That's why this has been released. The Dems hope that we will, once again, "eat our own".
Let's say that Tom DeLay hired his family members to run his campaign? Does he, as an independent person, have the right to hire he wants for his own campaign?
Or let's say that the "First Church of the Baptist Brethren" hire workers for their nursery services.
Do they have the right to hire who they want?
Would you be surprised that they hire those who fit their public message?
Are you saying that if the First Church of Baptist Brethren does not hire homosexuals for their nursery that they are bigots?
So you side with the ACLU on this one?
Or do you think that private enterprises should be allowed to hire those who match their message?
Well, everyone's actions are.
But that's no reason to go out and commit/support immorality.
So what would you do if you worked with a gay person? Do you ignore them?
How should we handle this? It's fine to say Santorum shouldn't hire him, but who should? And then should everyone in that company have to agree so as not to risk sending the whole lot of them to Hell? Is my whole neighborhood going to Hell because we don't kick out the gay couple?
They will always be among us, they always have been. Unless God is going to conveniently kill them all every once in a while a la Sodom, we have to live with them.
Was he looking for them?
Yep, and wish the mods would take a few of these pieces of bait, and MODERATE the "eaters"
To get the right wing fringe in a twitter.
Only the leftist bigots will think it is wrong to be a gay conservative.
But is hiring a gay supporting his lifestyle? Should we not be friends or neighbors to gays? I don't have to like the gay agenda, but if they are not running around in Greenwich Village Halloween Parade wear or openly making out, I don't care.
Random question.
How many making noise on this thread..
Have been trying to make sure Santorum loses re-election? Just curious if this is really about the subject, or if some people want him to lose so badly they'll even use a despicable practice by the Democrats to further their agenda.
Certainly on the fiscal side, but I think his daughter might have caused him to reconsider his social conservatism. But, I get that only from his silence. For all I know, he still considers homosexuality to be a terrible affliction that leads to countless deaths at very early ages. Cheney, however, did not hire his daughter. One simply loves ones children.
On the other hand, Santorum did hire his top aide. The question is what about that top aide's sexual preferences he knew when he hired him.
This is not about changing views. It's about the underlying philosophy that helps forms his views.
Jesus himself told Pilate that Judas was guilty of the "greater sin", which clearly argues against the idea that all sin is equally offensive to the Lord. There are other applicable Biblical references, but this one's kinda hard to argue against since it comes straight from the mouth of the Ultimate Authority.
For what it's worth, I'm with you in this debate. The employee's homosexuality shouldn't be disqualifying in this case at all.
Why don't you quit dancing around and say it?
You don't think people who don't run screaming into the street when they're near gays CAN be conservatives.
And again I ask you how has that changed Santorum's rhetoric.
If anything if Mr. Traynham disagreed with his employer, he would have left long ago.

"Traditional" was the descriptor he came up with after I asked if people who aren't scared to death of gays were "real, true" conservatives.
We will just have to disagree on this issue.
I suspect if it were one of Hillary's aides who had been "outed" some folks' reactions would be quite different.
As long as it's a give and take debate among FRiends, I see no reason to. But when it gets to the point of attacking fellow Freepers, that does bother me.
