Candidate time machine... how many people believe that Rick Perry will have a

[HysteryDiagnosis]

scandal of the sexual variety in the coming months?? I can see a couple of his rwing nutjobs who are speaking out on his behalf having one as well? Such denial, such condemnation, such crap never came out of the mouth of their supposed leader. I can see it coming, wouldn't surprise me in the least.

1. I think it could involve boots, but NOT cowboy boots.

2. In Texas, it's well known that he used to have a boyfriend.

I don't have a link at the moment, but you can find some of the hush hush whisper whisper on the interwebz...

4. No.... I mean a girlfriend, a typical extramarital affair.... you know, the kind of thing they

so loudly condemn and then find themselves wrapped up in one.

3. Something like this?

5. Even though I'm not a member of the LGBT community I feel very

uncomfortable that speculating whether someone is gay or not is used as some kind of threat. In the case of Marcus Bachmann who spouts one thing and "appears" to be the opposite, I don't know, and neither does anyone else. I guess what I'm trying to say is that with all of the advances the community has enjoyed lately, speculation seems to be some sort of a "threat." I realize these guys spew a lot of anti this and anti that and that's their gig, I'd just feel better about actually speculating on their inability for office for other reasons. If he's gay, fine. Speculating about it muddies the waters IMO...

6. If my OP infers some sort of gay straight issue then I need to edit it asap, is that how it

is coming across????

[monmouth]

7. No, not at all. What I do see a lot though is the question and/or

inference that someone is gay. I just think it should no longer be an issue. Your OP is fine, it just reminded me of my thoughts on it...

8. Edited OP to make it abundantly clear what I was alluding to.... thanks for clearing that

up btw... I am only targeting the hypocrisy of those who point fingers and condemn others for things they will probably be found involved in sooner or later. I had forgotten about the crap the holy men were saying, now it is coming together.

9. I think you are missing something here...

Rick Perry ALREADY HAS "a scandal of the sexual variety."

It just happens to be a sexual scandal involving a male staffer, and his wife was going to divorce him because of his affair. Personally, I don't see the gay aspect of it as being as important as the affair aspect of it. However, Perry's staunch anti-gay attitude does add a layer of hypocrisy, if these rumors are true.

Start here, for a random sample of the latest (this has been going on for years now):

10. My bad, didn't know a thing about it. Too busy trying to reinvent the universe most of

the time. Thanks for the headsup.
