This guy looks like a total fool..

I do however believe a gay man or most likely a gay woman could win a Republican primary...if they had a strong passion for important issues and didnt spend much time talking about homosexuality. If they didnt build their campaign around their lifestyle, someone could pull it off.

the worst most vicious homophobia they would face would come from the left.

Most people never stop to think about where the old phrase “Caught with a dead girl or a live boy” came from. It came from Politicians being caught with dead girls and live (IE Homosexual) ‘boys’.

The incentive for a closeted or even open homosexual to give in to blackmail is myriad. Thats why Sec clearances were only given to the most ‘stable’ and upstanding - once upon a time. One practically had to out-straight and narrow the Pope to get one. Today, they are seemingly given for the opposite - and so you get compromised/compromisable people in positions they ought not be in.

By design.

Yeah. I understand why it was the way it was. The potential for international incidents and black mail was very real.

and still now, it would have to be someone very well grounded and vetted to ever gain trust of primary voters in our party.

Babeu has actually been tough on crime and strong on illegal immigration.

Yes, and many freepers here spoke highly of him and the job he was doing -- fighting illegal immigration and fighting crime on the border.

But now they find out he is gay, and suddenly he is the enemy.

I don't understand people here sometimes. The man is still the same guy he was last week.

But that’s just it...HOW can you give that trust to someone who makes such bad choices?

In a world where a single picture (see Anthony Weiner) can destroy a career, why on earth have a candidate for political predisposed to blackmail over his sexuality?

Homosexuality did not stop being a risk to national security, militarily or in the civilian political world just because of ‘PC’. Sure there are and have always been homosexuals in both. And look at Bradley Manning and the hell his little snit fit wrought. Over homosexuality.

They need help, not elected positions. We cannot afford the risk. It colors their thinking on everything.

To be clear, I do not ‘hate’ homosexuals. I just do not want them in charge. We currently live in a world where they are. How’s that working out for the planet? Not well IMO.

We did not know who he “was” last week. He hid that from us.

Do you continue to trust people that hide things of such import from you? I don’t.

“Is that the Sheriff that blamed Sarah Palin for the Tucson shooting?”

NO, That is Clarence Dupnik ( Stupnik, Loopdik, etc.) of Pima County (Tucson).

I was a huge Babeu fan and thought he was an up and coming Conservative star. I don't care that he gay; however, I have a big problem with some of the texts he sent to his boyfriend and the pictures he posted on the Gay websites. There is a reported picture of him naked with an erection. I now question his judgment as an elected official and whether or not he was Conservative in name only.

So how does one 'fight' invading illegals, yet, at the same time have an illegal gay sex partner. Please dont' tell me this is a 'love story'. AND if the reports are true he 'cheated' on his illegal lover. AND you do not understand people here sometimes.... Geeeeze it was the 'bain-washed' Romney crew that bashed Newt for having "ethical" issues. Even old Lord McCain is NOW worried about 'dirty' campaigns....

Sheriff Babeu stated that the whole article was untrue; only fact was true that he is gay.

His mistake was not coming out in the first place; all this BS in the leftist media could have been avoided. He is a conservative and has a great record as Pinal County Sheriff.

So there was/is NO illegal gay boyfriend? That word 'conservative' is next on the platform to get perverted.

Have you seen the picture or the texts? This was an article in a liberal rag.

Boyfriend is a Mexican national; no evidence that he is an illegal.

No, that would be the liberal, Dupnick.

“He is just another corrupt queer cop.”

The extortion allegation is from a story in Phoenix New Times, a hippie “alternative” free paper. I didn’t know that this rich source of pot ads and local restaurant reviews had suddenly become holy writ among Republicans.
