so is the outing a done deal? or is it dependent on his vote?
Tell us of a Senator
True to his flag and party
Tell us of a Senator
who sucks a cock so hardy
"It is just a smaller one,"
says this leader from a state
"It's just for all the fun,:
say this leader on a date.
I've grown to hate these liars
who prey upon their brothers
he'll call us brazen criers
and sucks off all the others.
So raise a glass of soda
to this state's very power
the stature of a Yoda
on his knees by the hour.
The reporting will be done between tomorrow and teh day the senator is up for reelection to the Senate.
Who is it? Tell us!
I hope it's a Rethuglican. . . .
There are more than one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you at least tell us what party this particular hypocrite belongs to? Is he up for reelection in 2006?
norm coleman
Bravo, out the hypocritical mother-fucker...
it is obviously the fake democrat from wisconsin herb kohl; hopefully he will be defeated in the primary this fall
Jim DeMint?
Dreier is not married, Graham is not married, so they are out. Is Chaffee married? those are the only obvious gay men in the senate. oh....maybe Santorum?
McConnell?
Cornyn?
Stop guessing, it could be ANYONE! I used to be a DC callboy and i swear we could have brought down the house pretty easily.
when i refer to them as little-dicked pricks, i know what i'm talking about!! (snap) This was a decade ago, but i suspect nothing's changed.
man, we outta get the "boys" of today together before NOVEMBER and shake things up!!!!
Oh my...
Well, that's one way to boost readership, I suppose.
*pops popcorn as the world gets ready to tear you to shreds*
Redstate > here
Oh please. If you've got info like this, the most opportune time is any time. You think something like this isn't going to make headlines 99% of the time?
This is a good thing. We need to know who to properly demonize!
I admit, though, I'm surprised that you guys might think so.
In any case, it's good to see people trying to put the shame back into being gay! This whole "public acceptance" thing is just . . well . . . too gay.
With crap like this threat, it's no wonder there are no serious politicians left.
Who in their right mind would serve a nation full of dullards like this.
Michael Rogers:
Did you ever think that the Senator that voted for Alito are both gay? Thereby, supporting one anotheer secret.
Utterly pathetic. So what can't be won via the ballot box must be taken through attempted blackmail.
The left grows more and more unhinged everyday. No shame, no decency, no morals.
I don't blame you for emabrrassing him in this way, Mike. I'd get pretty ticked off too if the only place my boytoy took me for some fun was the Union Station restroom...
Welcome to permanent minority status--the new left, the new hatred--what remains interesting is the homophobia here. give it up.
A married closet gay senator ....
wild guess... orrin hatch
This, I admit, is moderately slimy as political blackmail and dirty tricks go in Washington. Not quite as bad as darkly accusing your opponent of being a shameless extrovert and practicing neopotism with your sister-in-law. But it doesn't exactly build confidence in me that those who oppose Sam Alito have anything left to say. Do you realize how desperate this sounds?
and, moreover... do you have proof?
This isn't a very original strategy. In fact, it's a rather obvious ripoff of Alan Drury's 1959 novel, Advise and Consent.
You lib pigs are such hypocrites. You cry like stuck pigs when someone from the right "threatens" or "outs," yet you do it with aplomb.
No wonder you idiots can't win elections.
You are sick and demented. Wastes of space, air, and water.
Mr. Gonzalez can prosecute you for this.
It was 10 years ago in DC...rules out Allen, Chaffe...not married (rules out frontrunner Graham...)
Michael,
Joe McCarthy would be proud of your tactics. It's refreshing to see the "witch hunt" is alive, well, and living on the Left.
Pathetic. You are beneath contempt.
You have to be joking. If you have photos, that threat might mean something. Pointing a finger without proof will just make you look like one more malicious nutjob in a great sea of fellow nutjobs, driving centrist voters into the Republican fold.
Please please let it be Brownback! would that be the funniest or what? Probably Norm Coleman and his teeth...McConnell would be disturbing on sooooo many levels.
Anonymous,
Shhhhh!!!! Don't give these idiots any ideas! Watching them implode is soooo much fun!
And rules out all the female GOP Senators, obviously....
Sounds like a guy who's been around awhile.
Drier is NOT a senator people...just a very festive congress"man" from Orange county California.
I am a little more than amused at the charge of "blackmail"...come on folks where the hell do you live? Have you noticed the junta in DC? Have you listened to the evangelical "christians"...don't think so. In any case any politico in DC elected or otherwise should understand that they cannot toss crap on any community..gay, african american in new orleans or anywhere in this county and not expect a tad push back. As they say in the south..ya lay down with dogs be prepared to get up with fleas.
So love for some scratchin....
Hey, I think if MR has the goods on some dude, he should make it public.
Ms Talent from Missouri.............
Larry,
What's it like being a mental patient? Here's a strategy you might employ, and I promise you it works better than attempted blackmail:
Win an election.
Of course there's a "junta" in Washington and the race is fixed and yada yada yada. A Democrat wins election, all of democracy is saved. A Republican wins, well it was fixed. Biggest loser mentality I can think of. Remarkably, if a Democrat wins in 08, I guess the forces of evil were magically repelled...for four years until the country votes in another Republican.
You guys really are the fringe on a number of levels. So when you're finished villifying someone for being gay (chew on that hypocrisy for a while, homophobe) enjoy President Jeb Bush's admin.
sure if they are up for re election in November ! Need six seats in the Senate for an old fashion impeachment trial. Got any goods on the house boys..sorry...couldn't help myself...need a good 20 seats there to start impeachment proceedings....whatever it takes after all we have had two..yes two elections stolen..one in Florida in 2k and one in Ohio in 04..push back now!
Wow, Mike! More posts on this topic in one day than there have been in months! You've truly hit a nerve...look at the panicky little wagons start to circle—I for one prefer to see the Tighty Whities on the defensive for once.
A guy who is a gay senator? Hilary Clinton is the closest fit? Or is it closet fit?
commence the outting now...put a damper on the SOTU.....
WAAAAAAAAAH...they stowe dee ewection.
Keep stomping your feet. NOt too hard, though. Wouldn't want the tin foil to fall off your head.
I am conservative and could care less if someone else is gay. Don't care, does not influence my vote.
What I find fascinating is how the left would seek to do personal harm to a man because he is gay, which is at the very least "anti-gay", which is what you accuse the right of being, which means you are projecting, which is psychotic.
Either way, if you want to bring forward the allegation against a sitting US Senator without hard evidence, you are going to draw extreme legal and media fire from the right and the left who will equally see you as a threat. It is a club afterall.
Is he hot?
Nope, can't be Hillary. He already came out of the closet.
Not surpising: the content of this blog.
More surprising: Don't Democrats read this thing? Don't any of you think this is terrible? Aren't any of you concerned that folks like Michael are pushing your values toward the fringe?
No? Then why should the average American support your party? I think that's a fair question.
Yanno, if "Mr. Senator" takes this threat seriously, he'll just resign and the GOP can field another "outsider" candidate.
Sean in Dallas:
"Tighty Whitey" is a stereotypical comment, which in this case is clearly a clearly racist comment, What I can't understand is why someone on the left would make a racist comment unless they were racist at heart, which is what you accuse the right of being, which means you are projecting, which is psychotic.
Wow, the decreasing emphasis on basic education has been a boon to the ranks of the conservatives.
What a sick and twisted threat. May you never fall pray to extortion. And you're for privacy, I guess, as long as people do what you want.
Interesting to expect a [identified in the update as] Republican senator to cast the only vote against cloture from his party, and this in order to _avoid_ potential scrutiny?
So fighting back against hypocritical gay politician that gains his power off of demonizing gays themselves makes someone a Nazi? I don't think so. The Nazis called a group of Polish concentration camp escapees "terrorists" in their media during world war II. Look it up.
I love this blog. The only place on the Internet where progressives (and gay men) fight back. Hopefully the announcement will be bet with a massive heart attack, denyingthe world of another self-hating queen.
I love it! Pull the trigger!
It's always fun to see the clowns come by when there's a story like this. It always hits a nerve with them and they end up attacking Michael for a while then they scatter like roaches trying to clean up their own little private log cabin indiscretions. Michael said he'd publish the name when he feels like it. It's going to be at a time and place of his own choosing. But you tools are fun to watch with the ad hominem attacks... right out of the Karla Rove/Ken Mehlwoman's playbook.
Gee, seems like an awful lot of red blooded/stated MERICAN MALES read this gay site don't it?Comon all you neoconaziclosetqueens, keep on bleeting. OUT THE MOTHER (oops, daddy)FUCKER! Just in case you christofacist fucktards missed it, it ain't cause he's gay, it's cause the low life scum/cum suckin waste of protoplasm is a HYPOCRITE. So fuck you very much.
Well it could be Sen. Kohl, though he is a Democrat.
But if the GOP wants a culture war BRING IT ON!!
It's also fun to play the "Danite's" like the fools they are. Dubya and his minions got them all fired up over the marriage amendment didn't he. Well, some of the closet queens in the Capitol are going to feel the same heat from those same fucktards when their closet door is busted open. They're better than the folks with torches and pitchforks going after Frankenstein's monster. A conservative self-loathing closet queen gets run out of town by these freaks, yeah, there's a possibility they'll be replaced with another conservative, then again, maybe not. Gonna be a fun time watching it all happen though! But I can wait. It doesn't have to happen tomorrow.
I feel in love with the Advise and Consent series that was mentioned many replies back on this thread. Allen Drury made an impact on my reading habits and so I use his name as my blog cover name.
But none of his creations could ever come near the horrible actions that the GOP undertakes daily against gay people in America. No other group would get treated this way in our country today without total hell breaking loose! That is why this site is right on target and getting more readers every day.
These bastards that want to ruin my life and those of my gay brothers through undermining the Constitution must understand that we too know how to use the forces of the media and internet. We can subject them to the same type of action they use against us.
Only history shows that we will win, and they will wind up in the trash bin of history.
Recall that we once had to fight to marry someone that wasn't our own color...we will win this one too!
I say out them if they vote in any way that harms gays and lesbians. They have no right to live a closeted life and to hurt those who choose to live out in the open. If they're closeted but supportive, leave them alone. But Mike isn't targeting the closeted supportive politicians so go for it and don't stop with just one!
I noticed one thing about this: Republicans and Conservatives tend to attack Mike Rogers using the anonymous messages.
Hey fags, have some balls by identifying who you are! Or go get some drinks at JR's for all I care!
R-
The only person it could be is John Ensign (R-NV), who's up for re-election this year (I can only assume that's why you're bringing this up now and not waiting later). He couldn't vote for the filibuster today because he was in that car accident, so that would be why Michael didn't threaten him today, but he is expected to vote tomorrow. One would assume that Michael would out the likes of Santorum, Hatch, Lott, etc., whenever he had proof. Also, while Michael says he would out anyone who voted for Alito and FMA, he would have no problem outing anyone who previously voted for the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) as well. All of the other married male GOP Senators up for re-election this year voted for DOMA (Talent as a Congressman, the rest as Senators), except George Allen (VA Governor at the time, plus since he's a frontrunner GOP prez candidate, Michael would have outed him already if he had proof) and Ensign, who was a Congressman at the time but did not cast a vote.
Ridor they always do that. Most of the people who post anonymously here and attack Michael are the same ones sitting behind their keyboards and monitors rooting for the EYE RACK EEE war, all the while too chickenshit to actually volunteer themselves while they fatten up their asses eating the same brand of cheap Ding Dongs that two of their heroes eat (Jonah "Doughy Pantload" Goldberg and his mother "Jobba The PizzaHutt"). Oh dear, did I just do an ad hominem attack there? Oh well, all's fair and all that...
I'm curious, does anyone here think it was wrong for the newspaper in Washington State to out the closeted Mayor West who was a vicious enemy of the gay community while trying to get into the pants of 18 yr old boys??
Angry Citizen, I think he should've been outted just for being a vicious self-loathing queen who apparently hated gays and lesbians. Now the other thing, he should go to jail if the kids were under 18, and also if he threatened/blackmailed them somehow to have sex if they were 18+ years old.
Mike's work on several other outing efforts have demonstrated that he doesn't make idle threats. Often.
The congressman in Virginia retired rather than fight the news. The problem was that no national media paid attention. There remains a conspiracy of silence in the media, which is cowed by the right wing.
Dreier, Melman and others have a free pass on this which allows them to avoid questions of their lack of integrity demonstrated by their utter hypocrisy.
Mike needs to find a way of forcing the world to pay attention. Very difficult. While the media in the Senator's home state will pay attention, the TV networks, the New York Times or the Washington Post will not. And yet all too often, that's where our national discussion begins. I don't know how to change it, though there are surely people who do. Even if you march up and down Pennsylvania Avenue with poster pictures of him with his dick out being sucked off by a rent boy, the media would ignore it. No question. His wife would prefer to avoid the scandal. Evidence will get him out of the race, as with the Virginia guy, but alone will not provoke the national discussion of the grotesque hypocricy of the Republican party.
Gee, people don't take the gay community seriously?
Can't figure out why.
The left --- you can tell they REALLY hate you when they call you a fag, right?
Oh Mike... you definitly got the right people pissed on this one. Look at how the trolls have come to "attack" if thats what you want to call it.
They should never have re-ignited the culture wars!
Out them all, and like the roaches they are, we can watch them scatter when the light turns on!
Love the rethugs outrage at picking on a gay Senator given their electoral strategy is based on increasing hate towards gays. I'ld out any queer senator voting against queer rights in a second. Why should out of the closet gays be the ones to pay for the self loathing of a closet case?
Only in the land of Bush could people who favor firing soldiers because they are gay scream blackmail about the concept of outing a gay-bashing Senator. Surely if the don't ask, don't tell, don't get caught, policy is appropriate to apply to gay men and women in the armed services it can be applied to those serving in the legislative body that enacted the policy into law to prevent Clinton from allowing all Americans to serve.
Personally, as a conservative, I say go ahead, out him. If he's cheating on his wife, he deserves what he gets. A Republican will most likely win his seat when the time comes, anyway. Of course, his kids will have to go through hell for a little while, as in, probably the rest of their lives, but that's what they get for being the progeny of someone who has a different opinion than you, right? Right?
I don't think many people who post here are truly aware of just how deep and wide this battle has become. And just how important blogActive has become in this battle.
These are dark times. We have Quislings in both the Republican and Democratic parties. And the most extreme factions of the Religious Right have a sympathetic ear in the White House.
The most obvious media, such as the New York Times, will ignore our stories only for as long as we allow them to ignore our stories.
Is it possible that gay men and women might willingly participate in a sit-in in front of the New York Times in Manhattan, or in front of the Associated Press offices in Washington, D.C.?
