Where's the Demonrat list?

[longtermmemmory]

I want to know because quite frankly I think it is a problem to have a homosexual in public office.

It is easy a person who is on this list need only say they are not a homosexual. The end.

If someone is falsly on the list they they should sue the publisher for impuning their character.

It Tom Cruise can sue everyone and their brother in law for accusing him of being a homosexual, then so should these people force the accuser to prove the list. Of course then Barbara Mikulski gets to go on the stand and swear UNDER OATH she is not a homosexual.

..you are not That new. I suspect that many on FR are willing to aknowledge that that adults make choices (or whatever) and they will accept gays as friends and co-workers and as parts of their families

Perhaps not that new, but I was really unaware how many pro-homosexuals are here in FR. That is definitely NEW to me. I also did not know about Allens' alledged connections to our friends... I thought he was a "full fledge" conservative.

Buy hey, anyone has the right to like or support homosexuals, just as I have the right to dislike them. That is fair, isn't it?

Also, the word HYPOCRACY is thrown a lot around here from all sides. Well, I think this list should be out in the open, so we can stamp the hypocrisy out right.

[longtermmemmory]

the list is bipartisan.

the homosexuals covering for each other is also bi partisan.

The fact is homosexuals protected each other from any investigations by covering for each other.

I want to know why was Nancy Pelosi in the loop with knowledge of the IMs?

"what about those GOPers who are gay and who serve a party that is anti-gay?"

See, that's the problem with Democrats. Nobody is a person or individual. Your only value is as it relates to the group you're a part of. All gays must vote Democrat, because all gays must believe in gay marriage. All African-Americans must be Democrats, becasue all minorities believe in affirmative action, etc. ...And they say we stereotype people.

There are two options regarding "The List"....pretend that it won't get published or distributed somehow - or put it up front.

Well, IF it hadn't already come out, it will now. LOL You KNOW the losers over at the RATS site read FR.

[rface]

yep - we're all a bunch of homo lovers here.

It's funny - I didn't expect to see YOU here.

(you are supposed to laugh now)

[cripplecreek]

I bet most on FR would not "shun" anybody for merely being gay....."just don't get in my face about it"

That's exactly it. I had two lesbian teachers, one in elementary school and the other in high school. Both were the same teachers who taught my parents and they were good teachers who cared about their students and only wanted them to learn. Their sexuality didn't enter into the school in any way other than whispered rumors. The gay agenda is a completely left wing creation only about 20 years old.

I am not going to run away from it nor am I going to vilify those on "The List" - (unless they are involved in Foley types of behaviour).

That's because you are more interested in PR (Personal Responsibility) than in PC (Political Correctness). It's as it should be, but you're never going to convince a Democrat. Ever. They would have to give up on every one of their beliefs to make it so.

"Liberal gays loathe gay republicans like no other."

Agree, although I'd add African-American Republicans to that list.

[rface]

it's not like the don't have copies of "The List" ready to go - they just want to intimidate with their newest weapon ... screw 'em

They better leave our homos alone.

[ElPatriota]

yep - we're all a bunch of homo lovers here.

I don't know what you mean by "lovers." Being Pro-homosexual does not mean you are necessarily a homo... it just means you support them for whatever reasons. or not?

I have my reasons why I don not support homosexuals or homosexuality.

[longtermmemmory]

The list is for CLOSETED homosexuals.

The homosexual activists want to eliminate cover for homosexuals to be able to vote for conservative issues.

For example Foley performed the truly unforgivable sin of voting FOR the marriage amendment. That upset homosexual far more that their faux upset over sexual inuendo with children.

I think lesbians are often titilating, aren't they?

[sportutegrl]

I find it extremely hard to believe that most of the names listed are Republicans, while we're at it... let out all the Dims too!

I think that is the point of the list -- to hurt Republicans. This will backfire against the Dems big time. The public will see this as a dirty trick, a democrat ugly plan to 'out' Republicans. It is beneath contempt. That is why Pelosi doesn't want it to get out.

[cripplecreek]

I think lesbians are often titilating, aren't they?

Not the ones I know.

[RegulatorCountry]

There are many different kinds of conservatives, ElPatriota. The conservatives who take a live-and-let-live stance on homosexuals are more in the libertarian camp. All conservatives find liberal attempts at forcing acceptance of homosexuality, by attacking religion and squelching free speech in order to demonstrate "tolerance" of homosexuals, to be anathema. It's the very opposite of what any conservative, in any camp, would stand for.

What we have here is a very audacious attempt at driving a wedge between key camps or voting blocs who support Republicans. Evangelicals and other staunch values voters are supposed to react with horror and abandon the party, because some Republicans do not immediately reject homosexuals for employment on their staff on purely moral grounds. Stop and think about what is at stake, though. Putting the group back into power, that sees absolutely nothing wrong with what Mark Foley did, other than the fact that he didn't openly embrace his homosexuality and he was a Republican, will be far worse.

[sportutegrl]

Maybe we could make a Free Republic 'list'.

[GoLightly]

A link to it has been posted.

From the article: Some family value conservatives are suggesting it is.

Who & where? All I've seen is stuff from leftists saying that family value conservatives think this way.

[rface]

we all have our reasons for everything we do and believe.

Because I don't hate every homo doesn't mean I approve of their life-style ... because I don't, but I am not going to hate every person I meet because I don't approve of how they live thier lives ....

I don't hate drunks, but I don't approve. I don't hate liberals, but I think they are misguided. I don't hate loudmouthed a**holes (well, that's getting close)....
