[RINO] Kolbe says time not right to push gay immigration rights [Admits having foreign boyfriend]

Kolbe says time not right to push gay immigration rights

Gay GOP congressman is in bi-national relationship By JOSHUA LYNSEN | Jul 6, 12:38 AM

Retiring gay Congressman Jim Kolbe (R-Ariz.), who is involved in a bi-national relationship, said in an interview this week that he isn't pushing gay issues in the ongoing immigration battle on Capitol Hill because it would only add "baggage" to the debate.

"The immigration debate is so heavily laden and so fraught with so many issues that adding one like this into it is not terribly practical," said Kolbe, one of the leading congressional Republicans setting immigration policy. "It adds baggage. It doesn't help the debate."

Kolbe, who is in a relationship with a man from Panama in the United States on a temporary visa, said that opponents of allowing gay Americans to sponsor their foreign partners for immigration purposes argue against any federal legal recognition of gay couples. Kolbe declined to identify his partner.

To counter that argument, Kolbe said everyone who supports the Uniting Americans Families Act, which would allow bi-national couples to permanently live together in the United States, must call on Congress to act.

"There aren't enough people who know about this problem," said Kolbe, who has announced he will retire at the end of his current term. "It's a matter of making more people aware of it."

Oh my! This admission explains a great deal about Kolbe's atrocious voting record on immigration (pro-amnesty, anti-security, etc). It is shocking that a sitting Congressman is having a gay relationship with a foreign national. That he's a Republican is a stain on the party. The tent is a little too big when you let scumbags like Kolbe in. Now, will local or mainstream media even report this story? I doubt it.

"Homosexual news" tends to be heralded most and sometimes exclusively only on homosexual themed websites...

The saying "know your enemies" would most likely apply in this case...

An anti-Kolbe site, actually, had a link to the story. But go ahead and have your fun, Deacon.

"gay immigration rights"?
Groan.
What is this country coming to?
Another very strong reason to make sure that gay marriage doesn't become legal in this country.
We have too many gay people in San Francisco already, and look how San Francisco is screwed up.

Keep up the good work, Spiff. You post factual information and voting records that those who have opposing viewpoints are usually unable to refute in a logical manner.

This is pathetic. And Sinkspur, instead of trashing Kolbe and all the degenerate things he stands for, trashes the guy who posted the article.

Maybe this hits a little too close to home for the "spur sinker".

I dont think most Republicans are RINO Open-Borders, CFR, Rumprangers.

What's your issue: are you gay with an HIV Positive lover like Kolbe?

Calling folks NAZI's does not work. Most of the upper level Nazi's were gay and bisexual.

He is one reason there are no NRA sanctioned gun clubs on the east side of Tucson - He specifically claimed in one of his campaigns to relocate the Tucson Rod and Gun Club from Sabino Canyon to another east side location.

He takes money from Soros and will not slowly wither away.

He wrote language into legislation that still hamstrings Tucson area Border Patrol enforcement. When will that language be removed from law?

He openly supports gay marriage.

He supports avowed homosexuals in the military.

No peep from him on the bankrupt Catholic diocese. They are bankrupt due to his sodomite friends.

His home was broken into by illegals while he was away on a legislative session.

He has done nothing for the local area. Check his website out.

He is also an eco-nazi and is involved in land swaps on the federal, state and local level.

His brother found Persian written diaries on his ranch.


I reserve the right to stick it to this so-called representative. I want him to relocate to San Francisco - where he belongs.

Well I am glad the stool pusher announced he stopped running for re-election last year.

When you suffer same sex attraction it demonstrably warps your philosphy and legislation.

He is my representative and does not hold a single conservative value. I am actively voicing my opposition to Kolbe. Defend him all you want.

Why dont you try and defend his political decisions instead of attacking me?

It frankly is weird, and it's something I've pondered over the years.

There's a guy who posts at this forum, who I frankly have destested for years, who portrays himself as some self-righteous holier-than-thou conservative.

Turns out he's a cross-dresser who also posts at other forums as "Shirley". I kid you not. I have the proof which I choose not to share.

I'm not making any aspersions toward anyone else on this thread or anywhere else on the forum. I'm just saying that an obsession at this forum doesn't mean everything is how it appears.

Is he a "leader" or not?

He's Gay so are most of the Diocese's priests. They got sued into bankruptcy for child molestation. Gay child molestation.

Instead of running the church he's a congressman.

Not much difference. I am sure he thinks there is no problem with Catholics, just like you.

If you in the Los Angeles area, go to the Simon Weisenthal Center.

Go down to the basement where the research staff are located. Ask them if they can produce a single photo of what would be considered an attractive man in a KZ, wearing the pink triangle or being charged with crimes against nature so to speak.
