I’m no fan of Sicko DeMaio, but he’d be far better than the RAT Peters on economic issues. And given that the district isn’t exactly a hotbed of conservatism (Romney was held to 45.7% in the CD), it would be very risky to reelect Peters in the faint hopes that in 2016 (a presidential year) we’d be able to get a conservative Republican to finish in the top two in the jungle primary and then beat Peters one-on-one on Election Day. So if I lived in that district I’d hold my nose and vote for DeMaio, but I wouldn’t send him a dime (let him fundraise from his Log Cabin pals).
Yeah.
Unlike with Tisei, who seems to be worse than Connie Morella, I don’t think it’s debatable as to whether DeMaio losing would be for the best, just cause he’s homosexual. I backed the conservative that ran who didn’t have a chance but some people were for the heterosexual RINO with identical issue positions to DeMaio, that was dumb, that fellow was less electable than DeMaio, not being a popular councilman.
Sexual harassment claims against DeMaio.
Reminds of what happened to allegedly closeted Il State. Treasurer Rutherford, who could have been the gubernatorial nominee. As I recall be was practically accused of attempted rape of an ugly bald guy who happened to be a democrat activist.
