Uh Oh: Lindsay Graham is about to be Outed

[rareboy]

I always felt that Graham was a squish and a weasel anyhow. The way I see it, it kind of like being a member of the banking committee and railing against abuse by bankers and then accepting a sweetheart mortgage on house in Ireland. Wait a minute that actually was done, and now Connecticut is stuck with the wannabe war veteran Blumenthal. Ah shit what a dilemma. Everyone is entitled to a private life, even politicians. But when a office holders private life is a contradiction of his public stance, then the voters are entitled to know about it. See, if the guy supported gay rights and was a libertarian, that's consistent and I'd say leave him in the closet. But if he posed as an evangelical, voted against gay rights, but likes to play hide the sausage on the dl, naaaaaaa, open the door and turn on the lights. He's got it coming. At least he doesn't have a wife who will look foolish and used.

This.

Any public figure gives up the right to their own privacy when they are actively working against the same rights for others.

Good God. Of course he's gay and it's been known by those that care forever, along with a great many other politicians.

He does need to go. There are too many in office who will vote whichever way they are ordered, lest truth be told.

 

[MoltenRock III]

dunno if he is gay or not

dont really care

but... he is the perfect characterture of a country bumpkin REPUBLICAN WINGNUT from 'Mayberry' (TV show for you kiddies)

There. I fixed your quote for you.

When he votes to violate the privacy of others by supporting discriminatory laws and policies that's a bigger wrong.

So if Bush invading Iraq had cost less lives than the 9/11 attack, it would have been justified?

So you're after him for supporting warrantless electronic eavesdropping?

If this happens, my skepticism regarding the existence of a god will be decimated.

Whatever it takes if he is leading the life of J.Edgar Hoover.

Whatever it takes.

The basic argument so far is that two wrongs make a right.

My argument is that three rights make a left: if you pick a fight, don't complain if your victim fights back.

Now what I've been asking myself ever since Foley and Craig: could it be that somewhere in this world there is a homophobe who is actually straight?

Whatever it takes.

Lindsay Graham cannot afford to lead the life of J. Edgar Hoover. Have you ever heard about some of Hoover's outfits? Maybe Roy Cohn - Now that's the horse of a different color!
