The Congressman and his "Beard"?.
Semper Fi
If this gets out, he's toast. Paging the Blackwell campaign...
Strickland is Gay Ping!
The longer I live, the more I believe that the government of this country is run through with nothing but reprobates.

Unless Strickland was to confess this just looks like dirty politics. I don't like the Foley thing being hung over some possibly gay but conservative republicans, let alone the entire party, and I don't like it on the flipside by republicans against democrats.
Rumours in the waning days of a campaign as a tactic, irregardless of how one stands in the polls, are not how one wins.

To be perfectly honest, I could care less if the man is a homosexual; the fact that he's pro-abortion, pro-homosexual and a tax-and-spend liberal is enough to turn me away from this guy. Taxes are killing the state of Ohio and I believe he will do more of the same taxing that destroying this state. But, I'm with Pullins on this one: I don't want another McGreevey incident. If Mr. Strickland is gay, he should at least be honest enough to admit it!
I do believe his vote in 1999 and the fact that he hired a convicted sex offender (and went to Italy with him alone) is an important issue though. Thanks to the DemocRATS overplaying their hand and bringing up the Mark Foley "scandal", a door has been opened to expose the hypocrisy of the RATS and Mr. Strickland's vote and actions have now become an important issue in this race.
Is Ohio about to elect a man who is soft on pedophilia? A man who doesn't have the sense to do background checks on convicted sex predators who may want to work for him? I don't care what anyone says, this IS important! I don't want this state to become a haven for these child predator monsters all because the "governor" feels like we shouldn't "judge" them!
Dirty politics, my foot! I don't want a man who's soft on pedophilia as my governor! Keep up the pressure, you undocumented journalists (my pet name for the conservative bloggers - doing the work so-called "real" journalists won't do!).
This is crap. Who cares if he is gay or not.
"The story noted Flannery "criticized Mr. Strickland for vacationing in Italy with a male political 'protégé' who had been convicted of indecent exposure."
On another thread it is stated that Strickland was a guest speaker at a NAMBLA event.
VOTE FOR BLACKWELL!!!
