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.
Would you read my post #69? This guy doesn’t do the “openly gay” routine. He was privately gay until his privacy was violated.
Gee. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone use the words “openly gay” so many times in a single post. Someone should alert the Guinness Book of Records.
No, you wait a minute. And while you're at it, cut out the condescension. You may be under the misguided impression that you're someone more important than the rest of us, but here, you're just another FReeper. And a slimy one at that.

Umm...because he wanted one of the best in the business, who formerly worked for Rick Santorum? Hmm??? How about maybe Fred doesn't give a rat's donkey what the guy does in his personal life?

And excluding a competent, and highly qualified person from a job because he was cruelly outed by a malicious blogger is supposed to be 'family values'? He's supposed to be thrown to the curb for that? If those are the 'values' in your family, I'm glad I'm not spending the holidays at your house.

Your attitude is much more of a warning sign than hiring Robert Traynam could ever be. Hiring an individual is NOT endorsing an agenda. Not even close. To imply that it is, is simply disingenuous. But, after a search of your posts, I see that you're no stranger to that.

Wow. That's deep.

Straw man alert! Put that thing away, before we scare all the crows away from this thread!

Oh, sure! That makes total sense. Because Romney sought out to actually help the homosexual agenda in MA and openly courted and pandered to the Log Cabin Republicans, this somehow puts him on the same footing as Fred Thompson hiring a gay campaign staffer? Wow. Whoever sent you out here to argue with actual men really left you at a serious disadvantage.

Yeah, they're really 'closed' about it and only get outed in airport restrooms.
This makes no sense.
That's the first intelligent thing you said. You're right. Your post is completely nonsensical. Next time, just skip to the last line and save us all the trouble.
The press secretary's sexual orientation is irrelevant to the position he's been hired for.
BTW - the guy was "outed" by liberals, so it wasn't like he was parading his homosexuality in everyone's face beforehand.
I hate to interrupt your little sleazefest with an evidence-based inquiry, but who is Thompson's press secretary?
