Ok, let me see if I can come down to your level, and help you to understand....
I am posting articles about gay or alleged gay Republicans, to further illustrate the hypocrisy displayed by Republicans, in general, that they hold the moral 'high ground" , and that they never do anything wrong, and are not guilty of any or all wrong doing.
Are there gay Democrats? Of course. Are some in "high profile positions"? Of course. Have some been caught doing wrong. Of course. Have some been caught doing wrong, recently? Well, not so recently. Remember, we're talking about "high profile cases"....Oh, well, I guess not....
What about the Republicans...oh well, let's see there's Foley, U.S. Representative
The Crime: Sending sexually laced, gramatically challenged instant messages and e-mails to teenaged boys in the Congressional page program for more than 10 years.
The Hypocrisy: Chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children. One of the foremost opponents of child pornography in the Senate.
The Quote: ?get a ruler and measure it for me?
...oh that was so long ago..and forgotten (well, it wasn't so long ago, that it impacted the mid-term elections, which turned the tide in favor of Democrats) Aaron stop! You're not playing fair!
Then there was Ted Haggard, Leader of the National Association of Evangelicals...
who seemingly had a mea culpa..
The Crime: Paying male prostitutes for sex and snorting crystal meth.
The Hypocrisy: A powerful force in the evangelical movement, Haggard participated in weekly meetings with President George Bush and top advisors where he gave spiritual advice. He taught that homosexuality was an abomination and actively lobbied against gay rights.
The Quote: ?I did not have a homosexual relationship with a man in Denver.?
Aaron quit! That doesn't even count.
Then there was Bob Allen, member of the Florida House of Representatives
Florida Chairman of John McCain?s Presidential Campaign
The Crime: Offering an undercover cop $20 to allow Allen to blow him in a men?s room in a public park. After being arrested, Allen tried to explain that he only offered to blow the cop because the cop was a ?burly black man? and he ?didn?t want to become a statistic.?
The Hypocrisy: Allen was one of 21 Florida legislators to sign Gov. Jeb Bush?s friend-of-the-court brief supporting the state?s ban on gays adopting children, and he co-sponsored an unsuccessful bill that would have enhanced penalties for ?offenses involving unnatural and lascivious acts? such as indecent exposure.
The Quote: ?I certainly wasn?t there to have sex with anybody and certainly wasn?t there to exchange money for it.?
Then there was Craig, U.S. Senator
Senate Liason for Mitt Romney?s Presidential Campaign
The Crime: Soliciting sex from an undercover cop in an airport bathroom
The Hypocrisy: Craig twice voted against adding the words ?sexual orientation? to the federal hate crimes law. Craig also voted to give states the right to refuse to recognize gay marriage?a right they already had, but the Senator wanted to really, really prove he didn?t like gay people.
The Quote: ?I am not gay, I don?t do these kinds of things.?
.
....Aaron stop! You're just taking advantage of a bad situation...Craig was railroaded...and he just may come out of this unscathed.
Bad Aaron!
