A sheriff seeking the GOP nomination for an Arizona congressional seat was forced to confirm he is gay Saturday and resigned from presidential hopeful Mitt Romney's Arizona committee amid allegations of misconduct made by a man with whom he previously had a relationship.
Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu denied claims he tried to threaten the man, a Mexican immigrant and a former campaign volunteer, with deportation if their past relationship was made public. The man's allegations were first published Friday in The New Times, a Phoenix alternative weekly magazine.
Babeu, a first-term sheriff who has risen to national prominence with his strong opposition to illegal immigration and smuggling, said the accusations were an attempt to hurt his political career.
He vowed to continue his campaign in Arizona's rural western 4th Congressional District seat, but said he had called presidential candidate Mitt Romney's staff to say he would step down from his post as state campaign co-chair.

The sheriff is a lying fag with a flaming gay lifestyle.
Apparently you are okay with that.
And you think all others must agree with you.
Tells me all I ever need to know about you.

Hildy, I totally agree with you on Ron Gould. That man should be running for president. And I totally disagree with you about not caring what he does in private...because he is NOT doing it in private. As I said above...
“If this very scenario does not spell out in 50 foot letters exactly WHY closeted/Homosexual GOP and even DEM members are a problem, I am not sure what does.
Think maybe there are a few at the congress/Senate level and perhaps blackmail is the reason they are so quick to roll over to Dem/Lib demands?”
Now since I’m your down-river Topock neighbor and fellow right-winger, though we may not always agree here on FR, I would ask that in the future, you give the above statement of fact due consideration in the party’s future dealings on this issue.
It’s really quite simple.
You stand foursquare behind a gay man.
Good on ya.
Now, about the issue. Obviously he's not doing it in private now that it's hit the fan. Very very reckless, and that's the problem I have with it. I don't know if he can recover from it, frankly. Which makes me happy because of Ron. I'm just being honest. Here's another part of the story that I don't get. Here's a Sheriff who's claim to fame is his hawkish stand on illegal immigration. And he's having an intimate relationship with a young hispanic male who (he says) is here on a visa? Psychiatrists would have a field day! The whole thing is sordid and I get a kick out of them blaming his opponents for this. Nobody is going to buy it. The next few months will be interesting to watch.
Come by and visit me! Come to campaign office in Bullhead City, I'd love to meet you in person.

So do you. In illegal alien to boot. LOL
Jose says he’s here on a visa? I guess Babeu had no reason to think Jose was an illegal alien.
No. Your sheriff is unworthy even if he never knew the mexican at all. The mexican is incidental to your homosexual friend’s life of deception - a life thaat you embrace.
I got your true agenda from your last post. It was unnecessary to reiterate it. Your problem is that he’s gay. You don’t care that the accusations come from a jilted lover or a far-left rag. You don’t care that the “evidence” amounts to nothing at all. I got that.
Cute. Not surprising that you would attempt a baseless smear of me given how you stand four square behind other people's baseless smears. LOL
I see that you're stuttering too. Got something caught in your throat?
You think deception is good (the sheriff is a lifelong master of deception, but you will defend him no matter what).
I think its bad (if mexican is lying, thats bad too).
You think its good for a sheriff to advertise the size of his genitals and what kind of homosexual activity he likes.
I think its bad.
I haven't defended him at all I have pointed out that the accusations against him have no evidence to back them up. And that you don't care about that.
I think its bad (if mexican is lying, thats bad too).
But it doesn't matter if the Mexican is lying, to you, because your problem is that Babeu is gay not anything else. I already got that.

No, I don't and I never said anything about that. Your only chance is to deflect now to a subject I never addressed.
I think its bad.
'Think' is an inappropriate verb to use when describing your mental processes.
