals like Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama (who never faced serious criminal investigation before or during his tenure), I am talking about the whole party -  as corrupt or crooked or deviant, why the hell are you worried about them when your own house is a goddamn mess?

You do understand how hypocritical the Republican Party seems to any rational outside observer, when you are bashing Hillary for all the sins she's been accused of ("But her emails") while your own party leadership are violating legal, ethical and moral standards across the board?

Any sane and responsible party leader would be at the least gathering everyone in a backroom somewhere behind closed doors and yelling at the rank and file "GODDAMMIT WILL YOU KEEP YOUR OWN DAMN NOSES CLEAN!"

But you're not. None of you, not the vacating and fleeing Paul Ryan, not the obstructive and offensive Mitch McConnell, not your party spokesfigures Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity, not even the "adults" in the room like John McCain or Lindsey Graham or Mitt Romney (yeah, that's how bad it is that the Plastic One with all his corporate greed is now the moral leader of the GOP).

Answer that question, Republicans. Why berate anyone else for criminal misdeeds when your party is getting caught nearly every other day breaking federal and state laws?

Since 1965

Democrats (25 years in power):
3 indictments
1 conviction
1 prison sentence.

Republicans (28 years in power):
120 indictments
89 convictions
34 prison sentences.

Remind me again how both parties are basically the same?"
