Did he or did he not fill out that questionaire from the Log Cabin Republicans and give those answers ?
That is: Did he or did he not fill out the questionnaire (with stunningly mod-lib answers on social issues) to the homosexual activist Log Cabin Republicans?
Two key problems arise here (and I know the Simon camp will say we are splitting hairs but so be it; it's critical!); they are very important and we must demand Quality Control for our conservative candidates!
First, if he DID NOT ANSWER the Gay GOP group's petition, then somebody must be called to account for it. If this is the case, then there might be legal or forgery questions involved. In the case that Mr. Simon was 'set up' by a bogus questionnaire and somebody forged his responses, I'll take that and apologize for all the rucus!
But, on the other hand, if he DID ANSWER the Gay GOP group's questionnaire, then why does he not reference that and then state that he recants what he wrote. This should be simple enough.
The problem lies in whether the candidate DID OR DID NOT SEND OUT THIS QUESTIONNAIRE.
There can only be a YES or a NO. And there cannot be a finessing if the answer was YES.
(If somebody can) clarify the issue for me on these two points, and the issue comes to an end for me.