You have nothing to lose except your status as second-class citizens. Frighten the goddamn horses. You deserve to be free.
Yawn.
The only Senate water sport that really offends me is PISSING AWAY MY MONEY.
Stop doing that, and they can go down on sheep for all I care.
You're absolutely right -- it is a declaration of cultural war to oppose gay marriage. Whoever this senator is, he is shirking his Constitutional duty to support it -- in spite of the near certainty that a majority of his constituents oppose gay marriage by a significant margin too. He's a US Senator, damn it, and it's his job to coerce the people into positions they don't share.
But hey, you've got dirt, and you've gotta blackmail where you have the ability, right? Much better to spend your efforts there than to make an effort to persuade your countrymen to your point of view.
From the Buckle of the Bible Belt here:
I say out the f#ckers! I've been listening to Falwell's whine of "culture war" since 1980!
Bottom line; like we sez down hea': "if you stir the sh!t; you best be prepared to lick the spoon."
It's time for a can-o-whupass and some closet busting (Flash to image of Elian Gonzolez with a gun pointed at him.)
I will not sit in the back of the bus so some Senator or politician takes away my equal rights as a citizen of this country.
Every member of the GLBT and their supporters better have themselves prepared for November 2006 ~ 'cause the sh!t is goin' down: Alito in, Roberts in, Wiretapping = what ever the f#ck they want to calling it; Frist re-introduces "The Marriage Protection" amendment as a smoke screen.... and the beat goes on.
Keep up the good fight Mike ~ there are still some warriors out in the fields gather the troops.
And to the ney sayers, trolls and freepers ~ Mike never outs without hard evidence. te, he, he.
Please leave Lincoln Chaffee alone. He may be a closeted gay guy, but of the lot of Rethuglicans, he's been the most likely of our allies. Actually, he's better at times than Hillary.
By the way, if only I were 21 again, I'd go to Washington, meet and meat some hypocrites, get evidence, and immediately forward it to Michael.
By the way, here's the list of Democrapic traitors voting yes to end debate and stop the filibuster:
Democrats Yes
Akaka, Hawaii; Baucus, Mont.; Bingaman, N.M.; Byrd, W.Va.; Cantwell, Wash.; Carper, Del.; Conrad, N.D.; Dorgan, N.D.; Inouye, Hawaii; Johnson, S.D.; Kohl, Wis.; Landrieu, La.; Lieberman, Conn.; Lincoln, Ark.; Nelson, Fla.; Nelson, Neb.; Pryor, Ark.; Rockefeller, W.Va.; Salazar, Colo.
They must pay the price for this vote, i.e., out them (either from office or the closet or both)
Interesting post, the National review has an interesting response from section 22-3252 of the District of Columbia Code:
(a) A person commits the offense of blackmail, if, with intent to obtain property of another or to cause another to do or refrain from doing any act, that person threatens:
(1) To accuse any person of a crime;
(2) To expose a secret or publicize an asserted fact, whether true or false, tending to subject any person to hatred, contempt, or ridicule; or
(3) To impair the reputation of any person, including a deceased person.
(b) Any person convicted of blackmail shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or both.
This type of stuff is what lost you my mother who voted Demorcratic in every election since 1948.
Until you can convince the majority that you are correct and that you deserve power again, you aren't going to get it. Acting in this way doesn't cut it, but go ahead if you want. Personally I think a game of Pinball is a better way to vent.
hmmm the here republicans are already blowing their gaskets, pun most certainly intended. As always they miss the point entirely.
This is just slimey to be honest. I'm a Dem, I'm furious about what happened, but unless someone is honest about their own sexuality and is a hypocrite, then this kind of outing and threatening is frankly, pretty gross.
If you are basing this on rumours with no proof and no SWORN proof then it's just stupid. And even if the person did do this, it's still pretty damned sleazy. This just isn't right. And besides, if you wanted to pressure someone then do it all the way, rather than basing it on vague threats. WE lost the vote. What good will this do now? WHAT POSSIBLE GOOD DOES THIS DO? Put up or shut up.
Only one?
C'mon, Mike, it's GOTTA be MORE!
You morons better think long and hard about this...makeing threats to a sitting US Senator is a crime. Damn how unhinged can you people become.
Dude,
Thanks ever so much for confessing to felony blackmail, conspiracy and attempted extortion (the NRO guy missed a few relevant statutes) before such a wide audience. I've archived your webposts, and forwarded them to the relevant authorities.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Freeper
Your Friendly Neighborhood Freeper
What happened to that liberal tolerance and respect for civil freedoms? Oh, wait. The cancer of communism, even relapsing in South America today, cheered on by leftists all around the world shows us where their true values lie.
I hope you enjoy pursuing your gay lifestyle in prison.
Dear DUNCE who runs this blog, Thanks for putting your address on the opening page... sure will make it easier for the FBI to find you this morning...Hahahaha!
LMAO!!!!
I also have breaking news. I have gained information that several senators, although they were once fetuses themselves, now openly advocate the mass slaughter of fetuses. I will publicize the names of these senators unless they promise to have gay sex with each other, thus setting up another glorious round of blackmailing from half wits.
More hot rumors: Apparently, there are some senators that, while favoring taxes against the rich, are actually very rich themselves and hide their tax money in sub-S corporations and various other shelters. If these senators do not promise to join my baseball roto league, I will out them all. Oh the hypocrisy!
What I find so interesting about the comments on this site is that only the individuals on the left feel the need to resort to meaningless expletives to add power to their arguments. One person suggested that a lack of basic education was the reason for the rise of conservatism in American, but the conservatives, whether they post anonymously or not, are the ones capable of making a statement without peppering it with four-letter words.
As for me, I support Judge (now JUSTICE) Alito, the DOMA and other legislation that is aimed at protecting traditional families. As a gay, Roman Catholic, who struggles every day to avoid the temptations that confront me, I know it's difficult for people to deal with the fact that "gay lifestyles" are harmful to children, families and communities.
It's a difficult row we have to hoe. We can either submit to our baser instincts and hope that everything we have been taught by Christian religions is wrong, that God doesn't care and that we can "do whatever feels good" because God loves everyone, or we can accept that, while God is a merciful God, he's also a just God. He will expect us to answer for our actions, good and bad.
It is we, in choosing to ignore his commandments, that separate ourselves from Him, not the other way around.
If you spent more time trying to engage people in your ideas, trying to explain where perceptions are wrong and where your ideas are right, you may win elections. If the best you can do to you opposition is to insult and villify them, you will never succeed. Of course, when likening someone to you is considered an insult, you start from a bad position.
More hot rumors: Sources tell me that there is a senator out there woh believes driving teenage girls into lakes and leaving them to drown in Buicks should be a crime. Unfortunately, this senator committed that very crime some years ago! Mr. Senator, if you do not deliver the maltese falcon by midnight, I will expose your horrible secret, and once the people find out, the only way you'll ever be able to gain reelection is if all the people in your state are pure, A-1 knuckleheads. Hypocrisy! HA HA HA!
Mark: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Michael, if you do this you are going to ruin bathroom cruising for people like commenters Mark and Keith forever!!!! Please think of what you are doing.
The keepers of the Wikipedia entry for Muhammad do not allow a picture to be associated with it.
Looking through the history it appears that several people have tried to put an tried to add a picture to the entry, but it gets deleted immediately. See the discussion about the "controversy" here.
The image (though removed from the article) still exists in Wikipedia's image archive here.
Should they be forced to remove this image?
Another rumor: There is a blogger on the internet that believes racism, homophobia and various other parochial beliefs is bad. That's not news, but wait: he once said he believes all gay people should represent [their] own... it's the least [they] could do." When this kind of gender stereotyping hits the blogosphere, the cries of hypocrisy will flow like KY Jelly at a homosexual house party. Mr. Blogger, if you do not sing "I'll Do Anything for Love" by Meatloaf while gurgling cherry flavored Capri Sun, I will out this hypocrisy to the entire internet. Hypocrisy!
In response to Aaron: Thanks, apparently I win.
I think it's Ted Kennedy. Oh wait he's on your side already...my bad.
In response to Keith: Enjoy the spoils of victory, mate.
Aaron: Thanks. That's very charitable of you.
What the hell are you waiting for, Mike?? OUT HIM NOW! This is the opportune time. It's not as if we can't still refer to it when the guy's up for re-election.
How pompous they get, Mike. And all threatening, too. As if you were the same stripe of coward they all are.
Take care, my friend, and watch your back.
Put me in a witness box.... Please let me raise my right hand, affirm to tell the truth, the whole truth and NOTHING but teh truth -- ON the record, in a court room transcript. BRING IT ON!
Well, Michael, since your hero Bill Clinton saw no need to actually uphold that same oath, I don't think most Americans will accept your claim without independent evidence to back it up.
Out the motherfucker no matter how he votes!
out the motherfucker when the time is right, mike. you rock.
Whoa! These righter wingers are really freaking out. And all of you with the comments of "you better have evidence" obviously haven't followed this blog before--as that is precisely what Mike will have. As for Keith, I feel sorry for your tortured being. Free yourself from that catholic baloney like I did. Religion is simply another political mechanism to control poor folks like you.
Go, Mike! And, ooooh, I'm sure you are scared of the FBI coming after you!
Where do you guys get off claiming the right to speak for all gay people? (And that is what you are doing). Your blackmail is no better than someone elses duplicty. You're an asshole.
You guys are just too funny.
Every time you empty-headed radical left-wing nuts try to smear your political foes you lose two, not one, vote(s). One voter abandons the Lack of Ideas Dimocrat Party for the RIGHT side of the ledger.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!
~(Ä)~
The one who is "anonymous" hasn't the guts to reveal his/her name? He probably is a closeted bigot.
I say this little lickspittle should just spill his information and be done with it. What does anyone have to fear?
But then, you don't actually have anything. Do you, MR?
What a pathetic little clown.
Ah David...
You know, I really pity people whose lives are so empty, so devoid of any greater meaning, that they feel the need to attack and slander religions.
In fact, David, I did turn my back on my Church, for twenty years. I decided that the Church was wrong to condemn me for what I am.
After twenty years of misery thinking that my pleasure was all that mattered, I returned to the faith in 2005 and my life has been better every day since.
I am not tortured, I am challenged. I know it's very hard for people with such an empty worldview to understand challenge, but I do. I don't look at the tension in my life as a bad thing, but as a gift. How many people live lives that lack any great challenge, anything to overcome.
Instead, God gives me the grace and strength to overcome every day. God has taught me, that in spite of that fact that I don't condone what you do in bed, that doesn't mean that I think you are an evil person. There is nothing I would like more than to be at the Paschal banquet with everyone who posts here.
I know that we disagree. Some of those disagreements come from deeply held convictions. Some of us, myself included, believe that there are fundamental, concrete morals that are immutable. Others embrace a culture or moral relativism. In those instances, we will never reach an understanding. However, there is no reason for either side to resort to name calling, insults or threats.
On other issues, we see the same needs, we differ on the way to achieve those needs. In those instances, it's incumbent on both sides to be civil and try to deal with those questions.
Regardless, I do hope that your life finds a meaning beyond yourself. If you already have, please forgive my ignorance and presumption. I merely expressed my opinion on the basis of past experience with people who have expresed the same sentiments.
God bless.
Right on, Mike. Bring that shit.
We Democrats must demand that when Bush nominates replacements for Stevens, Ginsberg and Souter that the nominee only be confirmed if the nominee commits to upholding our fundamental constitutional rights to bestiality and interspecies marriage.
Mike
Good for you - I am still amazed (and mention this frequently in discussions with Democratic members of the Senate) that there were 4 gay and lesbian members of the US Senate when it passed DOMA and ALL 4 VOTED IN FAVOR OF DOMA!
Your work has amazing effects - not only did David Dreier finally oppose a homophobic piece of legislation after you outed him (he voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment last time) but also, depsite being designation by Denny Hastert to be the acting majority leader in the US House after Delay stepped away, the Republican caucus revolted - I guess they read the blogs also and had no desire to be led by a gay man. Thanks to your efforts, Dreier paid a high price for his hypocrisy. Keep on going Mike - you're a hero!
Okay, let me get this straight.
Rogers raises a GOP outing possibility (and I don't mean a picnic) and that triggers
--attacks on him
--attacks on gays
--attacks on liberals
--attacks on Democrats
Seems like a bit of an over-reaction, dontcha think?
What are y'all afraid of? The smartest thing would be to ignore the site entirely if you thought so little of it and its claims. Silent contempt. Instead, you go ballistic.
In-ter-esting, ver-ry in-ter-esting.
more power to you Mike. The volume of responses, and the vitriolics only prove the power of exposing this hypocrisy. I'm tired of being polite and having the entire gay community being used as a wedge issue to scare people into voting against their own best interests. And yes, these are very dark times. This administration thinks it can only win by scaring people - truly a fascist tactic for anyone who knows their history. And someone SHOULD PLEASE organize the DC callboys, complete with hidden video cameras and microphones. We need our own Sugar Daddy version of Linda Tripp and a willing publisher. We didn't start this culture war, but we'll sure as hell finish it!
Hey Scoop...nobody cares.
Despite the fact that little Mikeys threat is extortion and illegal, I think it's hillarious that the Democrats are SO desperate that they're willing to employ a tool (no pun intended) like Michael whats-his-face (who is this clown?) to do their smearing for them. Gee, a closet gay Republican Senator, wow. He must be the first. Ever. And, crickets...Hey Mike, if you're really interested in doing something good for the Gay community - stop making Gay's look like idiots.
Nice to see Dems live in the gutter. Wasn't it President Clinton who decried the "politics of personal destruction?"
There is no upper road for the modern left to take.
You all have reduced yourselves too far.
Hell of a positive message there, I'm sure your going to win all kinds of elections this way.
Dirtbags.
Via National Review's The Corner:
As set forth on Lexis - Nexis, section 22-3252 of the District Columbia Code provides:
(a) A person commits the offense of blackmail, if, with intent to obtain property of another or to cause another to do or refrain from doing any act, that person threatens:
(1) To accuse any person of a crime;
(2) To expose a secret or publicize an asserted fact, whether true or false, tending to subject any person to hatred, contempt, or ridicule; or
(3) To impair the reputation of any person, including a deceased person.
(b) Any person convicted of blackmail shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or both.
It appears the author of the BlogActive post has threatened, with "intent to . . . cause another to do or refrain from doing any act," to "expose a secret or publicize an asserted fact, whether true or false, tending to subject any person to hatred, contempt, or ridicule."
I'm assuming the D.C. Code applies because the BlogActive website lists a D.C. post office box for contributions.
Of course, whether the legal definition of blackmail has been satisifed, that was clearly the intention of the threat.
It is rather pathetic that you can't influence anyone with valid ideas and have to resort to shrill threats, but I guess this is just oen more bulletpoint showing that radicals on the far left are completely devoid of anything at all constructive.
How's Howard Dean doing these days?

