"Robert Traynham ... is widely respected and admired on Capitol Hill, both among the press corps and among the congressional staff, as a communications professional. Not only is Mr. Traynham an exemplary staffer, but he is also a trusted friend confidente to me and my family. Mr. Traynham is a valued member of my staff and I regret that this effort on behalf of people who oppose me has made him a target of bigotry in their eyes.
"It is entirely unacceptable that my staffs' personal lives are considered fair game by partisans looking for arguments to bolster my opponent's campaign. Mr. Traynham continues to have my full support and confidence as well as my prayers as he navigates this rude and mean spirited invasion of his personal life."
Santorum is a self serving HYPOCRITE!
His "personal life" is PUBLIC when you are in a PUBLIC position.
Defending a homosexual when you claim to be AGAINST their life style choice is disgusting when it BENEFITS you.
Disgusting.
Not at all. The underlying assumption here is that any gay person MUST be in full support of the Gay Agenda. Not all gays are militant, not all gays want to force their lifestyle choice down everyone else's throat or in everyone else's face. The very fact that Santorum has a staffer who is gay, but supports Santorum's political stance is evidence of that.
This is the stance of the MSM, because they cannot allow the appearance of anything but absolute solidarity of all gays against traditional family values. The fact that not all gays support the so-called gay agenda is the "dirty little secret" that the MSM works hard to hide. You are taking the MSM's talking points as your own.
And no, I am not in favor of the gay agenda. I am not gay, and I disagree on theological and biblical grounds with the whole idea that being gay is inevitible, genetic, or a legitimate "alternative" lifestyle. The bible calls it sin, and so do I.
I disagree with your assessment of this issue and frankly, your comments are offensive.
If Santorum should fire him for being a homosexual, what should the Senatory do with those caught in adultry, drunkeness or drug use?
You do know that GWB has gays in his adminstration, right? WHo gives a crap if someone is gay. If they are the right person for the job, so be it. Sheesh. If Rove was gay, would you stil want him as the lead strategist in the WH?
Wow...not only petty, but proud. Surely you have more sense than this?
