So, all these Republicans retiring from Congress. Is it possible Larry Flint
had some dirt on them? It just seems odd that there are so many retiring right now with such an important election coming up.

3. I'm beginning to believe Flynt doesn't have anything otherwise he would
set it loose.

4. I would rather have him take his time and work behind the scenes to the
extent that no one will contest him in the steps. And, the law can move slowly if he is working with the Madame.

9. I agree, at least nothing concrete
I think many of these repukes just don't like being in the minority and don't see that changing any time soon.

6. More to do with the Corrupt Bastards Club. The members are Moving On
to jail cells or to the industries they represented so well, and took their bribes from.

7. thats been on my mind too. Two weeks ago Larry did an interview and said he
would be spilling some stuff in 1-2 weeks. During that time some Repugs suddenly announce retirements.

8. If it's true Larry is causing this then he deserves a medal of honor
and he is certainly getting more done than our Democratic Congress.

10. Seems unlikely to me that Flynt would offer to withhold info if the repukes step down
Because wouldn't that fall entirely under the legal definition of blackmail? Naw, the information will come out whether they leave or not.