I read recently where the term douchebag may be going out of style. Having read this little bit of childish blackmail, I think you are poised to give it new life.
The power you think you have will end up burning you too, and I hope it hurts when it happens.
They just don't seem to ever understand:
The VAST majority of Americans are decent, hard-working people who deplore the constant smear tactics employed by the Democrat Party.
Have you ever wondered where was the N.O.W. while BillyJeff's hit man Little Jimmy Carville was slandering Paula Jones, etc., etc., etc. ??
Naaaaaaaaaaa. Because slimy people get their little pleasures from such machinations. How sadly pathetic.
BUT NOT FOR THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS !!
Ever time you little whiny weeners act in such ways, the GOP picks up voters and votes.
BUT YOU STILL HAVEN'T FIGGERED IT OUT AND WE LOVE IT !!

If you want to out someone because of their vote on cloture or on Alito's confirmation, you should announce the Senators name while this fight is still in the news. In a few months the story might end up being about what your motivation is.
Good Work Mike!
WHAT!? Another Senator who is into sodomizing! Fire his ass! The gay lifestyle is sickening. You will be doing America a huge favor by letting his 'extra curricular activities' be known.
It doesn't matter whether he's Republican or Democrat. It matters that he's engaging in this sick, perverted gratification while in office.
Contrary to popular belief, America does not like nor will it accept the gay lifestyle. Ever. I say, go for it.
The comments of the Rethugs here are truly an example of hypocrisy exposed and "IOIYAR". You're all up in arms over this but we never hear a peep from over the Swiftboating of Kerry, Murtha or McCain, the Clintons, the ‘Left’, the Gays.
Coulter, Malkin, O'Reilly are quite popular in your circles and they have made a living with this kind of dreck. Don't you ever try to lecture us about morality without cleaning up your act first.
You're presented with a page out of your own playbook. You've perfected this into an artform, enjoy the spectacle. Hypocrites
You are doing excellent work... the outraged neocons posting here are proof you're effective.
I say, don't delay, out that gay-bashing fag today.

It *is* very entertaining to watch the right wingnuts lose their shit while watching the left do something they (the right)invented themselves. I stand highly amused.
Boy you people are perverts. Always interested in what other people are doing with their sex lives, and always fixated on sex parts and seedy bathrooms and stuff.
Now excuse me while I take a shower after reading a bit of this garbage (no peeking!!) and watch the Alito confirmation vote.
if this is the Senator from Californial, we already know about him...
BLACKMAIL by any other name is still blackmail.
You are saying, "Vote as I want, or I'll ruin you."
Tha'ts blackmail. Simple.
I won't agree with Willem that the right started this behavior. I will, however, agree that the right has signed on to this.
However, going back to the 90's, opposing political sides have had members who will sink to the lowest level to defeat an opponent.
Did I mention that was the 1790s? Aaron Burr didn't go the prison for killing Alexander Hamilton because they disagreed on management of the Bank of the United States. Burr published dreck in a Washington rag that accused Hamilton of having an affair with a married woman. Hamilton challenged Burr to a duel and, well, the rest is history.
To a degree, this type of mudslinging has been with us since the beginning of the Republic. That said, the left, commencing in 1981 with the election of Ronald Reagan and reaching its peak in the 1987 treatment of Robert Bork and the 1991 treatment of Clarence Thomas, made this kind of thing a part of their standard playbook.
Both sides are reaping a whirlwind of hate. Both sides have put hate above policy, hate above principle and hate above debate. Hate drives extremists on both side. While we hate one another, we open our nation to the hate of others to everyone's detriment.
I love watching liberals gay-bait. Off the rails is too kind for where you find yourself.
Congratulations, Justice Alito!
The conservative nutcases' knickers are really in a twist about this! Out him and you're a "McCarthyite," or you're "anti-gay," or whatever, when the fact is that some sick psychotic closeted faggot is yet again working for the GOP and harming gay people. Did others see the reports showing that Republican supporters are more likely to be racists? Racist and anti-gay sums so many of them up, so tear those closet doors off their hinges and out all the sick closeted faggots! Let them all have their own public "Brokeback" moment. And closeted Republican queers, just remember, wife or no wife, had Alito been on the court instead of O'Connor, and had Kennedy not startedt to move away from his right-wing past, "Lawrence v. Texas" might not have been decided the way it was and even you could be jailed for sucking dicks in Union Station or whatever dank, dark spot you can find to get your rocks off. Sick and pathetic. Out them all!
Oh and another thing---
If Ann Coulter is gay, I will be first in line volunteering to cure her.
It's the least I can do for y'all.
What ever happened to, "let us not become the evil that we deplore"??
I understand your reasoning, but VERY MUCH despise your tactics. Don't stoop to their level.
why have we lost sight of why politicians - representatives - exist? they are supposed to represent us, the citizens, in government. they're supposed to express the views of their constituents, and vote in the interest of their constituents on matters before congress or the senate. that's the minimum of their responsibilities, and if they fail to do that, then they should be gone.
so the matter of "blackmail vs accountability" depends largely on who this person is, or represents.
if he's voting based on his personal views or for political expediency, then expose him. if he's accurately representing his constituents, it's blackmail.
end of discussion.
"The only person it could be is John Ensign (R-NV), who's up for re-election this year (I can only assume that's why you're bringing this up now and not waiting later)."
Well, he was rear-ended Monday.
Alito is CONFIRMED.
I do so like the 'we learned it by watching you' defense, especially when the differences in action are so clear to anyone with a moral compass worth a shit. Let me explain it for the slow. The bad behavior listed as coming from Republicans by some of you lacks the extra legal status that would make it near equivalent. In other words, blackmail is an actual felony.
You all defending this action as I described are part of the reason why the people keep giving the left the finger come election time. Lest you forget, this country forgives adulterers, even gay ones. We learned that one by watching our creator.
Why are these nasty, mean and vitriolic straight people doing hanging around this web site?
If they are so hot for truth, fair play and abiding by the law, why don't they demand the same of Bush, Gonzales, etc. and also demand that Rove stop his baiting tchniques!
Sheesh!
did Chaffee just effectively out himself?
Bullshit to all those crying about blackmail. I don't care if it's blackmail. It's just desserts as well, and make no mistake, everyone I know is sick and fucking tired of the hypocritical religious bullshit. The holy rollers never seem to remember that the pendulum always swings back, just be sure it doesn't hit you in your armegeddon loving head on its way. Just remember that sooner or later there is gonna be a democrat in the oval office and he is gonna use all those extra-legal powers to try and destroy you religious kooks and guess what? It'll be your fucking fault for keeping quiet in the first place. Nutbags.
Sling away blog brother, expose this hypocritical motherfucker I say. To the barricades!
This blog is interesting in several different veins. First, it is a gay person trying to erase the stigma of being gay while simultaneously capitalizing on the stigma of being gay. Secondly, it is an attempt to directly coerce a politician's vote- a federal crime. Finally, it is presented without any evidence whatsoever and bigots accept it as gospel.
It will be interesting to see what comes of this. I predict that the poster will slink back into oblivion.
Oh and...
Ha ha. If this is blackmail, then Dobson should be doing a life sentence for blackmailing the entire Republican party into shitting on sanctity of marriage during the Schiavo debacle among thousands of other examples of right wing blackmail.
All right, get those fucking fags back in the swish closet, where those queer cocksuckers belong. GodDamn, that's right, GODHATESFAGS! I'm so glad I found this website, one that puts the shame back in butt piracy, where we can call a shrimper a shrimper and throw his polesmoking pussyboi ass back on the fence with that little assfag Matt. Yeehaw, I'm so glad that fagbashing is back, I kind of missed a little of the ultraviolence on skinfluters, who should be ashamed of their strumpery before God, because GODHATESFAGS!!!
Oh, if he's a Democrate, please disregard the above message.
Jeez, Mike........looks like all the bugs have come out of the wood work....I say nail him to the cross.
Keith:
Tortured? You must be one of those Opus Dei guys.
Thanks for the usual "I'm not perfect, just forgiven" condescending declaration that because I don't huddle in a controlling religious entity like the catholic church (with its Pope Prada and his first assistant Father Gucci) that my worldview is "empty."
You can click back over to Justice Sunday any time now.
David,
To set the record straight, you called me tortured, not the other way around. 
I am not, as you suggest, "...one of those Opus Dei guys." I've never even met one of them, to my knowledge.
I never declared that I was forgiven. It's not for me to decide if I am forgiven or not.
I wasn't being condescending, I was being honest, something that we don't get much these days. I honestly think its sad when people are convinced that, in their own mind, they know more than institutions that have been in existence for a very, very long time.
I do find it ironic that someone who is quick to attack the Catholic Church as a "...controlling religous entity..." Immediately embraces the Government and the Supremem Court as an entity of great virtue when they impose law without the voice of the governed.
I remind you that the US is established on the consent of the governed. Judicial fiat, be it Roe v. Wade or the MA State declaring "gay marriage" constitutional when 70% of the "governed" are in opposition is nothing more than a "controlling political entity."
Reading this thread has been very entertaining.
Until recently, I was an independent voter, and voted for the candidate that appealed to me, in whichever election I was voting in.
I almost can't imagine voting for a Democrat ever again. You people have gone crazy.
You're not making gay people look to good, either.
Try making a principled argument. If you are not articulate enough, but still feel your point is valid, hire someone to do it for you.
That's rich. Accusing liberals of being homophobes. All it takes to get a Republican to suddenly claim to give a rat's ass about gay rights is when one of his own is about to get outed. Not that he actually cares about gay rights, but it could have political consequences. That's what matters. Don't insult our intelligence with your feigned concern about ethics. We're not as stupid as the people who vote for Republicans.
Gay people never look good. They look sickly.
It's really very simple if you think about it. Whether conservative or liberal, special interest groups go out of their way to support/oppose legislators. Keep on talking like you do, Mr. Pat Robertson. You're making the case that nothing is out of bounds when opposing an opponent.
If the self-hating closet queens in Congress and state legislatures want to continue hiding their identities, all the while voting to restrict, if not take away completely, the rights of another American, then it's time to hand them over to the American Inquisition. Name their names. Simple. The "god-fearing" people will be more than happy and eager to pick up the torch and burn them at the stake for us.
P.S. Why don't you "anonymous" posters leave your email? Show a little backbone to go along with your opinion.
Well, Alito is in. I guess it's time for you to put your money where your mouth is. Personally, I don't agree with your tactics and if it's not illegal (blackmail) then it is definitely unethical.
So, I guess it's time for you to destroy another human being's life. I hope you sleep well at night.
Keith:
I've got it all wrong: you are a comedian aren't you!
Belief in the catholic church because it is a long-standing institution? It was standing for quite some time when they declared Galileo an heretic. The examples are legion (legion, that's a concept your longstanding institution likes).
When are you going to be on a Comedy Channel special? Great material!
gay conservative = asshole. out him, mike.
Would that be the Senator who's wife is a Cabinet Secretary?
Wait...I thought *Republicans* were the ones who were gay-bashing hate-mongers.
What's all this, then?
Unfortunately, David, you are grossly uninformed, so debating you would be an exercise in futility.
Rather than do any real research, you have accepted as (if you will pardon the pun) gospel all of the negative things you've been told about the Catholic Church throughout history.
You won't, I suspect, admit that the Church was the sole guardian of western knowledge through the Dark Ages. You won't, I suspect, acknowledge that the Catholic Church never subscribed to any flat-Earth theories. You won't, I suspect, acknowledge that the Church had already convened an Eccumenical Council to address the very abuses that Martin Luther opposed. You won't admit any of this because it doesn't fit your view or religion in general and the Catholic Church in particular as being the root of all evil.
In fact, there have been abuses in the Church. I don't deny them. I wish they hadn't happened, but with every one, attempts have been made to correct them.
The most recent scandal is one you probably won't want to discuss. It has been limited almost exclusively to the United States. It has been much more limited than those enemies of the Church would have you believe. It has also been the result of a cult of homosexuality in the priesthood. Seminarians have been pressured to engage in homosexual acts. Men who have never intended to subscribe to dogma or doctrine have become priests and abused their positions. Of course, this must be the fault of the Church, no? Forceing priests to be celibate (there are SO man young women claiming that they were abused) must be the cause. Not allowing gay men to become priests (but wait, these are gay men who have become priests) must be the cause.
Of course there are gay priests, very good gay priests. There are, I have no doubt, many gay men who found that the priesthood has given them the fulfillment they need. They have been, and continue to be, important members of their community. This is not, however, because they are gay. It's because they are good priests. It is in SPITE of the fact that they are gay.
lol one of the nazis wants ann coulter.
she has a penis, you closet case.
enjoy!
Keith:
I was wrong again. You really are just a homosexual who is a self loathing homophobe.
I have no problem talking about the catholic churches scandal in which rather than dealing openly with an issue of sexuality it simply ignored the issue, and the unfortunate victims of the issues symtoms.
But it is of no use to reason with someone who is self-hating about something that touches on the very essence of who they are.
So as you would say: God Bless you, and good bye!

