Homosexual press hot to 'out' Bush figures

Apparently, it has become a crime (for the left) to be Gay and not an advocate...or at least a Democrat. Even if these people are Gay, I have more respect for them because their lives are not defined by their sexuality.

Ironically, many of these people are the ones who defended Clinton...telling us that his sex life was a personal matter. Yet, it is these same people who very much want to make other people's sex-lives very public...so they can destroy them.

Am not in panic mode--but am P' ed. Too many Americans will
sleep until that trainwreck is inevitable. Then panic is useless. When everyone else panics I--the one they see as
unstable become very calm and cease to feel anything but act
in such a manner as to remedy whatever maelstrom is unfolding.

Most liberal gays are already out. And within the liberal community they are usually pretty well accepted.

It's the Republican side of the aisle that gets upset with gays and that's why it's a poison pill for many republican gays to be outed and it's why the left uses it against republicans.

The gay issue is going to become a large issue for Republicans in the future between the gay financial conservatives and to a point the gay national security conservatives and get the gonvernment off our backs conservatives on one side and the Christian Right conservatives on the other. I'm beginning to see more gays more closely align with the financial, security realists and get the government off our backs postion of the republican party more and more. The area I live in has a area Republican chairman that is gay and for the reasons I cited. I'm not sure of his beliefs in regard to matters of faith.

The Christian Right/Evangelical types are not happy that he's gay, although they do recognize his leadership qualities. But the gay thing is not easy to swallow. They are very concerned the party is being hijacked away from their social conservative issues and concerns. And they do plan to bring forward a non-gay person for the position when the incumbents term is over, purely on his sexual beliefs and not his sucess in his position.

So I guess your question "is it RNC policy to out gays" really is moot. It doesn't harm liberals and tends to hurt those in the RNC tent. Kind of like shooting yourself in the foot.

I didn't mean to imply your were panicing. Sorry about that.

I believe there is only so much we can do. I have had to think about this subject, and come to terms with what I was willing to sign on to.

I'm not willing to sign on to a plan that would see physical injury as a last resort remedy. I've had to adopt a coexistance, within limits.

When it comes to kids, I have very low tolerance to close associations or indoctrinations.

I do believe there is a ration arguement to be made for your case. I understand it's logic. I do however have a very hard time believing that roughly 2% of the populace is going to sink the Republican party as long as the party stays away from the issue of what people do in the privacy of their homes.

I have very mixed feelings about homosexuals being in positions of leadership in the party. I am relatively sure there are other qualified individuals that could appointed to tasks in new administrations.

I look at homosexuality as a morals issue. That may be a flawed view, but I have my reasons for holding that view.

Thanks for the comments. I don't think they were off the wall, at all.

>>Gannon's aggressively partisan work and the ease with which he got day passes for the White House press room the past two years make it hard to believe that he wasn't at least implicitly sanctioned by the 'boy genius.' Rove, who rarely gave on-the-record interviews to the MSM (mainstream media), had time to talk to GOPUSA, which owns Talon." <<

Umm... Rove wouldn't like to pick the guy because he liked the questions he asked... No, too obvious... there must be a MORE sinister link...
