What does that have to do with any of this? Please explain...I don’t get it.
If all you go on is the surface manifestations ~ to wit, the RNC paid for the attendance of people at a 'nekkid' girl show place where they showed whips and handcuffs ~ you might say something about "this kind of thing".
On the other hand if you remember Governor Ryan, and what "this kind of thing" was about the issue is no longer about "contributions".
Kyl is saying to me that he knows the most intimate details of that club and why the particular potential donors were taken to that club ~ reading between the lines they were ALL successful women and that club was their kind of place.
What he's saying to you is that men went to the club to oggle the nekkid girls.
No, far from it, this was an opening to the GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transexual) community, and probably the "bondage" crowd within it, or linked to it.
One of the reasons to reach out to this crowd is, of course, for campaign funds, but also for votes. They saw what the Democrats did to Senator Craig and it wasn't pretty. That was the highest ranking GLBT in the Congress and the Democrats pushed him out like he was last Sunday's newspaper. Republicans let them.
We have something similar here. The lady staffer makes a push for GLBT money, which is certainly available, and the first people to strike were the DEMOCRATS.
It's not like these guys were going to run a bondage queen for Congress ~
Kyl knows what the place really was. He knows about the place in New York that snared Gov Ryan. The WarshDC GLBT community claims that Kyl is, in fact, one of them but he doesn't want to be "outed".
Well, that may be coming unless Kyl goes to bat for that lady staffer who got fired over this.
BTW, none of that reflects my own thoughts on having GLBT people inside the Republican party. I've argued frequently that we shouldn't be putting them in policy or ideology positions ~ which would certainly exclude Kyl from the Senate if, in fact, he is part of the GLBT community, but that's not to say we shouldn't take their money!
They know the Democrats are not their friends ~