Let's see ...
There's the right-wing Republican Senator from a mountain state who settled a sexual harassment suit with
a male staffer.
And there's the moderate Republican from the Midwest who's been in the Senate forever.
Not that there aren't some Democrats who might be suspect, too ...
As a straight, pro-gay guy, I have no problem with the outing of homophobic politicians who are gay.
It's about the hypocrisy. These politicians are contemptible, not because they are gay, but because they are part of the Hate Machine.
Just waiting for the shoes to drop
...
Its not illegal or unethical to out republicans who are closet cases.
the gop is going to use the anti gay marriage amendment again this year to sway voters and keep the house. its an effective red herring issue.
thats unethical as hell.
out this bastard now, please!
Last comment and then I'll leave it alone, and only because some still seem not to 'get it'. While I would have found the outing of a closeted gay man against his wishes an objectionable act, at least that would have been preferable to the tactic being employed here.
On the one hand, there is the truth, if it is that, which is being exposed, however unfortunate. The exposer is acting as judge, which is unfortunate, but perhaps not overly so. On the other there is the promise of the continuation of a lie for a payment with the judgment still present. It's not exactly hard math.
I don't mind hardball. I especially do not mind hardball against hypocrites. The MOST effective tool to use against hypocrites IS the actual substance of their hypocrisy. So, I support outing hypocrites who make noise against something only to be "guilty" of that same something through and through.
It is best to time the outing(s) at a time when it would be well nigh impossible for the party to find a credible replacement. The opponent must receive an insurmountable advantage due to both the facts of the outing AND the timing of the outing.
The bitter irony in all of this is the intolerance and rigidity of your ideology. How are you different than those you oppose?
Hey, allendrury:
I hope you achieve the right to marry as you wish. I hope that a person's sexual identity becomes no more of a public issue than their preferred copulative position. I find discrimination based on affectional preference to be every bit as rational, and fair, as discrimination based on nose size. And I vote R every time.
Point is, reaction to this kind of tactic isn't always based on homophobia. Sometimes it's just a visceral recognition of, and disgust at, slime.
being strongly gay-rights, I support the right of the homosexual to keep his sexual orientation a secret.
if you're pro-gay-rights but think it's okay if he's outed, you're a hypocrite.
if you're anti-gay-rights, you're an imbecile.
so --- anonymous sez 'win an election'
what are you talking about ????
Repuglicans haven't WON any recent presidential elections ---
You mean STEAL an election, through rigged voting, dienfranchising voters & political brouhaha...
You Repuglicans are gonna go down in flames through your own corruption, scandals & other scum suckin crap that comes so naturally to people whose only concerns are money and power.
Like a closeted politician is any news?
I agree with your outing policy and voting in favor of the FMA definitely qualifies someone as a target for outing. But voting for Alito? That alone is not a good enough reason. If the senator voted against the FMA, we should give him/her a break.
Gabriel, you need a "good enough reason" to tell the truth? Because it's the truth isn't good enough for you?
Oh, wait -- I forgot: being gay is a horrible, unspeakable thing.
The values of some people...
I just love how the all the rightwing nuts out there forget what was done to President Clinton over a str8 blowjob. Hell yes out the traitor bastard!!! Dems have been the "kinder, gentler" party for too damn long...all we get from our compassion is a kick in the teeth. Let's get down in the mud with these bullies and FIGHT!
Whne you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.
GayGreg, sit down. What are you going to fight with? Fake nails and blue eyeshadow? Please.
Keith, I do feel sorry for you. It's fine that you want to remain committed to the Catholic Church. It's unfortunate that you can't be true to yourself. It's doesn't have to be a black and white issue. You don't have to sleep around with every guy, and you don't have to be celibate. Why not try to find a meaningful relationship. Frankly, it is no different than the straight married Catholics who are comfortable with their sexuality, but still want to have sex without having 20 kids (i.e., use birth control), which is forbidden in the Church. Just a suggestion. But it's your choice, and you can go on making believe that everything is okay, and suppress the God given gift of your sexuality. And when you say something like a good gay priest is good in SPITE of being gay, it does sound a tad self-loathing.
As for outing, I have gone back and forth on this issue. With regards to the hypocritical closet cases who continually vote anti-gay and/or spew anti-gay speech, I don't see why one should be worried about their privacy. The fact is they have little or no regard for the millions of people that they attempt to take away rights from. The problem is where to draw the line. I don't know if Mike's criteria is the correct one. In fact, I don't think anyone could come up with a good line. And even if you did, I don't think that outing is effective. In other words, if we find out that a pathetic closet case is gay, I don't see how that helps us. Who would want to be associated with such a person.
Regarding blackmail, I assume Mike has consulted a lawyer to determine whether or not his actions are illegal.
Regarding politicians or celebrities who want to stay in the closet. Keep in mind that exposing hypocrisy is here to stay. Now sexual orientation has entered the fray. So whether outing is right or wrong, I would suggest to those want to remain in the closet to stay celibate, if their position of power or fame is that important to them, especially those who feel the need to be anti-gay.
George Deeming:
You believe that any election that a Republican wins is stolen (the only truly verifiably stolen presidential election in history was the 1960 election of JFK. Illinois was fixed.)
GWB, like it or not, received MORE votes that Bill Clinton in both 2000 and 2004. In fact, Bill Clinton NEVER received a majority.
That, however, is not germaine. The Presidential Election rules are VERY clearly spelled out. Prior to the election (you Gore supporters may not remember this) GORE was actually pointing out the Electoral College rule. His internal polling showed that he was going to take the college but might lose the popular vote.
The situation in Bush/Gore wasn't even unique. Both in 1824 (Adams won only 30% of the popular vote) and in 1888 (PResident Cleveland out polled Benjamin Harrision 48.6 to 47.
. The only thing that was unique was that the Democrats tried to change the rules after the fact. Gore and Co tried to changed the established rules for "determining intent" in a select number of Democrat stronghold counties. The Supreme Court (7-2) struck down the recount strategy and (5-4) ended the recounts.
There is no basis to the claims that anything happened in Ohio (Bush carried the state by 118,601 votes). This is just a conspiracy theory because people don't like losing close elections. It's based on a claim that Kerry's exit polling showed he was going to win. Exit polling in infamously inaccurate.
If you want to win elections, you need to get out of places like this and listen to the American people. 70% of Americans oppose gay marriage, however, very few advocate any kind of violence against gay people. The Democrats remain wedded to this as an issue when most Americans are against them.
67% of Americans SUPPORT limitations to abortion. Yet, the Democrats insist on making abortion a litmus test for the Supreme Court.
A recent poll showed that 2-1 Americans are opposed to judges imposing law, rather than elected officials enacting law. Yet the Democrats, realizing that their legislative agenda is far out of the mainstream, insist on creating a "Judocracy" to eliminate dissent from the party line.
This is why the Dems are losing elections. Moveon.org, the DailyKos and Howard Dean are the reason you are being marginalized.
By 1992 lots of folks back here in WI knew then Sen. Kasten (R) was into boys, and that sure pissed off the GOP in the state. Lets out these guys and see how the rank and file in the GOP, who love to burn crosses, carry the knowledge with them in an election year!
This IS fun!!!!!! BRING IT ON!!!!
What I don't get is why somebody who practices gay sex should automatically be for gay marriage. Marriage takes guys off the market, right? Why support something that reduces the pool of possible dates?
I'm straight, and if somebody suggested outlawing straight marriage, I'd be all for it!
You guys need to think about what you really want, sex or marriage. Because believe me, it's one or the other.
Thank God that O'Connor is no longer around the Supreme Court to defecate on the United States Constitution. You can bet your ass that Justice Alito will not declare bestiality and interspecies marriage "fundamental constitutional rights."
Pat,
Thanks, that's a nice sentiment, but I don't agree with you. You can't be a little pregnant, and you can't be Catholic without accepting the doctrine and dogma. John Kerry isn't a Catholic. He's a guy who says he's a Catholic.
I don't have a problem with people wanting to use birth control or live by any other set of rules they want. I have a problem with people claiming that they're Catholic.
You can't be Catholic and pro-choice. The two are mutually exclusive. Same for being a practicing homosexual or divorced or using abortifactant or barrier birth control. It's against the rules. Don't like the rules, I hear the Episcopals have room.
What I don't get is why somebody who practices straight sex should automatically be for straight marriage. Marriage takes girls off the market, right? Why support something that reduces the pool of possible dates?
I'm gay, and if somebody suggested outlawing divorce, I'd be all for it!
You guys need to think about what you really want, sex or marriage. Because believe me, it's one or the other.
I'd check with an attorney first Mikey. Seriously, it would be the most prudent thing to do before you go getting yourself into trouble.
Disgusting. No wonder the left is losing power--and thank God it is.
You will get a donation from me when you post the name.
To those of you that are adamant that this amounts to extortion, you will have to tell us who is being extorted to shift the debate. Personally, I am in favor of outing anyone in public office as Repubicans and Conservatives have oft reminded us that "character" is the prevalent factor in choosing leaders. Bill Clinton lied about his blowjob and they screamed for impeachment. If we have a Senator lying about his blowjobs - both giving and receiving - I say bring him to the court of public opinion. See, in the case of Barney Frank, Democrats and progressives were accepting and forgiving. But, pity the Republican who is found out. He will be pilloried and exiled by Repugnants and Conservatives.
Wow, you're a fucking idiot. Way to advance our cause.
Right-wingers have spent decades using anti-gay hatred to twist election outcomes. Just look at the 2004 presidential race. It is hilarious to see how they freak out at the idea of gay people using the republican party's anti-gay hatred against republicans. Frist intends to stir up hatred again this year by trying to convince the public that gay people are out to destroy marriage. I suggest you out this guy on the same day Frist re-introduces the Federal Marriage Amendment.
So, what does this make you? Larry Flynt in drag? Idiot.
What does the Alito vote have to do with outing a Senator? Because you decided that the "gay" choice was to vote against Alito? That makes no sense. Really. Save it for something that matters.
"Why are these nasty, mean and vitriolic straight people doing hanging around this web site?"
Hmmmmmmmmm ...
Keep your friends close - your enemies closer!
hahahahahahahahahaha ...
Reading these left-wing whack-job posts is just too fucking funny to pass up.
Thanks for the chuckles, chuckers.

