I think Freeperfromnj was saying that he or she did not know that McCain called the Swift Boat Veterans liars.
If Freeperfromnj was actually saying that he or she would lose respect for Giuliani for staying in the home of someone who was gay...that kind of attitude would be seen by most Republicans as so "off" that it would only help Giuliani in the primaries.
I actually didn't mention McCain or the Swift Boat guys. I would not support McCain unless he somehow becomes the party's last resort. Anything to keep the rats from getting back into power. Fighting the war on terror trumps all other issues for me. And I wouldn't lose respect for Rudy for temporarily staying in the home of gay guys while waiting for his home to be ready. When the issue was first brought up it was framed a bit differently -- "shacking up with gay guys" to be exact. That leaves a totally different impression.
