Kolbe says time not right to push gay immigration rights

Gay GOP congressman is in bi-national relationship By JOSHUA LYNSEN | Jul 6, 12:38 AM

Retiring gay Congressman Jim Kolbe (R-Ariz.), who is involved in a bi-national relationship, said in an interview this week that he isn't pushing gay issues in the ongoing immigration battle on Capitol Hill because it would only add "baggage" to the debate.

"The immigration debate is so heavily laden and so fraught with so many issues that adding one like this into it is not terribly practical," said Kolbe, one of the leading congressional Republicans setting immigration policy. "It adds baggage. It doesn't help the debate."

Kolbe, who is in a relationship with a man from Panama in the United States on a temporary visa, said that opponents of allowing gay Americans to sponsor their foreign partners for immigration purposes argue against any federal legal recognition of gay couples. Kolbe declined to identify his partner.

To counter that argument, Kolbe said everyone who supports the Uniting Americans Families Act, which would allow bi-national couples to permanently live together in the United States, must call on Congress to act.

"There aren't enough people who know about this problem," said Kolbe, who has announced he will retire at the end of his current term. "It's a matter of making more people aware of it."

Oh my! This admission explains a great deal about Kolbe's atrocious voting record on immigration (pro-amnesty, anti-security, etc). It is shocking that a sitting Congressman is having a gay relationship with a foreign national. That he's a Republican is a stain on the party. The tent is a little too big when you let scumbags like Kolbe in. Now, will local or mainstream media even report this story? I doubt it.

You read gay websites, Spiff? Or just look at the pictures?

Yikes!!!

[samadams2000]

Geez what a cesspool that congress is.

"Homosexual news" tends to be heralded most and sometimes exclusively only on homosexual themed websites...

The saying "know your enemies" would most likely apply in this case...

[little jeremiah]

Good riddance to Kolbe.

An anti-Kolbe site, actually, had a link to the story. But go ahead and have your fun, Deacon.

You read Stormfront? That's where all the white supremacist news is and, it seems to me, they'd be considered enemies too.

You seem to spend all your time trashing Republicans.

When are you going to put up a thread trashing Democrats?

If I ran a supremacist agenda pinglist I would probably try to stay apprised as to what they were up to....

[DBeers]

Good riddance to Kolbe.

Yes -assuming we do not get one further left in his place...

[Spiff]

You seem to spend all your time trashing Republicans. When are you going to put up a thread trashing Democrats?

You seem to spend all of your trashing conservatives. When are you going to put up a thread or even a post trashing liberals, Deacon?

[Jameison]

"gay immigration rights"?
Groan.
What is this country coming to?
Another very strong reason to make sure that gay marriage doesn't become legal in this country.
We have too many gay people in San Francisco already, and look how San Francisco is screwed up.

[sinkspur]

You answer a question with a question.

You obviously never took high school debate.

I don't answer yours until you answer mine.

[AZBear]

Sinkspur both spiff and I think the following Democrats are bad for this country

Hillary Clinton
Bill Clinton
John Kerry
Harry Reid
and the rest of the socialist party

and Helen Thomas

I know spiff and he always bashes the party of death
Go Spiff!!!!!!!!!

[Re-electNobody]

Keep up the good work, Spiff. You post factual information and voting records that those who have opposing viewpoints are usually unable to refute in a logical manner.

[sinkspur]

Not lately. He spends his time bashing the GOP.

[raybbr]

This is pathetic. And Sinkspur, instead of trashing Kolbe and all the degenerate things he stands for, trashes the guy who posted the article.

Maybe this hits a little too close to home for the "spur sinker".

[ChuckHam]

Can you say liberal? Can you say believes every bad thing the MSM publishes about our troops? I could go on and on.