.
Is this US Senator the junior member from a sun-belt state? In the velvet corridors of his state capital there has been talk for years about a, perhaps this, married man.
yeah, it looks like this is a really interesting blog.. i'll have to come here more often.
But this threat seems completely fake. If it is true that you outed other congressmen in the past, then you are smart enough to understand the law and would already know that threatening Senators to get them to vote a certain way is a crime.
So... the only rational explanation is that the letter you displayed was never actually intended for any individual Senator and instead is used to excite your fans, anger the right, get more traffic to your site, etc. I'm not saying there isn't an element to your cause to scare all the closet Congressman out there, but I doubt you're threatening a specific individual. Otherwise, you'd be treading through dangerous legal waters..
Besides, the bit about the Union Station bathroom just sounds too crazy to be true. I imagine even George Michael would prefer a location less frequented by the public.
Hats off to you, though, cuz it looks like you're creating a lot of attention for yourself.
For those of you all concerned about possible 'blackmail', how would blackmail (if it really is that) be any different than when lobbyists offer tens of thousands of dollars to persuade senators and congressmen on various bills? Using force is not okay, but bribing them is somehow okay?
You Republicans are all morons.
You call this a crime, but what about YOUR crimes? Torture, treason in the White House, illegal wiretaps, lying to start an illegal war, a massive bribery scandal.
You neocon fascists can all go straight to Hell. You'll love it there, you can listen to Hitler.
My money says he never releases the name anyways. Anyone else calling his bluff?
This is a rule of law nation. when you transgress the law that is known as a crime. What the owner of this blog is doing is black-mail and a type of bribery. That is illegal. It doesn't matter who did what to whom.
I believe this is just a publicity stunt to gain traffic and increase readership. Why? Advertising on the site. Traffic pays.
The Union Station bathroom? Are you serious? The story would have more plausibility if you'd have left that part out.
It seems your story is falling into a MILLION LITTLE PIECES. Where's Oprah when you need her? eh?
Keith, why don't you try coming to a Metropolitan Community Church for help in becoming an ex-Catholic current Christian? That is, if you believe that God didn't make your sexuality as a birth defect.
Union Station? Is that one of the big junction metro stations in DC?
Love watching the right melting down over some hate-filled Senator getting outed...
Go get em Mike! Politically aware members of the GLBT community are supporting you on this...
And to the self-hating Catholic, damn dude, you are fucking PITIFUL! You've been drinking the Kool-Aid for too long... It's time to stop hating yourself, and start hating that "Church"...
Who said anything about anyone committing a crime? This guy should be outed if he is gay but votes against the gay community.
As for his family, if he has one, any problems that this causes for them is because of him and him alone.
Sad state of affairs. Most Republicans don't rightly care if someone is gay or straight. that's their business.
Democrats, however, are willing to throw everything at them if they have viewpoints that run counter to theirs, or if they are perceived to have strayed from the plantation of of "communities" and "minorities" that are chained to the party based on an enforced perception that they are downtrodden.
Keep playin' in the sewers, hope you find solace there. Out anyone you like, most people, at least on the Right, quite honestly do not care.
forcing someone to do something against their will by black-mailing them is a crime.
Theo - not trying to be rude or anything but are you really that stupid? You really can't see that a crime is being committed here? Seriously. Look it up if you have to. It's a crime.
"This guy should be outed if he is gay but votes against the gay community."
Stupid and small minded. Whoever he is, he is a Senator beholden to his state, not his sex life.
I think I like the "lick the spoon" line best...I'll have to remember that one...
Ya know, all these social-reactionaries who want to drive everyone back into the closet sure didn't have any issues screaming for news about the blue dress...of course, they just hate it when you turn their own dogs back on them...
Do it...do it often...
Despite all the faux outrage by righty trolls, the ethics are pretty simple: yes, it is wrong to randomly violiate private citizens' privacy - and that includes sexual activity*. It's quite different when you're dealing with people who are actively trying to target and harm you for certain private behaviors and activities they themselves engage in. It's called self-defense. We recognize it as a valid defense to a murder charge. Context counts and motive is everything.
*Of course, these same outraged conservatives are simultaneously cheering the confirmation of someone who is opposed to the Lawrence ruling - which grows out of Griswold and Roe - about which their constant refrain is, "Roe, Delenda Est". Fuck 'em...they don't get it both ways...live by the sword, die by the sword.
Well done, the trolls are freaking and that means you've hit the button.
Wonder how many of the trolls are in the closet...50%...75%?
Keep on yowling trolls, it'll make the announcement all that sweeter.
p.s. Someone forgot to add Condi to the list of GOP closet cases.
p.p.s. Yes, ManCoulter has a wang.
This is using the exact framework we are supposedly fighting against. Why is outing so successful? Because it engages a very negative prevailing belief in America about homosexuals being untrustworthy, not truthful, and shamed at the core. To use that is to buy into it.
I find it ironic that for weeks we have heard via discussions about Brokeback Mountain that Hollywood needs to represent gays in a more positive light. How is engaging the worst example of homophobia, that being perpetuating an untrue and negative sterotype by highlighting singular example, at all something to be be proud of?
Steve,
You make a fairly good point, but as long as hatred helps republicans get elected they will continue to use it. If this anti-gay hatred starts hurting republicans more than it hurts democrats maybe they will abandon it.
... we got us a gay Senator down here y'all... and in '09 his own party is going to out him before the primary to get an even crazier assed bastard into office... oy!
Listen up GLBT citizens! Many of you are still in the closet, many of you are still afraid of the bullies, many of you are too strung out on meth, many of you are just trying to make ends meet ~ but all of you who reside in the United States of America are about to become 2nd class citizens constitutionally. Fact. If we do not fight back with everything we've got we might as well pack it up.
I'm to old to be bullied and frightened by any of this crap. Like my daddy always reminded me: "If you're not prepared to die for the cause you will never win."
gosh..lots of anonymous responses to comments...I don't know an Anonymous. Where ya from hon or maybe HUN is the correct term...I think the anonymous is the point regarding Union Station and being in the closet. No homophobia here bud..I been out..way out...since 1964! So I do not usually stand still for lectures about homophobia, the horror of being outed.....and yes elections are the key...you want steal anymore..of that you can be assured.
oh yeah ...lectures on tolerance from you right wingers...save it. You are hardly in a position to talk about tolerance at any time to anyone.
Everyone seems too worried about the fate of these closet queens who need to be exposed. Honey, the Republican party is "the big tent." Dubya is "a uniter, not a divider." The self-loathing queers in government know who they are, and I'm sure their "illicit sexual proclivities" won't be a problem at all when they're exposed. There will be plenty of thoughtful soul-searching by their constituents who will remember the point in the movie "Brokeback Mountain" and they'll forgive their representatives and vote them back in office again and again. I'm not sure why some people don't want these hypocrites exposed. No really. The truth shall set them free, Dorothy!
And if none of that happens and these exposed queens are just abandoned, voted out and forgotten,... oh well,... ce la vie, toots!
I for one applaude this brave man's commitment to empty the government of the filthy fags. We need to do everything we can to get these fags out of politics. NOW!
Did you know the fag agenda includes desensitizing the unsuspecting public: "The first order of business is desensitization of the American public concerning gays and gay rights.....To desensitize the public is to help it view homosexuality with indifference instead of with keen emotion. Ideally, we would have straights register differences in sexual preferences the way they register different tastes for ice cream or sports games....At least in the beginning, we are seeking public desensitization and nothing more. We do not need and cannot expect a full 'appreciation' or 'understanding' of homosexuality from the average American. You can forget about trying to persuade the masses that homosexuality is a good thing. But if only you can get them to think that it is just another thing...then your battle for legal and social rights is virtually won".
That's what we're fighting against, dammit.
Not only that, another part of the fag agenda is to get the public to affirm their filthy lifestyle, as one fag admitted in the October 1987 fag rally on Washington: "We are no longer seeking just a right to privacy and a protection from wrong. We also have a right -- as heterosexual Americans already have -- to see government and society affirm our lives".
But the most devious part of the fag agenda is to turn people from Christianity: "The teaching that only male-female sexual activity within the bounds and constraints of marriage is the only acceptable form should be reason enough for any homosexual to denounce the Christian religion".
NO MORE FAGS IN GOVERNMENT, DAMMIT!
Your Brother in Fag Hatred,
Fred Phelps
Thank you so much for that interesting piece of tay ott trah Miss Phelps.
The sooner this gay Senator is out of office, the better. Dem or Rep, it doesn't matter.
Some Brokeback Mountain fans want to believe that the only ones disgusted by this gay riding crap are Republicans. Not true. Not true at all.
>"The bitter irony in all of this is the intolerance and rigidity of your ideology. How are you different than those you oppose?"
Um, we won't pass laws denying the homophobic, closet case Senator the right to serve openly in the armed forces, adopt children, secure hospital visitation rights, be protected from arbitrary, anti gay discrimination, among other examples?
Does that register as a difference at all to the Constapo or the Talibangelicals?
I didn't think so....
"Tay ott trah"?
I'm sorry, I don't speak fag.
And look, I don't care which political party you belong to. I will celebrate any man or woman who has the guts to stand up for what's right. These perverted fags are desroying God's country, and it's about damn time we focused on the filthy faggots in congress.
OUT THIS "MAN"! OUT HIM NOW!
Go, Mike! Go!
Are many of these posts from "Americans" who fled to Canada after Bush prevented Gore from stealing the 2000 election? Now that Canada has elected a new government, where will you flee now? The North Pole?
Tom, shut up and show ur face in front of us.
R-
I am a gay man, who's a democratic liberal. However, I find this kind of thing appalling. Blackmail is not right.
The Democratic party needs to figure something out, and that's a clear solid view or agenda to make our country a better place instead of the "Well they don't do a good job, so vote for us" mentality they have. If you don't support Alito come up with a good reason not to support him. If he routinely runs over puppies and leaves fiery bags of poop on people's doorsteps, that's a reason not to support him. What in his judicial philosophy makes you not support him? These are the things people need to know, not that some Senator is gay. Who cares. There are plenty of neocons who are banging and getting banged at the Crew Club I'm sure of it, but...? Who cares? It just like most everyone else's personal life is just that, personal.
The best way to fight back against the republicans is to show people in a clear consice manner what they're doing wrong and then have a viable solution to the problem. Just stop complaining and do something about it!...Before the Christian Taliban completely takes over and imposes their views on everyone!
Grim5 did you ever see the episode of Designing Women when Julia Sugarbaker invites the genteel people of Atlanta to tour her "antebellum home" during a historical tour and throws a hissy fit on the staircase complaining about the messy, nasty republican children with their chewing gum and messy big slurpees and their just plain old nasty republican parents putting out their cigarette butts on her antique wood floors?
"I am a gay man, who's a democratic liberal. However, I find this kind of thing appalling. Blackmail is not right."
*huff*
Typical fag thinking from Mr. Daimeon.
----------------------------------------
"These are the things people need to know, not that some Senator is gay. Who cares."
Wrong, Mr. Daimeon! Wrong! We need to expose the fags as the perverts they really are. Now! Before it's too late.
I'm sorry, but the filthy fags cannot be allowed to govern America! End of story...
--------------------------------------
"Before the Christian Taliban completely takes over and imposes their views on everyone!"
Excuse me, but this member of your so-called "Christian Taliban" is proudly standing by Mr. Rodgers as be bravely exposes the perverted sodomites infiltrating the highest levels of government. Mr. Rogers, sir, is a patriot. And I for one salute him.
"Grim5 did you ever see the episode of Designing Women when Julia Sugarbaker invites the genteel people of Atlanta to tour her "antebellum home" during a historical tour and throws a hissy fit on the staircase complaining about the messy, nasty republican children with their chewing gum and messy big slurpees and their just plain old nasty republican parents putting out their cigarette butts on her antique wood floors?"
Is this some kind of homosexual riddle?
The hate demonstrated in these comments are a fair representation of what we as gay Americans have to deal with daily.
Looks like we still have a long way to go. Thanks a lot Bush.
None of the regular readers and commentors here are hatahs... we're lovahs!
Oops, the last two "Anonymous" entries are mine. My blind hatred for all things homosexual has obviously given me a short-term case of "the stupids".
How many of you people commenting on this blog actually believe this story? Don't you all think it's a bit too fantastic to be true? Like I said before, even George Michael would have found a more private place than a Union Station bathroom. Come on.
And if you were going to risk breaking the law by threatening a Senator to vote a particular way, it wouldn't make much sense to do it the day before, since by then the Senator would have already made his decision, already confided with other Senators about his impending vote, already started working with his aides to prepare various statements, etc.
IMO, this is a bogus story used as a publicity stunt.
It's not that hard to figure out Grim5, trust me.
I dare say. What exactly is illegal about calling a straight man straight and gay man gay?
"It's not that hard to figure out Grim5, trust me."
Gotcha. In that case -- no, I didn't see the episode.
And this has what to do with exposing the silly homo lawmakers as the filthy perverts they really are?
It would take more patience than Job to explain it to you Grim5, but thanks for playing. You're too much for Jesus. Next!
Grim5,
Most of the people who regularly view this website are smart enough to figure out that you are a right-wing homo masquerading as an anti-gay extremist in an attempt to falsely show that Mike's work helps anti-gay stupidity. You aren't clever. You're just an idiot.
Canada...obviously you do not understand politics and governing in Canada..the consevatives have formed a minority government. That means that they canno pass, or enact any laws or policies without the assistance from another party. That would be the nice folks from the Liberal party or the Quebec party. The liberals lost because of corruption ...you know the very same thing that will bring down the current government in Washington today. So still can hide in Canada thank you very much.
cheers.
Thank you for that, armyguy. I don't know why these guys feel the need to come here and post their shit. They'd definitely have more fun over at http://www.landoverbaptist.org but come to think of it, that's probably where they're coming from. (People in the know will understand the sarcasm in that statement.)
"It would take more patience than Job to explain it to you Grim5, but thanks for playing. You're too much for Jesus. Next!"
I'm sorry, is facing your own hypocrisy a little too much for ya?
"A person's private life is their own business". Isn't that what the gay community likes to preach?
Oh, I get it...sure it's something they like to preach. But when they can use a man's private life for their own political gain, then by God it's worth it to compromise your beliefs.
poor keith...still that old republican refrain..blame Kennedy on Daley. ha ha ha ha ha ha
Where's my Dubya Decoder Ring? I'm really beginning to misunderinterpret Grim5's points.
Mike, game theory suggests that the best long-term strategy is tit-for-tat. That is, when agent A is sold out by agent B, agent B's best strategy is to do the same to A in the next iteration. That way, A (and others) learn quickly that B cannot hurt A without immediate retaliation. (Republicans and Israelis live by this rule)
Don't worry about sinking this guy's election, it's too far off. Out him now so other closeted gays will know what awaits them if they sell us out. Plus, like other outed politicians, he'll likely moderate his votes once out.
"Grim5,

