Aren’t there pro gay groups who seek to “out” republicans?

[screaminsunshine]

Lickers.

[apillar]

If they “outed” light in the loafers Lindsey, then good. Maybe we’ll have a better chance of getting rid of the RINO in the republican primary next time he’s up for reelection.

[stilloftyhenight]

I suspect that Lindsay’s lifestyle might be far more heinous than merely being gay.

There was a discussion of Graham’s how do you say “proclivities” today on FR - linking to a blog. It got up to 50 hits, and then got pulled. In this case, this is a REAL, PUBLISHED STORY, and thus should not get pulled.

But I am especially happy to see Miss Kagen finally being outed. To me it’s CRITICAL to know something of the personal lives of people going on to the court...simply because if they don’t have kids, then it’s reasonable that they would be MUCH LESS CONCERNED about how this country looks in 50 years, than if they had kids (and that affects immigration law, debt, and overall economic decisions). I also worry about blackmail - but in Miss Kagen’s case, it could only help moderate her decisions.

This story is example 3,465 of why gays should not be allowed into the military.

Well, he sold out for some reason. I don’t care if he’s gay...it would be nice if he were honest...about anything.

Geez it was a “secret”? To who?

[matthew fuller]

"The influence of Christian conservatives is on the wane and few among their number view the personal sexual conduct of an individual - even if they consider it immoral - as a disqualifier for high public office. "

Oh, really?

[wardaddy]

I don’t agree with William on this....I guess I’m ambivalent.

I often side with Gheen to be fair but I’m not sure that calling out Graham helps ..

[wardaddy]

btw...don’t wish to dig up molding bones but Bill Gheen is a bit of a sore spot on this forum sorta like a little Jewish woman once was 10 years ago.

I don’t want to get blasted with collateral shelling again but most folks here after 2005 or so missed all the fun.

Amnesty used to be a blood sport here

Graham's crime in Gheen's eyes is that he favours immigration reform - and is (bear with me here) "trying to sell out your own countrymen" for fear of his true sexuality being revealed.

And here I thought it was because Graham's a yellow bellied liberal. But this makes perfect sense. Still, whatshisface from Idaho, Larry Craig had the same issue and he managed to stay one of the most consistently conservative Senators in the Congress, especially on gun rights and the 2nd Amendment. But when he got busted soliciting an undercover cop in an airport mens room, his house of cards collapsed.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I sincerely wish that people like Lindsey Graham and Larry Craig would just out themselves, get it over with, as it were. I’m aware of the potentially ruinous effect that this act would have on their lives, but I, for one, would respect them for it.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks BarnacleCenturion for the topic and neverdem for the ping.

William Gheen, head of Americans for Legal Immigration, demanded that the Senator "tell people about your alternative lifestyle and your homosexuality". Graham's crime in Gheen's eyes is that he favours immigration reform

Oh, a right wing conspiracy is to blame. I wondered why the Telegraph...

[rmlew]

That's the Anita Dunn, by the way, who is the Democratic operative and former Obama aide advising David Cameron during the British election debates - a role that might leave her open to suspicions of being a Left-wing saboteur who has infiltrated the Tories.

I knew Cameron was a wet Tory but did not realize how evil he is. The Torys have betrayed their country with this man.
