Moral Majority

Filed in National by on August 7, 2008

Hey look at the Mo. Republican Muschany that co-sponsored a bill in 2006 that toughened sex offender laws.

JEFFERSON CITY — Missouri state Rep. Scott Muschany, R-Frontenac, was indicted today in connection with a reported sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl on May 17, the day after this year’s Legislative session ended.

The alleged victim is the daughter of a state employee. The girl’s mother and Muschany -– who is married and has two children — were romantically involved, the woman said.

A Cole County grand jury returned an indictment today charging Muschany with the Class C felony of “deviate sexual assault.” The indictment identifies the victim only by initials. It says that on May 17, Muschany “had deviate sexual intercourse” with the girl, “knowing that he did so without” her consent.

    Great, if he is guilty I am glad the laws were tightened. He did us a favor. Naturally, I will wait until there is a trial to make a conclusion of guilt, but it sounds like the system is working in MO.

    I wonder what the moral majority has to do with any of it though. Are you saying it was wrong to tighten the laws? I hope not. Are you saying that laws should not generally reflect the morays of the majority?

    Did Gov. Spitzer or NJ Assemblyman Neil Cohen have anything to do with the moral majority?

    “Are you saying that laws should not generally reflect the morays of the majority? I wonder what the moral majority has to do with any of it though.”

    Um…what do you have to say to DAVE’S comment? I’m guessing nothing.

    hypocrisy: a pretense of having a virtuous character, moral or religious beliefs or principles, etc., that one does not really possess.

    I just love these Repuks with their “Do as I say not as I do theory” From little girls ,pages and wide stances. Good old Senator Vetter you know him the Diaper boy. I just loved the comment his wife made after the Clinton BJ that if her husband ever did anything like that ,that she would cut off his man hood. But when the time came for her like all Repuks she looked the other way. The Repuk party reeks of HYPOCRISY
