Kiddie GOP Convention: Come For the Anal Retentive Chicks, Leave With A Rape Conviction
Submitted by Admin on Tue, 07/24/2007 - 8:11pm.
H/t to Jill at WLST for her hard work following this case and her insistence in finding Flory innocent until proven guilty. The majority of links in this post are from her diligent research.
What could be more fun than the Michigan "Federation of Young Republican's" Convention held in Cleveland last year? Well, Michael Flory, a "rising star" in the Republican party and head of the Young Republicans had an idea how to liven things up. A couple drinks later, after some great political debate, and some forced rape attendees were havin' rip roarin' time. Yeehaw - the Young Republican Convention rocks!
Today, facing 12 counts of rape, Flory pled guilty in a plea agreement. Prosecutors stated they will seek incarceration without leniency.
WLST first exposed Flory's longstanding ties to the GOP, and the plain dealer reports further today:
Flory gained some notoriety at age 18 when he gave a televised speech to the Republican National Convention in the Houston Astrodome in 1992. The Michigan Young Republicans' Web site once hailed him as "one of the rising stars of GOP politics in America" and declared that "Mike has earned a great name for himself."
The real importance here isn't that Flory is a Republican, but rather that this rape occurred at the official young republican convention while plenty of other young republicans observed their leader and let his predatory sexual behavior go unchecked:
Flory, the victim and other members of Michigan's delegation to the national Young Republicans convention were partying in the Warehouse District last July 6, police and prosecutors said. The victim became so intoxicated that she headed back to her hotel room. Flory escorted her.
But when she lay down to sleep, he "violently forced several sex acts upon her," Skutnik said.
You've got to ask, why didn't any of the other Young Republicans intervene? And exactly which other young republican leaders were with Flory in the events leading up to his violent, forced rape? It's worth thinking about...
Interestingly enough, Mike is an early endorsee of John McCain's campaign for President. Yet another intriguing development in the GOP Presidential hopefuls string of problems involving prominent supporters.
Man, from hookers to rape, the GOP has a real sex problem on their hands.
Politicians who rape

Boy, this guy sounds SO much like a guy from the 80's and 90's who did much the same thing. Now, who was that? Hmmmmm, oh yeah, he was Attorney General of an insignificant state when he raped Dollie Kyle Browning and ya know what? He hasn't denied it... to THIS DAY.
We all know how he went on to bigger and more creepy things with interns, desperate job seekers, state employees etc. Ya know, I believe that he TOO lost his law license but only for a little while, cause he's a demoncRAT and that means you never eally have to say you're sorry, huh?

How did he have time to rape anyone, what with all the murders he was committing and cocaine he was distributing?
Republicans: The ones that aren't rapists are merely delusional.

when it comes to the Clintons, Repukes actually become psychotic. I remember when they were hysterically claiming that Hillary was having an affair with Vince Foster at the same time they were insisting she was a lesbian. I figured that when Clinton left office 7 years ago, we would be done with that sh*t. Little did I know. The Clintons are a permanent fetish with the GOP: they will NEVER let it die.
And notice how they constantly try to use the Clintons to distract from their own crimes.
gee, naugy, what's the appropriate sentence?

maybe a bullet that you send to his mother? or perhaps something worse, since this guy actually has to register? oh wait....never mind.....you were probably at this convention sucking up to him. would love your thoughts, matty.

No, this case is nothing, absolutely zero like Bill Clinton you paranoid sh*t.
Here. Here is the actual declaration from Dolly Kyle Browning. You'll note she alleges to have been his girlfriend -- never that she was raped.

You know what else is different? This "Young" (?) Republican raped a woman and PLEADED GUILTY to it.
God you pathetic, cowardly putzes, the whole lot of you.

Give us a break. Don't people like you have your own web site to bullshit each other. Did the young punk plead guilty. That should be enough.
Keep pressing and someone will post the Juicy Details and make you and others like you happy. Tell your friends to either keep it in your pants or find another hottie young Republican that enjoys saying yes, yes, yes.
dolly was not a rape victim

The GOPers can't even keep their lies straight.
And the women who claimed Clinton attacked them were all proven to be liars themselves: Broaddrick, Paul Jones AND that little sleaze Kathleen Willey who had a fling with her tennis instructor (!) while still married, and when he dumped her she made up a story about having to abort his baby, just to make him feel guilty, when she never had been pregnant.
But Clinton is a convenient retort whenever any Repuke is caught in a sleazy sex scandal.
I hope his cell mate does

I hope his cell mate does the same thing to him as he did to the girl.
But at least it is not little kids!
You're a typical delusional GOP jerk, aren't you?

