To be fair, there have been Democrats and independents who have faced similar charges.

I don't think anyone sharing a list of Republicans who have been brought up on charges is making any claim that it doesn't happen outside the Republican party. If the Republicans are dumb enough to try to use this as their reasoning for trying to deny affirming KBJ then they deserve to be called out as the hypocrites they are. I'd be fine with it the other direction too if they tried equally stupid posturing. As they say he who lives in a glass house shall not cast stones. |

And then there is this too.... There is a mind set with a segment of the GOP party that rather than have young girls running around loose, having sex with random guys and ending up pregnant (and in danger of wanting to have an abortion) it’s better to marry girls off when they first start to have sexual feelings, around 14 to 15 years old. Marry them off to a carefully selected older man who will be able to take care of her and control her sexual activity to just the marital bed. Then once she has a baby or two she’ll be properly housebound and a good little wife. This was a common belief, back a couple hundred years ago, and some of us have not moved away from that world view much in the decades since. |

It is so much easier than dealing with one of those uppity women with, like, her own thoughts and beliefs and everything. One who thinks she should be (shudder) equal rather than owned like the property she is.  |
