We start with a guy who, when he wanted to go into politics, joined the party that was most popular in his district and voted with the other reps in his party when he was elected in order to help his career.
It's called opportunism and it's not very rare.
With him we have the additional twist that he is, if not an actual child molester, a child-porn enthusiast.
When he was arrested he knew that he could never be elected as a Republican ever again.
Meanwhile his stepdaughter was busy becoming a porn star.
Now, women in the porn industry are generally victims of child sexual abuse and/or neglect. It wouldn't surprise me if this guy's stepdaughter's entry into the porn world and his personal proclivities didn't have a disturbing link somewhere in the past.
He is a pervert and his daughter is, sadly, a whore.
Luckily, he wasn't able to fool the Repubican voters forever.
I think your reply at #36 pretty well sums it up. Well said!
Osculating the toes, maybe. :)
