Both parties have plenty of perverts. I'm of the opinion that someone has to be amoral or immoral to want to be a politician at any level above local government (and even that is questionable). This question has to do if one of the two main parties is more likely to tolerate or defend its perverts.
From my perspective on the right, it seems to me that Republicans have a knee-jerk tendency to toss out any suspected pervert with or without evidence. Larry Craig, Bob Packwood,etc. are shown the door almost immediately. Hell, Larry Craig was engaging in a celebrated Democrat activity. On the other hand, Democrats have tolerated Bill "Riding Dirty" Clinton, Hillary Clinton's personal destruction of women Clinton has abused, Ted Kennedy and Chris Dodd's waitress sandwiches, Joe "Handsy" Biden, JFK, RFK, and the list goes on.
Curious how everyone sees it. To be fair, the Republicans do tout themselves as the party of family values, so it would make sense that hey have to be mindful of perverts for that reason. Democrats are the anti-family values party, so it would make sense that they would be a bit more tolerant of perverts.
Sure, meanwhile I'm watching the second week of unrelenting bashing of Moore on the evening news and the media, and two days later, nary a mention of the dimwit Franken.
The democrats defend those of their own party far more than R's do.
The poll question choices are misleading, likely purposefully.

Oh yeah.
Franken has done it ONCE, has been honest and saying yes he did, he'll have an ethics hearing and will cooperate.
Trump denies everything, They were too ugly for him. While he's talking about doing someone who was married and grabbing p^$$y's. AND ITS ON TAPE! This is th F^*CK*NG president!
And this Moore clown from Alabama, uses God to stand behind his sins. He was so bad, he was banned from a mall! You have to be really bad to be banned from a mall.
So did Clinton, both parties contain members (no pun intended) of the male sex.
It really isn't a political issue. But one overbearing, uptight, dictatorial political party will make it one, like everything or anything else, that they might use to gain votes for their side.

I voted both, because there have been times when both parties have shielded somebody rather than tossed 'em out on their ear.
However, I would note of the two parties, it's more likely the Republicans who are thumping their Bibles and telling everybody else how to live....while not obeying the rules themselves. The Democrats don't tend to do that. So while they're both equally guilty, the Republicans also have an added layer of hypocrisy to their shenanigans.

Is this supposed to be a serious take on the parties? Family values? Uh--not since the 50s.
Isn't Donald Trump a republican?
