he First Openly-Bisexual Governor in America
Tea Party News Network ^ | February 13, 2015 | Greg Campbell

As Oregon’s Democrat governor, John Kitzhaber, resigns in disgrace amidst a slew of scandals involving ethics and financial improprieties, the likely successor will be Oregon’s Secretary of State, Kate Brown.

Kitzhaber has resigned and his resignation takes effect on the 18th of February. Brown, a Democrat, is the likely successor as Oregon holds no Lieutenant Governor position and the responsibility falls upon Brown.

Brown is married to Dan Little, but has been open about her bisexuality and she will be the first openly-bisexual governor in U.S. history.

Oregon remains a state divided; while the Beaver State is known for hipsters and liberalism, the state is very much divided as the majority of the state is Republican-leaning, while the larger population centers of Portland and Eugene are extremely liberal and produce high voter turnouts.

Brown’s role as secretary of state has been relatively uneventful. However, prior to her job as secretary of state, Brown was a state representative and crusaded for increased scrutiny of campaign contributions, a signal that the new governor might concern herself with one of the biggest threats to Democrat strongholds: increased freedom for campaign contributors.

Brown will likely tout the need for transparency after Kitzhaber’s resignation. On Thursday, the Department of Administrative Services confirmed that Kitzhaber has requested that emails to and from his office be destroyed. The DAS has refused to honor the request.

Still, Brown is not without her own scandals. The Washington Post reports

Even as Kitzhaber’s personal troubles were mounting late last month, she was facing questions about having written to the FCC endorsing Comcast’s merger with Time Warner Cable after having received campaign contributions from Comcast — a letter that was reportedly written in large part by a Comcast lobbyist. Comcast has given Brown $9,500 since 2009, according the National Institute of Money in State Politics.

Expect that to come up when she succeeds Kitzhaber.

Whether Brown will simply be a governor who happens to be bisexual or whether she will be a crusader for a pro-homosexual agenda is yet to be seen; Oregon is one of the majority of states who passed a voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage, but in cooperation with activist courts, has all-but disregarded the voter-approved protection of traditional marriage.

Sounds to me as if Brown is also ethically challenged when it comes to dollars she has little sense.

Although there are a few exceptions, in general, politicians are people who get off on bossing people around, and who expect to get rich by inappropriately using the influence of their office.

In a decent society, the role of government would be severely limited, so that the jerks who become politicians would have a reduced chance to achieve their goals.

I think I threw up a little in my mouth.

Why do I care?

I am tired of people whose sexuality defines their life. Get over it and leave me the hell alone, I don’t care!

Exactly. Since when did sodomy become part of someone’s identity?

There’s homosexual acts, but there’s no “homosexuals”. Just men and women.

No shame, no values, no integrity, no morality, no anything. How about the first governor who believe in bestiality, or murder? Why would that be wrong? Licentiousness is not self-vindicating.

We, Kemo Sabe?

Me thinks not.

The Low Information Voters gave us this Obozo mess.

We adults need to straighten things out in 2016.

My wife just said about the same.
But it shed’s light on why Kitz the Crat was thrown overboard. Kate Brown will be held up and out in 2016. Someone should bake a cake.....

Kate Brown (politician)
She earned a B.A. in Environmental Conservation with a certificate in Women’s Studies from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and a law degree and certificate in Environmental Law from the Northwestern School of Law at Lewis and Clark College.

Sounds like a real Lefty, doesn't she?

I have no idea who those people are. Then again, I don't really care who those people are. I'll take your word they are important, but like to bugger other men.

Yup. Jim McGreevey. He was brought down spaining his ankle while with some guy named Gabriel I think. Happened at Cape Cod. I know people who were on his detail. I was told by person I trust, like a brother, after the publicity, all of the inner circle knew about that he liked dudes. The wife freaked because the secret got out. She was pissed he was careless. Supposedly, slapped him around for the embarrassment.

I remember the press conference and his announcement “I am a gay American”. His pop, USMC looked like he just wanted disappear.

She knew the whole time.
