1. Overt sexuality? As in what David Vitter and Larry Craig did?

[Sebastian Doyle]

4. No, I'm sure what Vitter did is totally OK with them.

Now Larry Craig's form of "wide stance tap dancing", on the other hand.....

Well, you will notice he's not with them anymore. Republican Senators like DADT as a military policy, because it's the same policy they practice themselves. Craig was fine with them...until he got caught. Then they couldn't wait to get rid of him.

2. no, like an unmarried high school girl running wild in a certain alaskan high school nt

[Ken Burch]

6. Please, stay away from that one.

The issue wasn't the girl, it was her mother's hypocrisy.

3. Prolly has visions

of them wanting uniforms like the Village People.

Please note - I am commenting on his bigotry with which I don't agree.

5. Excuse me?

Overt sexuality? What does he think the rapes in the military are about anyway?

Man's a fool.

7. I'll bet $20.00 neither of these congressional mooks in served in the armed forces.

8. It Looks Like He Did, Though

Gohmert was one of the little "gifts" former Republican majority leader Tom DeLay left us when he caused Texas' congressional delegation to be redistricted back in 2004.

I would have loved to have tagged him with the "chickenhawk" label, but I decided to check his bio before handing Gohmert his white feathers. Gohmert had served in the Army before he became a congressional representative.

We'll just have to hope that he gets redistricted into something much less congenial for his reactionary views.

9. These people are just homophobes...

who think they might slip up and start smoking pole. Men in general are not used to being hit on in an agressive straight forward fashion. I listened to a guy talk about how it creeped him out to be contantly hit on by a man. My response was, "I guess you have an idea of what it must be like to be woman." Silence.

I've been hit on by gay men, its bound to happen in certain communities. It never bothered me because I know what I'm about. I get the sense that these people think that being gay is contagious. They need to get over themselves.
