A little bestiality with your family values, anyone?The Republican Party has some kind of magnetic pull for the repulsive, the sick, the deranged, and the stupid. Here to prove that is your Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who is trailing in the latest Republican poll against his Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes.
How to get more people on his side? Oh, how about hosting a huge fundraiser last Tuesday for six-term incumbent Republican Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran who during a campaign speech no less joked that he would spend time as a kid doing all sorts of indecent things with animals.
Oh? Do tell, Senator. Please.
Just days ago at an National Republican Senate Committee briefing, Politico reported senior staff told a packed room of more than 50 in-house and contract lobbyists that McConnell is all-in on the race (Cochrans race)
Senator McConnell must be proud to have just raised $825,000 for Senator Cochran of indecent things to animals infamy. Cochran counts McConnell as a good friend who is helpful.

(14,733 posts)1. But they were FEMALE animals, right?
Now if he'd been doing 'indecent things' with male animals, they would have condemned him six ways to sunday.

They truly are sadistic people. It's 'funny' to them to make these statements and get away with it. And Erich is right (see below) as long as they were female animals or animals that 'looked different from the rest' they are okay with it.
They dehumanize human beings - why wouldn't sick torture of an animal be par for the course?

sometimes called the "serial killer trifecta"? Odds are he's not doing that, but anyone who can hurt an animal just for shits and giggles (think GWB blowing up frogs with firecrackers) doesn't need any kind of power.

Thought I might need to add this.
