Anti-gay Republican caught in Craigslist male prostitute scandal

Earlpearl: Ignore the hypocrisy of a "transparent" government that wont even hand out the contact information of the people whose JOB it is to liase with the public. THERE ARE CLOSTED HOMOSEXUALS WORKING AT THE GOP!!! DONT YOU SEE???!!!! THERE BE GAYS IN THEM THAR HILLS!

Again, agreed. Hypocrites need to go, regardless of party.

 

So I guess you would agree that Newt Gingrich should drop out of the race. He has been attacking other politicians on moral issues for the last 30 years. Meanwhile he had two well documented affairs with other women while married, there are serious reported other affairs with other women while married to his first wife, on top of having an illicit affair with the woman who became his 2nd wife...and held back child suport for his kids and held back alimony on his first wife.

Now here is an amazing element of hypocrisy. Among the affairs Newt had was one wherein he limited the sexual activity to oral sex...so he could deny ever having sex with the woman....

This is so unbelievable in light of Newt's attacks on Clinton source

So I have two thoughts:

1. Newt is clearly the least moral candidate running for any office...and clearly the biggest hypocrite out there when it comes to moral issues.

2. It appears that Clinton's behavior is an exact replica of what Newt did first. Somebody has to ask if Newt directly gave him the idea and told him it worked.

 

The Obama justice department, unable to hide behidn a legitimate excuse for denying a freedom of information of act, got caught lying to a federal judge. Needless to say, the judge was not happy.

What else would one expect from the most transparent Administration in US History. Openly lying to the public,denying the existence of governemnt documents, openly taking the 5th in congressional hearings while retaining their jobs, openly lying to the judicial branch of government to achieve their ends.

They are so in the habit of lying, they cant even keep their lies straight, having to officially withdraw documents submitted to congressional investigations based on lack of truthful content.

Earlpearl, you still seem to think I give a crap about what someone does in their bedroom. Babeu claimed to champion secure borders while secretly harboring (ass poozling) an illegal immigrant. The answer is simple. Deport the illegal and fire Babeu. Obama is hypocritical in representing the crap you seem to care about yet you still back his play. To me, that is idiotic, on your part.

Your incessant focus on what people do in the bedroom make me think you are some kind of religious nut.

 

O_Nation: First you say the above. Its unequivocal. The prior commentary about hypocrisy had to do with the moral elements of a politicians character. That was what the thread is about: Let me repeat and pull words from the Opening Post: Anti Gay Republican

Now O-Nation...what is the thread about? We all know the GOP is ranting and raving about Gay Americans. At its most moralistic end the moralists scream about Gay's destroying society. Time and time again we find one of these screamers/moralists being a closet gay. Too often we find that they are married and engaged in an illicit affair.

I broadened the topic ever so slightly to include the many members of the GOP who endlessly preach about morality and family values and also engage in family destroying illicit affairs. They engage in these affairs while proclaiming loudly and strongly that they tie family values in with God and religion and those that don't follow these beliefs are often attacked in the most vicious way. They are every bit as hypocritical on moral issues as the closet gay republicans. You just can't trust them at all.

Lets face it...they just lie there way to power.

And then after they are caught lying...they do everything they can do to stay in power as long as possible: examples: Larry Craig, David Vitter and John Ensign. The GOP doesn't care. It appears to enable these liars to stay in their seats of power as long as they can.

Hah...Newt Gingrich has made an entire career on this very practice. In the first campaign he won he attacked his opponent on moral issues...(that takes us back to the 1970's) claiming she would split her family by moving to Washington.

Just think of it...after bringing morality into his first successful shot at politics he virtually immediately had the illicit affair that ended his first marriage. Almost immediately!!

He became the first member of Congress to use C Span as a way to broadcast every speech every day to the public. He used it to morally attack Democrats. Then at the early stages of his period in Congress he attacked the then speaker of the House on moral issues. No one has a longer history for throwing moral issues into the fray in attacking the other party. Newt virtually invented it.

And then we find that in Newt's long long history he is simply amoral. He has no morals. He doesn't give a crap about anyone but Newt. He'll endlessly attack any politician on any level and turn it into a vicious moral broadside. He uses and abuses people then spits them out. That is why more people who actually know him, and have either worked for him or with him hate his guts and don't trust him.

Now O_Nation ....after you specifically stated above

Then when presented with Newt Gingrich's past you tell us you don't give a rat's ass about his hypocrisy.

I guess that makes you one helluva hypocrite.

 

In other words, Obama feels that limits to campaign contributions are a great idea, so long as he is the underdog. When he discovered he could dramatically outraise McCain in the 2008 election, those campaign limits were no longer necessary. In a classic peice of Obama speak, he phrased it this way:

When the dust settled, by opting out of campaign contribution limits, Obama managed to raise $758 Million dollars to McCain's paltry $360 million. Two years later, Obama scolded supreme court justices in his state of the union address for making US elections about the money. Too bad it isn't Chicago, or he could have just done away with them.


@Earlpearl, why are you still babbling on about what people do in the bedroom. If you really believe Gingrich's status as a divorce, somthing he shares in common with practically half of Americans who have ever been married, is a such a big deal, start a thread about it. Hell, if people's personal lives are so important to you, there are more than a few credible rumors floating about that Obama bats for the other team. Why don't you dig into the veracity of those rumors and send your findings to TMZ, so people who care can read about it.


You have failed to address even one of the news stories I've presented, all of which clearly demonstrate Obama's rank hypocrisy. I can take that to mean either you have no response, or you endorse that kind of hypocrisy. Your stock is declining in value man.

 

obamanation, just out of curiosity do you know why so many of your party members and supposedly friends because of common ideology are closet gays?

 

I can't imagine he has any chance of winning. I was just reading this old profile about Newt in the New Yorker from 1995. OMG.

