He seems to have made a career out of making a big deal out of being a fruit.
He’s more liberal than any RINO currently in Congress. He’d probably compare to Connie Morella, I’d just as soon that no one that liberal was even allowed in the party, whether a fag or not.
Maybe if he were running in Morella’s old district, filled with government workers, where I think Bush got about a third of the vote in 2000, and no R but a rank liberal RINO could win, instead of a district where Romney got 43%, then maybe it would ‘okay’. The 9th could elect a Scott Brown, at least.
His vote for Speaker is about the only use he’d have (besides embarrassing MA rats by finally taking a seat from them), balanced against lending an “R” co-sponsor to every piece of queertastic legislation. I’m glad I don’t live in that district and have to consider whether I could bring myself to vote for him. I basically don’t give a crap whether he wins or not, either way the incumbent will need to go in 2016.
Hmm looks like I slightly underestimated the GOP vote in Morella’s old pre-2002 district. Gore got 60%, factor in Nader and Bush must have got 36-38% of the vote. Still I doubt any Republican much more conservative (or any less personally popular) than Morella would have had a chance.