...well, golly. saw right thru that , didja? but I was being oh so subtle.
Sorry, but this kinda hypocritical blackmail shit burns me to no end. You can't preach one thing and then turn around and do the exact opposite. Either you believe a person's private life is their own business, or it's not.
You can't have it both ways just because you wanna make a political statement.
"hate demonstrated in these comments are a fair representation of what we as gay Americans have to deal with daily.
Looks like we still have a long way to go. Thanks a lot Bush."
So now it's Bush's fault that you're gay and that not everyone bends over for your "beliefs".
Wow.
"Where's my Dubya Decoder Ring? I'm really beginning to misunderinterpret Grim5's points."
Well, see -- I was using dripping, over-the-top sarcasm to make a point.
"So now it's Bush's fault that you're gay and that not everyone bends over for your 'beliefs'."
Is that a pun?
Thanks for the explanation Grim5. I couldn't find my Dubya Decoder Ring afterall. I think he must've had his minions steal it from me to help him write his SOTU speech for tonight.
Grim5,
You are entitled to have any wacko political beliefs that you want to, but it must suck to be on the same side as a bunch of people who would like to see you stoned to death.
This is much more fun than shooting fish in a barrel... more like shooting fish in a bucket.
"Thanks for the explanation Grim5. I couldn't find my Dubya Decoder Ring afterall. I think he must've had his minions steal it from me to help him write his SOTU speech for tonight."
And yet, curiously, you fail to see the hypocrisy in preaching the sanctity of one gay man's private life while demanding the disclosure of another gay man's private life.
Why is that?
Okay, I tried to finish reading all the comments here, but I just don't have time. Personal political and sexual alliances aside - all this argument seems rather silly to me.
Call me crazy, but Michael's post/threat/whatever you're calling it makes perfect sense. It's not blackmail, more like... revenge. Reasonable, amusing revenge, in a "You fuck with my shit, you pay for my shit" sort of way. If the senator -whoever the fuck he is - is going to denounce things that he himself personally does in order to gain political power, getting found out is only what's coming to him anyway, no matter who does it.
And besides - it'll be funny, like tripping the popular kid at school and making them land in their cafeteria spaghetti, if you'll excuse the juvenile analogy.
It's not threats, blackmail, or homophobic hipocracy, it's... just desserts.
"Grim5,
You are entitled to have any wacko political beliefs that you want to, but it must suck to be on the same side as a bunch of people who would like to see you stoned to death."
Hey man, I'm true to my beliefs -- a person's private life is their own business. Period. I don't care who they are.
Oops, I'm sorry -- I'm assuming here. Perhaps you believe everyone's life should be open to the public.
If that's the case...well, I gotta disagree.
Well put Nikki!!!
It's like this Grim5: If a Senator is having illicit homosexual sex by night while sponsoring legislation by day that will effectively take away the rights or deny rights of another American, then his life deserves the cleansing rays of sunshine. I just feel sorry for Santorum's ("Latin for asshole, right") dog. His poor dog is the innocent party in all this.
I thought you moonbats APPROVED of guys that blow each other, and HATED hypocrites...
Any time now, I expect Jeff (of the spectacularly popular "North Dallas Thirty" blog) to chime in with his wit and wisdom.
And no, don't take my last comment to mean I have any insight into Mr. Santorum's "youthful indiscretions." Only his wife knows for sure.
256 comments...priceless...
God Speed, Mike Rogers
God bless you, keep up the good work. May we out ourselves on this blog before someone else does it!!!
ok, I'm outting myself now so if it ever comes up in the future......
you saw it first here folks(well not counting all the hook up web sights I posted myself on back in the 90's, well and there's that movie, and well....)
Kidding aside, you go boy!

Okay, I get it. Sorta like, oh I dunno, exposing a person's, um, "presidential indiscretions" with a chunky intern.
I mean, it's no big deal, right? Since the public has every right to know a person's private activities.
And they DEFINAELY have the right to know if this "hypothetical president" is stupid enough to say (on live tv, mind you), "I did not have sex with that woman" when it turns out that he did, in fact, "have sex with that woman". Because...the public has a right to know, correct?
I mean, according to you, this "hypothetical situation" would be a-okay.
Here is a map for the 06 senatoral races by state...

Where do you think the idea came from? Directly from Ken Starr and the RNC! They legitimized exposure of a person's private sexual life as a valid political argument. Too bad that impeachment didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, huh.
Can someone answer or speak to the point that I, and others have raised? That by outing someone, we are in fact engaging the negativity a significant amount of Americans feel about homosexuality. And we are using that dynamic, which we say we detest, for our own gain, to bring down the public perception of an official.
This is not an argument for the privacy of the cowardly senator ~ I could care less about his outcome in all this. It's what our message is saying if we rely on the homophobia inherent in America to our own gain, while at the same time that we speak out against it.
Steve
"Where do you think the idea came from? Directly from Ken Starr and the RNC! They legitimized exposure of a person's private sexual life as a valid political argument. Too bad that impeachment didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, huh."
Did you think Starr was right or wrong when he exposed the president's private business?
Eddie01:
You need to educate yourself on what "psychotic" means. Projection has little or nothing to do with psychosis.
You should leave the medical diagnoses to a trained professional (actually, that would be me!).

Uh-oh. How dare you look at this rationally. This about revenge, dammit! REVENGE!
Do it after the State of the rightwing Homophobia Nation address....that would be sweeeet...think about it....the senator sitting in the gallery with his wife and kids...being a strong homophobic GOP type, tough rugged....then drop the bomb.....yea baby yeaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!It will be over the net in minutes...
Mike Rogers: American hero, hellraiser par excellance, freedom fighter, truth teller, giant slayer, history maker.
Type your brains out all you wingnut cowards and queer Vichy. You bitches will never achieve anything. Mike is going to show clueless America what a fraud our neo-facist, American Taliban GOP is all about: LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES
Steve, even the Spanish Inquisition fell apart when people came to their senses and realized what was being done "for them" in their church's name. What Michael is doing here is nothing at all like that but is more exposing the general public to the intense homophobia of the ignunt sheeple who are waiting impatiently for Jayzus Praise da Lard to save them from all this. The closet queens in Congress fear nothing more than their "Christian fanatic" base finding out their dirty little secret. They know deep down that some of their supporters would tear them up like rabid dogs if they knew. I can't say I'd be unhappy to see that happen.
If all the gay, lesbian, bi and transgendered citizens of the world stood up one day and proclaimed "Here we are. We're mad as hell and we're not gonna take this anymore!" I have no doubt these same good "Christian" people would be scrambling to drink the Jim Jones kool-aid just because they were too ignorant to realize all the positive things we as homosexuals have contributed to the world. Their world would be shattered! They think we're much more of a minority than we really are. None of them can quote me a passage of Jesus' own words denigrating homosexuality.
Their biggest problem, IMHO, is that their god is too small.
Your post supports and promotes the notion that being known as gay will ruin your career. Doesn't this make you a hypocrite as well? Doesn't that go against everything you stand for? Shouldn't you be promoting ideals to your audience that being gay is okay?
Just wondering...
Being a hypocrite will ruin your career. If you get caught.
Rock on Mike!

