Oklahoma Senator Caught In Hotel Room With Underage Boy
Oklahoma Senator Caught In Hotel Room With Underage Boy

Family Values: Christian conservative and Republican state Senator Ralph Shortey is busted with an underage boy in his hotel room; police recommend 3 prostitution-related charges.
Senator Shortey, a member of Donald Trump’s leadership team in Oklahoma, will be charged with soliciting prostitution of a minor, prostitution within 1000 feet of a church, and transporting for the purpose of prostitution, according to a report filed by KOCO News.
Shortey was found with a teenage boy in a motel in the town of Moore on the night of March 9, after an anonymous tip was made to police requesting for a welfare check on the hotel room.
Lt. Kyle Dudley told NewsOK.com:
On March 9 … officers of the Moore Police Department were contacted in reference to a welfare check at a local hotel. Responding officers found a juvenile male in a hotel room which was also occupied by an adult male. The circumstances surrounding this incident are currently under investigation and no additional information can be released at this time.
Shortey, 35, represents Oklahoma City. Elected in 2010, the senator is a prominent Christian conservative in Oklahoma politics, known for being a birther, and a Trump supporter. Raw Story reports Shortey was the state chair of President Donald Trump’s campaign during the primary elections.
According to reports, Shortey “attended Heartland Baptist Bible College in Oklahoma City in preparation for mission work in Uganda,” before beginning his political career.
Before being busted with an underage boy in his hotel room, the anti-abortion, Christian conservative made national news in 2012 when he proposed a bill that would ban human fetuses from being used in food.
I'll bet you think that Trump promotes playing with little boys.
Bad Trump day?
Your basic talibornagain psychopath. Nothing screams "Family Values" like a conservative evangelical state senator in a hotel room with an underaged boy.

It makes me very sad when I even hear of allegations of an underage kid being used for sexual favors. There has been a lot in the news about teachers having sex with their students lately and they are going to jail. Before that there was the scandal of priests involved in the Catholic church abusing boys. Two professions right there a parent wouldn't normally concern themselves interacting with their children. But not so much these days.
So far the report says he was caught with an underage boy in a hotel room. That doesn't look good.
The fact that he is a Republican is only fodder for the left who are not being honest with the history of their own sex scandals within the party.
The difference between a Republican and a Democrat in regard to these things is Republicans will immediately throw one of their own under the bus for such actions. Democrats, not so much.
Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R) was sentenced to 15 months in prison and ordered to pay $250,000 to a victims' fund in a hush money case that revealed he was being accused of sexually abusing young boys as a teacher in Illinois. The 74 year old admitted in court to abusing several young boys as their wrestling coach. Of course this didn't happen until long after he left office but while he was in office there were rumors running rampant that some of his male aides were living with him in his Washington residence eluding to something else. You haven't heard a Republican mention the name Dennis Hastert in a long time.
Now compare that to Rep. Barney Frank (D). The outspoken Massachusetts Democrat hired a male prostitute who ran a prostitution service from Frank’s residence in the 1980s. Only two Democrats in the House of Representatives voted to censure him in 1990. This happened the same time Hastert was Speaker of the House. And another case that happened around the same time was Former Rep. Gerry Studds (D). He was censured for sexual relationship with underage male page in 1983. Massachusetts voters didn't seem to mind because they returned him to office 6 more terms. Did the voters even know about Studds censure and behavior related to it? Could be because when it comes to reporting on politicians the MSM is very selective on who they report on and who they do not.
Remember the Gore/Edwards ticket in 2004? Edwards was a former senator of N.C.. They ended up losing but not after a tumultuous fight in Florida and managing delaying Bush's administration to get up and running. But it doesn't stop there with Edwards..... he became a candidate in the Democratic primary for president in 2008. All the MSM knew of his affair and love child during the primary but decided not to report on it. His affair had been going on for sometime while his wife was fighting for her life diagnosed with cancer. They did not report on it until well after the Democratic primary. And that was spurred by the fact that Edwards' wife died. What a POS.
But what did the MSM do? Well they finally reported the story "briefly" while quickly changing the storyline to one Governor Mark Sanford (R). Mark Sanford had his email hacked and it revealed he was having an affair with some hot babe in Venezuela. That story of course was the lead for months on the MSM which ultimately brought Mark Sanford to admit his infidelity and resigned his post as governor. BUT! after all the smoke cleared and the makings of this story was revealed, S.C. voted him to serve as their representative in the House.
You know if Anthony Weiner was a Republican, his story would be the headline in much of the MSM.
All this doesn't take away of the underage being abused by those who are in some form of power whether church, Democrats or Republicans or anyone else. I hope they catch every SOB. As a mother and a grandmother if any of my children or grandchildren faced that kind of abuse of people in authority, I'm afraid I would be their worst enemy.
Bad Trump day?
I know, right? I keep asking uber Christians to show me in the Bible where Christ said, or led by example, that we should mandate by law people following his word? Not one has to date, and it shuts them up rather quickly.I'm a Christian. I have little problem with Christian bashing on this topic.....WE deserve it. I say we, however you probably wouldn't be able to tell so much as I disagree with the kind of Christian described in the OP.
I don't know how it happened, and I am no Biblical scholar, hell I was 42 before I walked into a Church. Bt I have not been able to find anywhere in the Bible that because we follow the teachings of a Jewish Carpenter we get to tell people how to live. In fact, I read this guy as more "live and let live". I notice with the adulterous woman he said no more than "sin no more" and let it go.
So the criticism is valid as what others do is none of our business
and I do not think that bar was set very high!The only thing that would keep me from winning the election is to be caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy
LOL...It sounds like he failed the Edwin Edwards morality test,

The truth is they're not always the one getting caught. They are simply the ones having the biggest stories made about them.

Edwin Edwards fit the mold of a Louisiana Governor.LOL...
Did he really say all those things?
Probably a democrat icon as well...
Meh. Look up Rep. Gerry Studds, Massachusetts. Voters re-elected him six times after he was censured for having sex with an underage male page. Or you could look up Rep.Mel Reynolds. And there are others on the left to add to that list.
It's a people problem, not a party problem.
Must be a bad liberal/socialist/fascist/progressive day to try and make this a partisan thing.

But say some **** like this about a muslim and you are a bigot... go figger.
Anyway, this d00sh needs to be put in gen pop.... what a scumbag.
I think much better, I think one of his campaign quotes was "I have only been indited!"Was he as efficient in a crisis as Ray Negin?
What an amazingly stupid post. You are better than that.
If it is a muslim leader who rails against this sort of thing and gets caught with a child in a hotel...yeah, I'll condemn him
