Gay Republicans

Jon Ponder connects the dots so I don't have to:

In the wake of closeted Sen. Larry Craig’s self-outing in an airport men’s room this summer, Mike Rogers, the Washington-based publisher of blogActive who outed Craig, is threatening to reveal the secret sexual identities of two leading GOP senators, while two allegedly gay Republican congressmen are making headlines and drawing unwelcome attention to themselves, the timing of which could not be worse.

The Senators are Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), while the Representatives are Patrick McHenry (R-NC) and David Dreier (R-CA).

Former Rep. Mark Foley's lead defender, corrupt gay rightwing Republican Patrick McHenry (R-NC) is back in the news, and this could be the tawdriest Republican scandal ever. Howie Klein tells the story, which reads like the plot of a mystery:

it looks like there is a connection between McHenry and a murderous Republican homosexual love triangle/escort service.

Last October, while the Mark Foley scandal was still buzzing, we reported Mike Rogers' discovery that rightwing Idaho Senator Larry Craig is gay.

I have done extensive research into this case, including trips to the Pacific Northwest to meet with men who have say they have physical relations with the Senator. I have also met with a man here in Washington, D.C., who says the same -- and that these incidents occurred in the bathrooms of Union Station. None of these men know each other, or knew that I was talking to others. They all reported similar personal characteristics about the Senator, which lead me to believe, beyond any doubt, that their stories are valid.

Remember Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC), the GOP's lead defender of page-molesting Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL)? It seemed strange that anyone would defend Foley, so I decided to learn more about McHenry and - suprise surprise! - last October I outed him as gay.

This is just too rich.... Last week Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY) sliced and diced the Pentagon's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy by suggesting Condoliar Rice hire the gay linguists dismissed by the Pentagon during a congressional hearing on the '08 State Dept. budget. Ackerman said. "...For some reason, the military seems more afraid of gay people than they are against terrorists, but they're very brave with the terrorists.... If the terrorists ever got a hold of this information, they'd get a platoon of lesbians to chase us out of Baghdad...."

It's official, Kenny (BoyToy) Mehlman's replacement has been anointed by our Dear Smirkin' MisLeader. Mel (Empty-Suit) Martinez is the new partime RNC Chair. He of the infamous Terry Schiavo memo. And, yes, another Lobbygate - Bob Ney - Jack Abramoff tainted Republican. Oh, and he's also caught up in a little campaign finance scandal of his own involving corporate embezzlers in S. Fl. But I'm sure that's someone else's fault.... Great choice Smirky! I'm enjoying the hell out of watching you flush your Repugnant crime syndicate down the ol' swirly slip and slide...

Bush Announces Sen. Martinez Next RNC Chairman
Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Fla.), a close WH ally and a Cuban American, will take the job of general chairman of the RNC, Bush announced to reporters at the WH this afternoon. The appointment comes in the wake of an election that yielded shrinking GOP support from Hispanic voters. Martinez, a first-term senator, will remain in office and serve as the party's chief spokesman and fundraiser heading into the 2008 elections. Mike Duncan, the RNC's current general counsel and a former party treasurer, will manage day-to-day operations and be elected chairman in January, Bush said. The current co-chair, Jo Ann Davidson, will continue in that post... (more)

OK, Maher outs Kenny (BoyToy) Mehlman on Larry King Wed. eve. CNN then censors it out of the midnight and 3:00AM repeats of the show and purges the the offending passages from the King show's transcript. Then CNN goes further by demanding YouTube pull the videos of the segment posted by YouTube members, including a cease and desist sent letter to AmericaBlog editor, John Arivosis. But YouTube hasn't purged all copies of the video segment, yet....

Look out America! Another Gay Republican is on the prowl. Gay Republicans are dropping from the sky! Do you know where your children are? Unbelievable! A rising young star in the FL GOP has been boasting about sexual trysts with FL GOP candidate and Jebthro Bush wannabe Charlie Crist. There have been many rumors over the yrs., including one that has Crist as Mark Foley's former roomate (1, 2, 3, 4)....

Crist Denies Trysts - GOP frontrunner: I have never had sex with a man By Bob Norman
A young rising star in the Republican Party has boasted to witnesses of his sexual relationship with Charlie Crist, the frontrunner in the Florida governor's race who has repeatedly denied that he is gay. The GOP staffer, 21-year-old Jason Wetherington, told friends at separate social functions in August that he had sex with Crist... (more)

Hmmmm, is suspected pervert Jerry Weller ratting out a fellow Republican pervert to try and save his own ass?

Weller refers incident to House
WASHINGTON -- Rep. Jerry Weller, R-Morris, through his election attorney, moved Thursday to inform the House that a former male page or intern may have been the subject of inappropriate attention from another lawmaker, Weller's campaign manager said Thursday. Steven Shearer said the congressman was not prepared to reveal the identity of the youth, the timing, nor the identity of the lawmaker, but felt confident that a former page or intern was "inappropriately invited to a social function by another congressman."...

How low will they go? The desperation is really showing with this latest craven campaign tact by the criminally corrupt Repugnants. I can only surmise they've now reached the SAY ANYTHING phase...

Republicans say top Democrats support 'group of gay paedophiles'

Let the dirty campaigning begin. With less than three weeks to go before the US mid-term elections and an embattled Republican Party struggling to hold on to control of both the House and Senate, some of the country's more desperate candidates are resorting to desperate measures. Republicans aren't going after their Democratic challengers much on Iraq, or the war on terror, or nuclear proliferation. Instead, members of pResident Bush's party are accusing their adversaries of being apologists for gay sex between adults and children.
