Many gay conservatives (fiscal at least) find a home behind the scenes as consultants. I was wondering if that was a possible source of the rumors, that friendship.

This is my take on the Perry is gay rumors: It's partly the liberals trying to mock him, it's partly people making fun of his vanity and always appearing to have every hair in place (aka Governor Hairy), and some of it is to poke fun at Texas A&M and Perry's days as a cheerleader, or "Yell Leader" as they are called.

People in Texas like to poke fun at other Texas universities - Aggie jokes are basically Pollack jokes with the Aggie switched with a Pollack, etc. Somewhere along the way you have some people who take all of that and try and wrap it all up into one package and present it as Perry being gay. The other day Cincinatus' Wife or somebody else posted an article from one of the main people who are behind the drive to label Perry as a homosexual, without realizing that the article was from somebody who pushes the Perry = gay agenda and that the article was meant to bring the rumors back up in a subtle way.

Perry has done a lot of sleazy things for his friends, he's pushed a pro-illegal immigrant stance for the better part of a decade partly due to his richest donor, and has done many things to piss conservatives in Texas off, including myself, but he is not gay. If he were gay, we would have already seen photos and have actual eyewitness accounts, because Perry has been living in Austin for nearly 20 years and it would not have stayed hidden.

As everybody must know by now Google.com has ways to control the pictorial presentation of any politician.

Where there's a suggestion a candidate may be light in the loafers they can select to show only the pictures of sublime domesticity and meetings with young women on the beach. Fur shur they will suppress the pictures of the candidate with men's swim teams, guys in speedos, all male parties and the like (they did that for Coons in Delaware BTW).

Or, if Google.com doesn't like a candidate, they might show 5 pages of "candidate head shots" before the first picture of a woman shows up.

Barney Frank, BTW, a well known homosexual, goes only 3 pages before a woman shows up!

Once I'd figured out that Google.com can control what pictures get revealed on the internet, I realized that such evaluations (how many guys, how many women, who has clothes on, who is nekkid, are there kids in there) are probably pretty useless except to this extent ~ that what Google.com wants you to see will help leftwingtard homosexual candidates, and hurt Republican heterosexual candidates.

That's their corporate bias!

Rick's collection is almost all headshots of him, and that goes on for 5 pages! I don't think the gay blades at Google.com like Rick very much at all!

What I’ve read regarding Perry has been somewhat disturbing, but not being Texan I don’t have firsthand knowledge. I see what Texans have posted here, regarding illegal immigration and that weird attempted landgrab via eminent domain for the TTC, and those two alone set me on edge. Then, I see “evangelicals” urging Perry to run, a huge prayer vigil with him as apparent centerpiece ... it’s discomfiting, to say the least. Then, there are the gay rumors lurking about.

If he’s the force to be reckoned with that some purport him to be, he needs to have a thorough public vetting much as Sarah Palin has had. Air it. I don’t want another ringer sliding in there, too much is at stake. My heart is with Sarah, but there may be need for a backup candidate. I hope not, but it’s possible.
