“Maybe Graham was voting like an uber RINO so much was because he was being blackmailed?”
That actually makes the most sense. Remember, it wasn’t that long ago that Graham was part of the House team trying to remove Clinton from office...he was far from the flaming liberal that he is now.
...and then he changed. Hmmm. That’s why these guys need to be outed - I could care less if they’re gay (other than if they are nominated for the courts), but I want to be sure that they’re not being blackmailed because of their sexual preference.
You people *DO* know the Clintons copied a lot of FBI files, dontcha???
I sure as heck could.
The entire British MI-6/Philby ring was recruited in Cambridge because they were all gay, by an as-yet-unidentified, probably-gay-himself NKVD recruiter on faculty.
Some U.S. military and atomic spies were recruited through homosexual contacts and "the Life" -- Whittaker Chambers was gay.
High-status Anglo-American gays were a major target of Cheka/NKVD/KGB recruiting for sixty years. And it isn't important that these guys were gay?
Or how would you feel about Sen. Graham voting on a nomination of Kevin Jennings (lately of GLSEN, a.k.a. "we're coming to get your kids") for Secretary of Education? Or the FBI?
It matters just a whole bunch -- and the key word is "alienation", which would still be on the table whether you were "reconciling" and "tolerant" or not.
