Rogers rumored to be on the verge of outing Graham & McConnell. |
|
I just hear thin on Mike Malloy's show. He was talking about Craig and he said he's heard it's not over for the Pubs. Rumor has it that Rogers is preparing to out Graham of SC as being gay, and McConnell for being discharged from the military for fondeling a man's ........
I about choked! On several shows tonight they were talking about how upset the Pubs were with the damage that has been done to their Party and that Shrub considers this week as the political week from hell.
I really hate to be vindictive, but I hope the rumor is right! They put BC through hell for 8 f'ing years! I want to see the last few years of their entire party suffer BIG TIME!

4. NO! And I understand he's been very careful to make sure they don't GET OUT! |
|
Remember all the flack Kerry took about not releasing his military records? They're private unless the owner releases them.

12. If you remember, rove sent clerks to the NARA |
|
to take all the records off the shelves. It is hard to tell what they took. They had to be looking for specific information. Because what they took was not classified. And they won't return it. Who knows..they might have been looking for stuff like that.

14. I just googled and it seems old Mitch has refused access to his Military discharge info. There's |
|
been a FOIA request filed for them. I have no idea if someone actually got them though. Maybe Mike Rogers did??? HOPEFULLY, Mike has PROOF of these accusations and isn't just releasing the stories because he has h\"heard" McConnell and Graham are gay. I thought it was an open secret in DC that Graham is gay?

18. Most Republicans are not gay. |
|
But when the overall few gays ones are outed it seems to be a big deal, rendering the Left to go apoplectic and assume that almost ALL Republicans are gay.
This has gotten old and tired.

25. Of course not all Pubs are gay, but it's the same thing with any |
|
other group. Cops are all viewed dirty (at least by some) because some of the bad ones are exposed. All NRA members are deemed to be crazy gun toteing AHs because a few are.
If the Pubs, as a Party, insist on keeping the total anti gay agenda as part of their Party platform, they better keep their own noses squeeky clean or they will suffer the pain of total distrust of the Party!

rights under the law. These men, while engaging in homosexual sex or show deviant sexuality themselves and publically condemn others for doing the same while earning a salary paid by the taxes of those same condemned people, is what's wrong. Don't you get it? Say no to hate and hypocrasy, stupid.

31. Which McConnell? Smarmy Ass Mitch McConnell, Senator from KY |
|
or that other McConnell that Chucklenuts appointed?
I'm not getting my hopes up but I sure would laugh my ass off if it is Mean Mitch - his "base" in Kentucky just wouldn't stand still for that. His bought and paid for Governor, Ernie Fletcher, was found in the middle of a Republican political hiring scandal so he threw him overboard in the last primary and supported Anne Northup (defeated in Nov. 06 by John Yarmuth - yay!) and she lost. Add up losing the Senate, his candidates going down in flames, the horrible, terrible year for the GOP (Grand Old Perverts) and Mitch's karma is biting him in the ass right now. Add up his wife's own problems in the Dept of Labor and they both need to retire.
Puhleeeze let it be Mitch McConnell. /dream off

54. Ain't that America... |
|
The one good thing about outing gay politicians who play to a hate-agenda base is that this base hopefully will be so disgusted that they'll be discouraged from voting. And the independents will see the hypocrisy -- along with all the other horrific things the Bush branch of the repukes has brought to the American people and will vote against repukes.
I get so sick of American attitudes -- they certainly don't match Americans' behaviors.
I've thought for a while that Ralph Reed was gay. As far as the "why" -- he just sets my gaydar off. I assume I can be straight and still have gaydar if gays can gay and also be breeders.

Sorry, but this mix-up is very offensive to me. Arthur Ashe was the wonderful tennis player who died in 1993 from transfusion-transmission of HIV after quadruple bypass surgery in 1979.
I'm sure this was innocent, but Arthur Ashe is a hero to many. Please correct!
Victor Ashe was the former mayor of Knoxville, Tn and a crony of Bush*.

If this is true, then Mitch is the top HYPOCRITE alive. He used the addition of a gay blasting to the ballot in Kentucky to save the seat in the Senate for PUGnacious, brainless Bunning. Mitch is up for re-election in '08. Oh, yes, please let it be true.
