Okay, wait a minute, folks.
Does Thompson not know his press secretary is openly gay? If he does know, then what exactly was the point of that hiring?
Is the GOP not supposed to be a family values party? Are the true conservatives going to get so invested in this guy that they will start ignoring rather loud warning sirens like this?
Now, let’s be sure we understand this . . . there is nothing illegal about putting openly gay employees on your senior campaign staff. And there is nothing “wrong” with having signs of not being purely conservative. After all, Romney has such signs in his background, and certainly Guilliani has many liberal aspects.
But I don’t think there are any “openly gay” press secretaries on Romney’s senior campaign staff. Maybe not on the other GOP candidate staffs either. This makes no sense.
