The modern conservative/republican movement attracts sociopaths. As medical professionals know, sociopaths are much more likely to pay for sex than people with a conscience.

I had the conventional wisdom that politicians and their entourages were all about the sex industry and "cutting loose" when out on the town. I pitched and upsold the escorts/clubs on that wisdom, that it would be a boom time and that that THIS was THE time to buy ads because they'd be VERY busy. I'm not sure how it is at GOP conventions, but I can tell you that the next week, I had to deal with a LOT of VERY ANGRY escorts and clubowners. Apparantly business not only didn't spike, but they actually lost business during the week. The Dems didn't screw around apparantly. I think this article is based on some ad salesman's pitch that he's only using to drive sales.

I'm referrring to ace reporter Jeff/James Gannon/Guckert. It has been my life-long observation that people who have sex regularly are not as obsessed with it as people who try to suppress natural psychology. Mental health professionals agree. Suppression and right-wing religion results in abberant behavior like Jimmy Swaggert's. His hooker said he was the sickest customer she ever had.