Thanks for your response. I agree in so far as people coming out in their own lives is going to ultimayely do the most good in changing minds that are open to be changed. I think people need to do that much more than they curently are if we hope to make inroads in the areas that are being denied us.
In my view I still see outing as more negative than positive in the grand total of what we actually end up gaining.
Thanks for the reasoned reply,
Steve
Steve, I understand your point as well. I just don't see the current crop of closet homosexual politicians standing up to their constituents and being honest with them. It's sort of like someone who runs and gets elected as a Democrat then switches to Republican because they know they couldn't get elected otherwise. Karma is a bitch they say, and some of these people will surely agonize one day over decisions they made earlier in their lives and the compromises they made.
Amazing.. Am I the only person reading this stuff that thinks it is total BS? You all actually believe a Senator was performing oral sex in a bathroom at Union Station???? I realize our leaders are often morons, but that's just insane.
You all seem to be ignoring
a) the sheer absurdity of the story
b) the fact that blackmail is a crime
c) the fact that this blogger has a lot to gain by making something like this up (look at the traffic)
d) the fact that outing somebody in such a way would do more harm to gays that help.
Am I missing something??
There won't be any outing.
Click on my link and see why.

oops, typo:
d) the fact that outing somebody in such a way would do more harm to gays *than* help.
Armyguy: Heh, thanks.
Trentk269: Ignoring the use of “you guys” as a gross generalization, I think the reality falls more into “Hate hypocrites, even those who blow guys.”
Grim5: Well, I think this could be sort of compared to the Clinton ‘scandal’. Who gives a damn if he slept with someone. Once you lie about it, people are going to desperately want to shove it in your face. Hrm.
Steve/OKJ: As far as promoting homophobia goes, and other comments that have been made along those lines… I think it’s an ironic comment. If this senator was himself publicly “demonizing” homosexuals, then it’s fair play to subject him to a prejudice that he himself was so anxious to endorse.
Philip: Whoo. –polite applause-
DT: …I’m probably half your age, and I have more than enough faith in the fact that Senators are capable of blowing people in bathrooms. Truth tends to be stranger than fiction, I find. And some old idioms like that actually apply to real life. –g-
Apparently some of these people don't know Mike. Did they forget about this?
Updated: 12:17 p.m. ET Aug. 31, 2004
RICHMOND, Va. - Republicans were scrambling to find a replacement candidate after U.S. Rep. Edward L. Schrock announced his retirement amid claims that he is gay.
Republicans from Schrock’s conservative district, which includes Norfolk and Virginia Beach, planned to choose a nominee to oppose Democratic lawyer David B. Ashe after a hastily arranged meeting Tuesday night.
The party has just three days left to get names on the Nov. 2 ballot, state GOP spokesman Shawn M. Smith said. Two state senators and two delegates were among those mentioned.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5870077
Ahem, what was Ed doin' again?
Hey, wasn't he also Fallwell and Robertson's buddy/congressman?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Check out the rapacious rabid right knuckle draggin' droolers as they weigh in one by one with their ever shrieking harpiesque shrill vapidity - friggin' hilarious! Did they forget the male escort service that operated out of the WH during the Reagan - Bush years?
Why do I have a feeling this soon to be outed senator has voted against gays, ala Rep. David Dreier?
BTW, did Dreier ever wince when he was campaigning for Ahnold when Ahnold was using the girlie man references?
Where is the blackmail?
John doesn't bullshit.
I've never heard a right wingnut weigh in on Mehlman being gay, he IS the head of the RNC.
Of course most of 'em don't cop to Nixon's Southern Strategy and think Goldwater is some kinda civil rights hero. Stupid f@cks..
Good work, John. Keep an eye on these bastardi. Methinks the reform crowd is out tonight.
Whistlin' past the graveyard?
Nancy:
To answer your question, I don't join a gay Church because I don't subscribe to the belief that being gay is completely natural and acceptable. I believe that some times we just aren't wired right.
That said, I need to point out that God doesn't make people psychotic either. God doesn't give people cancer. God does no evil, but he allows Satan to work evil in this world.
Therefore, I am saying that I think homosexuality is in violation of the natural law, in spite of the 2-3 percent of the population who are forced to deal with it.
Home people with severe mental illness (Schitzophrenia comes to mind) also have a tendency to act in a manner that is incongruous with a complete relationship with God. (These people can become violent and homocidal). In our society, we accept that these are mitigating circumstances, perhaps God does as well. I don't know his mind, only what he has told us through his sacred word.
Homosexual activity is disordered and, I can attest to this from experience, lessens a persons own opinion of him or her self. I mean, look at you guys, you're ultimate insult to a straight person is "Hey, you must be gay!" Is that the sign of someone who is completely confident in the rightness of their own lifestyle?
I believe it is important to be true to God, not to yourself. God has made it clear that we are to obey his commandments. These are simply summarized in two statements.
1) Love me. (God, not your author)
2) Love each other as I love you.
Loving each other does not mean condoning wrong behavior. As a loving parent stops a child from doing that which is dangerous, sometimes loving someone means pointing out where we think he is leading himself to a fall from God's grace.
It's funny, I'll be attacked for saying that, but I'll bet everyone ready to attack me for that is in favor of "Interventions" to stop someone from drinking, smoking or doing drugs.
Eh, frankly I do not care which GOP Senator is supposedly closeted with a sham marriage. That's between him, his wife, and God. I will say this though, the fact that liberals like you are so desperate to resort to such tactics makes me smile. It bodes well for future elections. Alito was confirmed. Too bad, dipshit.
sooooo...let me get this straight? [pun intended]..
YOU are blackmailing a senator? and you are advertising it?
and ,wait...hold the phones....YOU have a problem that he is gay and not talking about it constantly? why, doesn't that go against every excuse you gave for president clinton? it's his private life ad nauseum etc.?
and why are you so homophobic anyway?
can you spell H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E?????
Thanks for keeping this under wraps. If the Schrock and his love for c*cks would have been kept under wraps for a little bit longer, Pat Robertson country would have seen its first Democratic Congressman.
I am visiting DC soon. what is the action like in union station? might have to pay a visit 
The bitches that are on here complaining are too fucking hilarious. Why do you even care? Like keith, you're not even GAY - just "struggling" with ::clears throat::
"same - same attraction". It seems quite stupid to continue to associate yourself with a community you don't like. LMFAO!!!
GO MIKE. I can't wait.
Effects of outing an anti-gay Senator could be: the Right realizes that gays are anywhere, including in their own midst...and the Left loses one of its significant opponents.
Seeking to stop homophobic actions directed at us is a noble fight.
Didn't the Right just wage a 3 year battle against President Clinton for an action? The damage that they did to Clinton weakened his Democrat successor enough to allow Bush to squeak into office. The Right has no right to complain about the politics of personal allegations.
Keith,
You are awesome. I've been in the same boat as you for a while. I've struggled mightily with SSA for a long time. I'm fortunate to be strongly attracted to women, so don't envision a life of loneliness, but I can attest that this struggle is difficult.
The only reason I'm posting this message is because I doubt that most persons who are struggling with SSA and would readily admit the disordered nature of homosexual acts would even post a response. Most will villify you for your message, but let it be known that you do influence others and are not alone.
I only ended up on this site after a blog I frequent posted a link about the supposedly gay Senator. I would not otherwise frequent such a website that might lead me to the occasion of sin.
Anyway, thank you, keith, for your powerful message.
Struggling, you sound like a troll. Anyone with a brain can see that your message was not genuine.
Satan also makes me wear garments with wool and linen intermingled, thereby damning me to hell. Leviticus 19:19. Not only that, I've cut my hair and trimmed my beard, earning me more damnation. Leviticus 19:27. And worst of all worlds, with the Seahawks headed to the superbowl I allowed myself to be drawn into a game of touch football where the football was made from the skin of a pig. Damning me for a third time. Leviticus 11:7-8. All that, and not even a blow job to show for it. Damn, Keith, I need one of your interventions.
Mike,
After reading all the vile and hate-filled rantings by the GOP'ers (Greasy Old Poofters), One word sums up my feelings...
BRAVO!
It's time we start using the Gay Old Party's playbook and hit them with it.
I say it's high time we out every single one of the bastards, and force them to explain themselves.
I know here in Michigan there are several State elected officals that have a liking for the same sex.
When we get done on the national level, lets go after those on the state and local levels.
Don't stop there, go after CEO's, recording artists, and everyone else who is nothing more than a lowlife, self-hating bigot.
My personal opinion is, if you don't want to come out, then stop sucking dick!
Rant over.
Actually, your tactic will backfire on you. Nothing will happen to the Senator.
A senator's responsibilities should lie with the people who elected him, not whatever social group s/he belongs to. Senators are supposed to represent the interests of their constituents. If his constituents don't support gay marriage, he shouldn't be expected to vote in favor of gay marriage. To threaten to out someone because some senator who doesn't represent you doesn't support your beliefs is not only illegal, but incredibly stupid, and goes against everything the democratic party claims to stand for.
Thank you lane.
Here's a one way ticket to cluelessville/
As a 60-year old married straight guy, I have this to say: GOOD WORK! DO IT! Oh, and please ignore the freepers' coments...who cares what homophobes think?
I'm fortunate to be strongly attracted to women, so don't envision a life of loneliness, but I can attest that this struggle is difficult.
Funny that you mention the "life of loneliness" cliché. That is a myth that homophobes are always trying to perpetuate but has no basis in reality. Gays can and do enter into commited relationships. They often have children. They also have family...parents, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, etc. They have friendships, gay and straight, that last a lifetime, just like any other human being. This myth might have been true 50 years ago, when gays were universally shunned, but it is not true today and never again will be.
If we're making guesses by naming names, Indiana's Dick Lugar has to be on your list. Closeted, married, and up for re-election this year.
"Why are these nasty, mean and vitriolic straight people doing hanging around this web site?" good question. kinda makes ya wonder how "straight" they are don't it? Face it, most of the homophobes that post here are self hating closet queens indulging in the rightwing nut, christofacist branch of the church of neoconazism. Come on, face it guys, YA LIKE TA SUCK DICK. Ain't nothing wrong with it. Just wipe yer chin when yer done. Homosexuality occures everywhere in nature. Dolphins, Seagulls, Penguins (yeah more like the SWISH of the penguins instead of the march) Fruit flies (I'm not makin this up) So ifin yall gonna try that "GAWD don't make you Gay" line...what about them? OOOOH YEAH, I forgot, you folks aren't into the REALITY based world are ys. Kinda like Chimpy saying we're addicted (funny word coming from a coke snorting drunk) to oil. Even though him and Dicky boy let the fuckin oil companies write the energy mess (couldn't call it a policy) we're being crushed under. So to all you repugs...FUCK YOU. Was that over the top?
Yes, Lane does need a clue. A man can support his opposition to marrying a man by NOT marrying one. What's STUPID is to limit someone's else options because you can't envision it in your life. You talk about what parties stand for - what about YOUR party and its claim to support the individual's right to dictate his destiny? Let the people (ALL of them) speak for themselves. You do know that activism goes both ways?
Why are you assuming that I'm not a democrat?
I do support gay marriages, but if we're talking about a red state here, and the vast majority supports the federal marriage amendment, then it is not the senator's perogative to disregard the desires of his constituents. He is supposed to represent them, not his own personal interests. The constitutionality of such a federal amendment can be easily challenged later.
It's about time that someone expose these republican hypocrites for who they really are. To do otherwise would make one complicit in their actions, especially if you have knowledge of their hypocrisy. Mike, you are doing the right thing. Expose them to the world.
Here in the UK we just had a party leadership candidate for the Liberal Democratic Party outed (Simon Hughes). A few years ago he'd run a wickedly homophobic campaign in an election, and now he's outed himself. I'm not in favour of outing decent-minded people who are trying to live their own quiet lives, but OUT THE HYPOCRITES NOW !
There's an enormous difference between voting the bigotries of one's constituency and voting in their best interests. NO ONE's interests are served in banning same-sex marriage, no one's real interests, that is.
Straight marriages are endangered by gay people.
Obviously, I meant "no straight marriages are.."
The comments are more interesting than the post. The gay-activist looney tunes want to hurt the man because he is different from them in his politics. The homophobe wingnuts want to hurt him because he is different from them in his lifestyle. Classic monkey reflex. "See the stanger; fear the stranger; hate the stranger; kill the stranger". If I could, I would arm both groups with machine guns and land them on opposite sides of a desert island. In the meantime, I am very glad that they are both on the margins of American society.
"The gay-activist looney tunes want to hurt the man because he is different from them in his politics."
By which I assume you mean "the gay activists" believe in equality, honesty and responsible government and "the man" does not.
And check your polls: the Republicans are on the margins of American society, but equality, honesty and responsible government are as mainstream as it gets.
I don't think it's the so-called activists who are the looney ones here, nk.
"I'm not in favour of outing decent-minded people who are trying to live their own quiet lives, but OUT THE HYPOCRITES NOW !"
This is the weirdest myth ever. Except for the very rare Hollywood celebrity, name one "decent-minded" person who was ever "outed". Just one.
And how is telling the truth evil? Never got that one, either. If you want to live in the 21st Century, you have to accept that some people might acknowledge the reality that you're gay, whether you like it or not.
And if you don't like it, what's wrong with you or the way you're living?
Mike keep the good work moving forward.
All gay republicans need to get divorced then they would not have to worry about how close you get to their closeted stories. I lived in DC. I was a Republican. I knew republican married men who slept with hill staffers and raise funds for conservative causes.
Keep exposing them.
ROTFLMMFAO !!
This blog should be mandatory reading for everyone who still believes that the Dems are THE party of 'tolerance'.
Gives yerselves a 'reach-around', boys.
hahahahahahahahahahaha ...
Oh, and about that terminal 'gay plague' ...
~(Ä)~
.
out the hypocrites. so what if the log cabinettes have their panties in a knot? they just look the other way when gay men and women are being trashed by the republicans. gay republicans are garbage.
It's always curious how people like Rokketmania are sooo interested in gay people, but anyway most of us are not tolerant of liars and thieves, especially, those who want to reap the very same benefits that they would so willingly take away from others.
I'm a hetero "evil rethug" who just happens to have a gay stepbrother.
To all those idiots who think homosexuality is a choice, I fart in your general direction. I watched my stepbrother struggle with his sexual orientation.
To all those homosexuals who are "in your face" gay, I fart in your general direction. I'm tired of public behaviour on your part which would either get me arrested or would lead to condemnation by my peers if I acted that way in public.
I don't support gay marriage because I believe marriage is an institution between a man and a woman.
Gay's already have every recourse available to hetero's except for one and that one is being able to file for SS under a partners benefits.
The right to inherit - that's what wills and POA's are for.
The right to have medical say in treatment of a partner - Medical Power of Attorney as well as differing medical forms wherein a partner can name their partner as one who can make decisions and/or be given information.
Home ownership - Mortgage companies have already been financing non-married couples together on property for years.
Health insurance coverage - Most major companies already offer domestic partner benefits.
I could list more such as adoption, foster parenting, etc. butI don't want to write a book.
The majority of republicans I personally know have no problem with gay people, we just are tired of the agenda. No, I don't want my kids taught about homosexuality while they're in grade or middle school but then I don't want my kids taught about heterosexuality at that age either. That's my job as a parent. Health classes like I took when I was in high school are sufficient. Heterosexuality and homosexuality can be discussed in those types of classes.
Y'all keep on with outing people and it will keep on appearing as if there's something shameful or bad about a person being gay. People are only outted for behaviour that's wrong and scandalous.
During the 2004 debates there was condemnation on both sides when Mary Cheney's orientation was brought up. Republicans already knew she was gay...so what. Outing her though made it seem as if there was something bad about her being gay.
Does the Senator in question have a pic up at Rate-a-Rod?
we just are tired of the agenda
Oh DAMMIT! I was busy today and forgot to take a long lunch, cruise the mall and make fun of the breeders and their fashion choices.
(I lost my copy of "The Gay Agenda" but I KNOW that "making fun of breeders" is in there somewhere. Can someone email me a copy of theirs?)
What else did I forget? Oh yes, that power lunch out in Hollywood to discuss "Brokeback Mountain, II"
Nevermind. A old friend had a copy:

