THE OUTING
2006-10-13
You think politics is filthy? You don't know the half of it if you haven't heard of "The List," which you probably haven't because this recent saga of scum isn't apparently worthy of widespread media notice and editorial outrage.

The List is a roster of gay Republican congressional staffers that has circulated around Washington, D.C., since former Rep. Mark Foley's exit. It includes chiefs of staff, press secretaries and communications directors who work for GOP lawmakers such as Bill Frist, George Allen, Mitch McConnell, Rick Santorum and Henry Hyde. List recipients include the social-conservative arm of the vast right-wing conspiracy: the Christian Coalition, the Southern Baptist Convention, Focus on the Family and so on.

But, lo, members of the religious right are not the ones outing gay GOP staffers or poking into the private lives of people working for Republicans. If they were, The List would be a major issue right now.

#16  Militant homosexuals probably do more damage to their own cause than any other internal faction. Sort of like Pat Robertson for the republicans, except wearing assless chaps.

#15  "the news that consenting adults are consenting to different things than I in the privacy of their own bedroom isn't going to change my vote"

Nor mine, TW, but the thing is, it doesn't stop at the bedroom. They're trying to shove it down our throats....no pun intended.

#14  Can't decide whether this a circular firing squad or a circle jerk. ed - lol!!

I don't care what consenting adults decide to do in the privacy of their homes. What's making me really sick of (activist) gay people is their constant need to tell us what their sexual preferences are and demand that we say, "yeah, thanks for sharing, you're great, you're really special, more sensitive, more knowing and just an all around better person than me because you do that".

#13  But I don't care, and the news that consenting adults are consenting to different things than I in the privacy of their own bedroom isn't going to change my vote... except that I'm determined to vote against the kind of people that feel the need to reveal embarrassing but legal personal secrets. What asses these List-ers are!

#2  You know the Left - among other Waffle-ist premises, America = Amerika + America = Amerikan Socialism must rule the world and future OWG, ergo America = Amerika is the only one that has to give up its sovereignty, freedoms, and economy, NESSARILY = VOLUNTARILY/UNILATER = FORCIBLY. The Ultra/Far/Radical Left + Anarchists-Socialists-Governmentists will protect Amer's Alternatists-Hedonists, etc. THE WAY STALIN-MAO DID [NOT]. Apparently when Der Waffen ReichSoviet WeldStaatFrauCommintern HILLARY said that the Gummermint will give things to the people before taking same away from the people, the Gays-Lesbians + Hollywierd, etal. thought it didn't apply to them.

#1  The real bigots are these fools who think that Christans aren't sinners and aren't forgivers. The only damage they cause is to themselves and, possibly, the donks like Corn.