 

or not: http://www.dkosopedia.com/wiki/Republican_Sex_Scandals

From what I can tell Republicans are well ahead in the peadophile / immoral stakes.

 

That's only a list of Republican sex scandals. Not a comparison to Democrats. Plus, the very first sentence under the title of Republican Sex Scandals" says "Most are cited, some lack sources, and some are rumors."

Talking about biased sources

 

If all GOP types supposedly run around bashing gays... Why isnt that born out in this forum?
SAMPLE: Try an advanced search in DP. Choose speaker "gworld", keyword "gay". Do the same search with my name. Is the gay bashing coming from me, where most posts discuss NOT subjecting 'em to harrassment... or from the guy that makes "gay" his knee-jerk insult? Stats speak for themselves.

Reality
There are nutcases in the GOP. There are nutcases in the DNC. In neither case does it suggest everyone in their party shares the trait. The real question is why are we discussing THIS instead of effectiveness as our mounting debt is on the verge of taking us where Greece is at?

Family Values? Seriously, is that our biggest issue?
Frankly under the economic circumstances there are a helluvalot more important things for me to worry about than whether some politician gets laid by someone besides their wife. For all i can tell obama is a model husband... But so was Jimmy Carter. It didnt make them better presidents. They were both ineffective.

I could care less whether the next president is the poster child for marital bliss... I'd vote for Charlie Sheen if I thought he could get effective legislation passed that'd get government spending in check, get the government out of everyones pocket, and quit making assaults on their least favorite portions of the bill of rights.

If we can get a guy to do that... he can screw goats on the White House lawn for all i care. :02

 

LOL ...and if you go into Newt's past...he'd screw goats to get elected. and then film it on CSPAN for all to see.

 

The drugs and hookers platform. Who couldn't get behind that? Winning!


@GWorld: I'm just trying to figure out why liberals, who supposedly support the gay community, constantly play the homosexual card as something shameful. Here is some reading you may find interesting.

Notice how the OP of this homophobic thread is..... a liberal? FYI, the article above is about a rising star in the Republican party. A sheriff with one of the best arrest and conviction records in his state, who happens to be very tough on illegal immigration. Reading about it, his homosexuality has been one of the worst kept secrets in Arizona. He has been openly gay for a long time, he just never made it a topic of his campaign.

@Rebecca: It is looking a lot like the whole Babeu thing is just another left wing Uncle Tom style attack. The ex-boyfriend is, and has been in the country legally, per Babeu, and no evidence has been produced to date to back any of the abuse of power allegations. Its looking like they parted ways in less than friendly terms and this is the byproduct. According to Babeu, Jose worked as his webmaster and lost that job when the relationship ended, though Jose continued to post a few last nice parting shots on his facebook and website accounts.

As Babeu was strong on border enforcement, Latino Rights groups have seized on the opportunity with a presumption of guilt in the following press release:

 

I found that link from the comments of the Democrats link you posted, that list had 29 events. The Republican list on the same site has 32. Your comment said Dems had 'slightly more' scandals but that wasn't the case. As you rightly stated about my link, most of them 70-odd scandals were cited which puts Republicans way ahead in scumbag terms imho.

 

It seems ironic for illegal immigrants to file a complaint to the U.S. Department of Justice for being threatened with deportation.

Anyway, the claim Sheriff Paul Babeu threatened deportation doesn't make a lot of sense, if both men are now claiming Jose was here legally. On the CNN it says:

On the Arizona Daily Star, they point out restrictions of the tourist visa. Jose wouldn't have been allowed to work, or stay longer than 6 months at a time. Otherwise, he would be here illegally.

But, if he was here legally, how would that even be a threat? If so, the claim "Sheriff intimidated me with threats of deportation" just doesn't seem very credible. As you've probably read, the Sheriff is countering with his own accusations, including hacking his site. Crazy story...

Bushranger, I see what you're talking about. On the link I posted it shows 29 sex scandals for Democrats, and 32 sex scandals for Republicans. Yet, it says "Democrats have edged ahead in (sex scandals in) recent years though!" Just from my own feeling, it seems to be with both parties. I don't hear about a sex scandal and think, "Oh, must be a Democrat!" or "It must have been a Republican!"

btw- it may be the list I posted isn't the best either. I hardly read yours though, because they're admitting right in the first sentence that they're even listing ones that are just rumors. I wonder if there is one that we know is completely unbiased?

 

Sounds normal to me. This kind of shit with anti gay republicans has been happening for a long time.

 

There is nothing wrong about being gay and I like many of "Republicans" posters in this forum to come out of the closet and be true to themselves. I am against all the BS that Republicans advertise about family values, Christianity and on how abortion and being gay is immortal sins.



It seems you and these guys are using the same type of hat, what store did you buy yours from?

 

And we thank you for your support.

Breakups can be messy, especially when it comes to politics, and the illegal immigration lobby has a lot of money and volunteers behind it willing exploit just about anything. If they actually ever produce any evidence showing conclusively that Babeu abused his power, I hope he gets bounced. My guess is, if they had it, we would have already seen it.

The funnier thing will be if Babeu, a now extremely "out" homosexual, wins the congressional seat he is running for in the extremely conservative district of Arizona he is in. Given his amazing work record, I think he has a shot. I'd say his victory would go a long way towards ending the use of homosexuality as a distraction/wedge issue by Democrats who don't want to talk about their bad policies and ideas, but it wont. Stereotypes have a life of their own when they are perpetuated for political purposes. Perhaps one upside will be more of the gay community voting Republican.

 

You know at least one of your friends in this forum is already voting Republicans even if he only some times comes out of the closet and claims that he is only doing it to convert Muslims.

 

Not true. Canadians cant vote in US elections.