Despite the best efforts of the largest smear machine this country has ever seen, no one could find a single shred of evidence that Bill Clinton ever raped anyone. Not that it prevents anonymous cowards like yourself from repeating that slur. When are YOU going to say you're sorry, you miserable piece of crap?

In event of a vacancy, the Gov may appoint an interim Senator AND MUST call a special election to be held within 11 weeks of the vacancy occurring.
Apparently the Repubs don't think they could win an election to succeed Diaper Dave Vitter because they have all been showing him the love, instead of urging him to reign, having confessed to a misdemeanor, soliciting a prostitute, after all.
Hold it.

Look, this guy is trash for being a rapist, but it's ridiculous to try to smear all young Republicans because this idiot turned out to be a criminal.
And yes, for the record, the Republicans who try to paint with a broad brush are also being stupid.
Ummmm

Read the dispatch article. The rape happened at the Young GOP convention. Folks let Flory take her back. Sounds pretty despicable to me.
curious about Broadrick

When and how was she "proven" to be lying? My recollection was that Bill just refused to answer questions about it at all. So it was at most "she said he said," but was more like "she said, but he didn't say either way."
But if you have proof that she was lying - and not just a battle of opinions on who is believable - please provide links to that proof.

Just so you know, people are not always what they seem. Sometimes they don't portray themselves as they really are. It is wrong to try to lay "blame" at the doorstep of people who were around that did not know the true nature of the circumstances. "predatory sexual behavior" prior to the event did not neccesarily occur.
Three GOP sickos just this week
Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 08/10/2007 - 1:51pm.
The Grand Old Perverts gave us three new scandals just this week. This latest one features a rapist. Prior to that, the former national head (pun intended) of the young republicans is accused (for a second time) of wrapping his lips around another man's johnson without permission. Prior to that, Florida Rep. Bob Allen claimed a fear of black men prompted him to drop to his knees and offer to pay an undercover cop to receive a hummer. That's right, the cops say Allen wanted to deep throat the guy. The generational results of conservative conduct? Susan Smith. Mary Kaye LeTourneau. Family Values.
The list goes on and on and on and on.. Ted Haggard, the mayor of Spokane, gay prostitute Jeff Gannon running amok in Bush's White House (note to the next president: be sure to wipe the place down with clorox really really good before you move in).
Are all republicans sickos and perverts with secret lives, unable to control their own nads? I'll never shake hands with a republican again without rubber gloves.
And when anyone points these problems out to a rank and filer, they start spitting and pissing themselves. "Oh yeah? Well.. well.. uh.. Clinton! Clinton! Clinton, damn it!" Sorry kids. Bill Clinton: Prosecuted for nothing and acquitted. Most investigated, most exonerated.
But the GOPs choose to flower on the sticky, fetid floor of their own back-alley porno show. Family Values.

Hee hee, they got another GOPervert.
What it means
I don't know exactly yet - I have some writing to do before I can sit down and really write about why this case disturbs me so much, as I believe it should disturb a lot of people.
For the time being, I'm trying to find out from the PD reporter and if he's unable to answer, I'll find another source, for what this plea means in terms of sex offender registration laws, in Ohio and Michigan. I do not know that particular part of the law.
For me, one of the most worrisome aspects has been the absolute utter silence about this case, in both the media in Ohio and Michigan. I suppose for the victim that's a good thing and for Flory, at least his case wasn't tried in the media first. But I will tell you that there is a conservative blog out of Michigan which names the victim and from there I was able to learn quite a bit about her. Also, based on a statement that a PR person Flory had used a few months ago, I also figured out just how young his current wife is and that they have a young child.
So really - so many, many lives have been so negatively impacted in this situation. All for what?
Update re: sex offender status, from the ABJ:
"He also will become a registered sex offender. Judge Peter J. Corrigan will determine whether to classify him as a sexual predator. "
