Another Messed Up Republican Story

It's easy. Unfortunately it happens in the UK all the time. People being forced to reseign from public office over stupid personal choices that don't really have any implication or bearing on how capable they are of doing their job but are hounded by opposing parties and media to the point where their job becomes untenable because every question they get asked from the press becomes about what they have done in their private lives.

Exactly, the point of this was a PERSONAL attack. Not a political one. The fact that he's a Republican just made it funnier.

It wasn't a "republicans are messed up". It was a "jesus, look, another political pervert."

Long story short. South Carolina Republican Assistant Attorney General Roland Corning was fired after being caught on his lunch break in his SUV parked in a cemetery with an 18 year old stripper whom he had paid for sex and a whole mess of sex toys and viagra

This gets the OFM seal of approval.

The fact that he's a republican made you post it, otherwise why do it? There's hundreds of stories of people carrying out far worse and more perverted sexual acts than this yet this is what you post.

So please don't act like the fact the man is a republican is a mere footnote in this story that had no bearing on why you posted it. If that were the case then it'd wouldn't be the 1st thing you mentioned after "long story shor". We're not idiots. We've seen your posting history and know your political opinions.

Here's another example of it.

possible Republican Necrophile

So if it had nothing to do with his political affiliation, why bring it up again?

Don't be a moron. Slander is spoken, libel is written.

Unfortunately, regardless of what the US and Europe does now. China India and Brazil are about to do exactly the same. There is some attempt to alleviate this going on right now prior to the Copenhagen conference but it'll make little difference because the only argument that China, India, Brazil and other developing economies have to use is "Well you got to develop off the back of damaging industry...What makes you think you have the right to deny us that same growth?"

All 3 of those big countries will take over the US and Europe in terms of energy usage in the next couple of decades.

Yes, I agree. At least Brazil uses more ethanol than it does oil but that presents it's own set of problems.

The thing is, there won't be enough oil, especially at a reasonable price, to fuel China and India's explosive growth so following the US model won't work.

I would have posted it anyway regardless of party. But to me, a Republican necrophile is funnier than a democratic one because it's so twisted yet so expected. When democrats do something messed up it at least conforms to social norms. I think i've demonstrated that I hate both political parties and just think the democrats are less retarded by a micron.

There's plently of oil. The US has just alienated many of the countries who supply it. Hence the reason China are making far more allies in Africa and Russia than the US. Securing their oil reserves. There's also a shit load of coal left which will be the even more enviromentally damaging energy source. China already uses huge and ever increasing volumes of it. Same with, oddly, Australia.

Brazil using ethanol and biofuels by destroying rainforest regions is potentiall the single biggest enviromental concern in the world.

Same with palm oil production in other parts of the tropics.

Now that's a low blow. *-(

I agree that hypocrisy makes it worse. I don't know this man's politics nor do I care all that much. It does bring up some memories of British politicians though.

The Tory party are our equivalent of Republicans. Touting traditional values of marriage etc. Some of their sex scandals have been absolutely hilarious.

That being one of the most tragic (yet still damn funny).

The man was fired. What more do you want?

Seriously. Who gives a **** WHAT he's doing... why was someone looking into his car anyway?

Around here it's called "dogging".

There is still a lot of oil, but not conventional oil. ALL of the major conventional oil fields worldwide are in decline. The remaining oil is either deep sea or tar sands, of which ironically the US and Canada have the largest reserves, both of which are expensive to extract. Oil needs to be in the $160-$180 a barrel range (that's at the current value of the dollar) for it to be economically viable to extract tar sand oil. China and India will simply not be able to do it the way the US did when oil was cheap. Yes, coal will be an unwelcome alternative but one which probably can't be avoided. The US has lots of coal as well.

And I agree with you on Brazil's ethanol policies. Not only for the environmental impact but also for the ramifications ethanol production, from a global perspective, could have on world food prices. Like I said, a whole different set of problems.

Oil isn't really the topic for this thread, so if we could steer it back toward dirty Republicans, that'd be great.

And I suppose you could pin it on dogging, but why would you then go report that you were dogging? Seems... rather awkward.

Because you could use the concerned citizen excuse and say that you were visiting a relative's grave and happened to glance in the steamy windows of the bouncing car. Simply wait until your erection had subsided, phone the papers and collect your money for breaking the story.

Was he in his car? In my head I pictured him on a masonic pyramid since leaning on a gravestone would just be painful.

Now you're just airing your own personal fantasies. Sicko.
