Ken Mehlman, President Bush's campaign manager in 2004 and a former chairman of the Republican National Committee, has told family and associates that he is gay.
Mehlman arrived at this conclusion about his identity fairly recently, he said in an interview. He agreed to answer a reporter's questions, he said, because, now in private life, he wants to become an advocate for gay marriage and anticipated that questions would arise about his participation in a late-September fundraiser for the American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER), the group that supported the legal challenge to California's ballot initiative against gay marriage, Proposition 8.
"It's taken me 43 years to get comfortable with this part of my life," said Mehlman, now an executive vice-president with the New York City-based private equity firm, KKR. "Everybody has their own path to travel, their own journey, and for me, over the past few months, I've told my family, friends, former colleagues, and current colleagues, and they've been wonderful and supportive. The process has been something that's made me a happier and better person. It's something I wish I had done years ago."
Privately, in off-the-record conversations with this reporter over the years, Mehlman voiced support for civil unions and told of how, in private discussions with senior Republican officials, he beat back efforts to attack same-sex marriage. He insisted, too, that President Bush "was no homophobe." He often wondered why gay voters never formed common cause with Republican opponents of Islamic jihad, which he called "the greatest anti-gay force in the world right now."

When you posted, “Personally, I wouldn’t put many of the political elite class near an unattended herd of goats. They would either sexually abuse them, steal them, or register them to vote. Or all three.”, you put in just a few words the exact ideas most of us have for “professional politicians”......ala McCain, Gramnesty and a whole batch of others.
Mahalo Nui Loa.
Well color me surprised....whats next....Lindsay Graham’s a closeted heterosexual?? *eye roll*
Maybe he and Graham have something going.

“I will never be able to understand what drives men to the arms of other men.”
I don’t think Kenny is being driven into men’s arms, he’s too busy burying his face into other regions, lol.
I wish people here did not insult gay people. It just isn’t very kind. No conservative hero would be that cruel (Reagan, rush, plain).
It is not "small" to out a traitor to the cause of conservatism.
No fagot can BE conservative. They are all liars, impostors, frauds, traitors and pretenders.
Sodom and GOPmorrah?
He was no help at all. This is why things are worse now than before. We did not change anything.
I will make this succinct:
There is no such thing as a Conservative Sodomite. The two are mutually exclusive for the following single and clear reason.
Conservatives support Limited Self Government.
Limited Self Government is result of Self Control and Self Limits.
Gays. Faggots. Queers. Homosexuals. Sodomites. Are those persons who are lacking the ability to control their lusts.
They lack self limiting, self control.
They lack the very prerequisite for self government.
Our Constitution was written for a moral people and it is totally unsuited to govern any other type of people.
Thus, those lacking self control in their lusts cannot exercise self government, and are therefore NOT Conservative.
They are liars, frauds, simulacrums, impostors, pretenders, fakes, deceivers.
We must in no means, for no reason ally ourselves with them, for it will be the very cause of our undoing.
I site the recent example of the outing of former GOP Chair Ken Mehlman. He is now an admitted sodomite, is it any wonder the total failure of his leadership on conservative issues?
There is no such thing as a Conservative Sodomite. The two are mutually exclusive. Shame and shun them.
Don’t beat yourself up, DoughtyOne. Honest mistakes are made. Trust me....I know.
Im so glad he is happy
“I wish people here did not insult gay people.”
Completely agree. I find some of these comments so mean-spirited and hateful.
“shame and shun them”
Wow. Was wondering just how vile your comment must’ve been to deserve deletion upthread. Guess this is similar. Such an ugly spirit. Whatever your “side” is, I don’t want to be on it.
Just listen to what God has to say about them:
“Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves...
For even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature,
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind”
(Romans Chapter 1)
I could have, but while other acts may indeed be sinful, only the homosexual act is condemned as reprobate and warns that the mind will follow the deed into abandon. Liars, Thieves, Fornicators, Adulterers, etc are all strongly prohibited, but none of those carry the very strong warning which surrounds the sodomites.
That is such a stark warning.
I mean the very core of it, is that they did not WISH to RETAIN knowledge of God.
Which means they HAD such. They felt it. Knew it. And choose the sodomy in place of God.
And God says He will “give them over”.
That is “give up”. He knows that once they embrace it, and quit trying to fight the sin, they are done. Gone. Beyond His reach.
Stark!
Those are the only ones God gives up on too. No other kind of mind. Murderers. Adulterers. Thieves. He never stops trying to reason with them. Sodomites? He’s done. Yer on yer own boyz.
WOW.
And the sodomites here, on this very thread, would rather see this nation enslaved, destroyed, and God wiped from the memory of all men, before they will stop trying to put it where it don’t belong.
They choose THAT over ALL else.
They are not at all our allies.
They are the very 5th column. The enemy within.
3 ... 2 .... 1 until Mehlman makes some tearful public statement about contracting AIDS. He bought some ultra luxury $4,000,000 condo in the gayest part of NYC. It’s only obvious what this reprobate is doing. Why oh why do these militant homosexuals always put the most bizarre sex acts as their highest priority in life?