I'm no particular fan of Barney Frank's, but I think he explained outing best: "If Sarah Brady carried a hand gun, shouldn't we know?"
It's my impression that about one out of four comments here are from infiltrators pretending to be gay or gay-supportive, pretending not to understand the concept of outing. Like the Army's propaganda in Iraqi newspapers, fooling no one.
Attack of the Gay Agenda!

Ooh how cute Philip. Nothing like a little stereotypical bitchiness.
Agenda is the appropriate word when used in the context I used it in. There is an organized faction of the homosexual community which promotes the inclusion of homosexuality being taught in sex education.
a·gen·da ( P ) Pronunciation Key (-jnd)
n. pl. a·gen·das
A list or program of things to be done or considered: “They share with them an agenda beyond the immediate goal of democratization of the electoral process” (Daniel Sneider).
A plural of agendum.
Would you prefer I use the terminology of a program?
As far as discussing Brokeback Mountain, II would you please notify the powers-that-be in Hollywood cowboy contains the word cow hence the original movie isn't about cowboys but about sheepherders.
Whatever Sally. Have your say, do your will. I don't actually "prefer" that you do anything. You're grown up. Make your own choices. If you have a problem with Hollywood, make your own phonecall.
sally,
you have a real problem with gays. that is why you are here. Thats fine, I have a real problem with the "religious" right.
pray tell, what is the religious rights agenda? they do have one you know. How does one teach sex ed without teaching about homosexuality at least in passing? time to grow up. what are you,like 65 years old or from alabama (choose an age) or something
Philip I was merely was responding to your cherry picking of my use of the word agenda.
I understand why you want me to make my own phone call to Hollywood as I misread where you had forgotten about your powerlunch. Silly me for requesting you suggest to the people you were supposed to have lunch with that they not misrepresent the career of the characters in BM, II. /sarc
Sweetums, I'm well aware I make my own choices, am responsible for myself and am grown up.
Sally I don't know why you're bothering to respond to me here on Michael's comment thread. It's your right, but trust me "sweetums," I'm not interested. (Gay translation: "I can't be bothered.")

TaurusRising,
I am no troll. If you'd like a detailed description of my struggle, I'd be more than willing to share. My praise for Keith is genuine.
I am not a self-loathing homosexual, bisexual, or whatever other label you'd have for me. I'm a devout Catholic who struggles mightily reconciling his faith with feelings and attractions that simply won't go away. At the same time, I recognize these feelings for what they are - disordered. I had an impish, emotionally distant father growing up and to this day I have a rocky relationship with him. I see my marginal attraction to men as an outgrowth of my longing for affection and affirmation by a male authority figure - affection and affirmation I never received from my father.
I thank God everyday that I am equally attracted to women. I fully expect to marry and have a family. I also firmly intend to share my struggle with my wife. Transparency is the key to an honest life. I cannot completely give myself to another withough disclosing my struggles and shortcomings.
I understand the confusion, isolation, anger, sadness, anxiety and frustration that all individuals with same sex attraction experience. It complicates life on a level others simply cannot fully comprehend. At the same time, I'm unwilling to submit to a lifestyle I know in my heart to be wrong. I cannot change my sexuality, but I can refuse to let it control me. I have and always will have full control over my actions. That is why I shun illicit sex (either with men or women), choose celibacy until marriage, and will live a chaste , procreative, and life-affirming marriage when the day comes.
Call me a troll if it pleases you, but I am not. This is real. This is me. This is the truth. If it upsets you, that's your problem, not mine.
Why do gay blogs attract trolls, the secret is out dears...you're all attracted to teh COCK.
Jeff,
Where do you get the idea I have a problem with gays? And where in the hell do you get the idea I am in the slight bit religious? Or are you under the mistaken impression anyone who's republican automatically has a problem with gays or is a fundie?
Your stereotyping of republicans and/or me is the same as if I were to state all gays were into leather, multiple sex partners, bears and were fembots, etc. Jeez, get a grip!
And yes, I am well aware there are idiots out there who have an agenda promoting ideas such as homosexuality is a choice, it's evil, it's an abomination, it's sinful, blah, blah, blah.
I'm here because I followed a link and I had something I wanted to say. I'm not here because I have a problem with gays. Far from it.
Do you need remedial reading comprehension classes? Were you homeschooled in the bayous of Louisiana? Here's a quote from my first post.
No, I don't want my kids taught about homosexuality while they're in grade or middle school but then I don't want my kids taught about heterosexuality at that age either. That's my job as a parent. Health classes like I took when I was in high school are sufficient. Heterosexuality and homosexuality can be discussed in those types of classes.
If you'd read my post in its entirety you'd have seen my thoughts on when homosexuality should be brought up.
Now, is there anything else you'd like to misconstrue and attack me with?
I'm really not sure why some people get all bent out of shape over trolls. Sure they try to disrupt conversations but occasionally one might bring up a point-of-view I never thought of before. I can't really say any of them have changed my mind about any particular issue but they have a right to post anywhere they want and say anything, up to the limits of the moderator's patience, that is. Personally, I hope Michael doesn't edit or delete any of these comments. They're a showcase of ignorance.
I bet were he still alive, Justin Wilson might take issue with that comment about being homeschooled in the bayous of Louisiana. I know it offended me, but then I've dealt with bigoted and opinionated people all my life.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus...n_Wilson_(chef)
I will reiterate: I am no troll.
Still think I'm a fully hetero male in disguiese? Want details about my male attraction? Fine.
When I give into temptation, I enjoy looking at websites devoted to naked male celebrities. I can rattle off countless movies that contain male nudity. I can tell you which actor was naked in which movie. For example, Kevin Bacon has a full frontal in Wild Things. Or, David Duchovny has a full frontal in New Year's Day. Or how about Kevin Spacey, who doffs his kit in American Beauty. Trust me, I could go on all day.
I am not proud of this. This is my vice. I am struggling mightily to control it, but little by little I am succeeding. Like I said, I only wandered onto this sight after a link on a blog that I frequent.
And again, thank you Keith, for your honesty and insight.
Too bad you were offended. Of course you weren't offended by jeff-seattle's snide slam at me now were you? After all, it's quite alright to take potshots at me since I'm republican, female and heterosexual.
Here's the comment you find perfectly acceptable:
what are you,like 65 years old or from alabama (choose an age) or something

sally,
I don't know how to break this to you but you party has been taken over by religious nuts. wake up and smell the coffee. your statement that you don't support gay marriage because I believe marriage is an institution between a man and a woman is, well retarded. this perspective is a derivative of religious thought. if now a because of a religious belief then what possible oposition to ssm could you have? because you are against breaking up "institutions".
Home work for today. list at least three institutions that have been brooken up in the last century. shees.
I know the struggle that skanks have getting a good man. but don blame the friends of dorthy
Both comments offended me Sally. There. Satisfied? Good.
dl,
The story is not absurd. The senator was the fellatee not the fellator. There is plenty of cock being sucked and fondled at union station. Man, I'm hungry for some french fries.
After reading all the posts, I'm wondering if some of these zealots are from Jerry Falwell's Liberty University. Just brushing up on their evangelical debating skills. They ARE building a cadre of soldiers who are being groomed to become attorneys, judges, politicians and political appointees. Karl Rove's dream team.
This is war. Arm yourself accordingly.
can I out someone here?....right now?
anon,
My party hasn't been taken over by religious nuts. Granted they squeal pretty darned loud but the majority of us aren't comprised of zealots and fundies.
Most of us want limited government intrustion into our lives, want wasteful government programs cut, want a strong military, illegal immigration stopped, want the police to serve and protect and for them not to be tax revenoor's (yes, I know I misspelled it, it was intentional), etc. We don't want a theocracy, we want to keep our republic.
By the way, this skank has never had a problem in getting a good man.
As an aside, it's no wonder so many have a problem with acceptance of gays. Being called a skank, a fag hag, a member of the religious right, inferring I'm uneducated (where did you go to school? Alabama), assuming I'm over 65, a breeder, a troll...all of those are sooo conducive to constructive conversations./rant
you are judging all gays by a couple on this site. You are employing that intolerance to gays is understandable because of, well me and a couple of other dudes on a particular web site with a particular political bent. You do have a gay problem. I take back the skank part. You obviously are a promiscuous woman who sees too much of her in the sex lives of the many promiscuous gays.
The truth is that it is indead a wonder why so many have a problem with gays in America. My relatives in Switzerland have no problem with gays and they are very active in thier church.
To show what a moron you are and that you don't a thing about politics:
Most of us want limited government intrustion into our lives,
want wasteful government programs cut , want a strong military, illegal immigration stopped , want the police to serve and protect and for them not to be tax revenoor's (yes, I know I misspelled it, it was intentional), etc. We don't want a theocracy, we want to keep our republic.
follow up. this is a wastful administration that is very intrusive (followed the news lately, idiot). Republican presidents, especiially Bush, can't utter two sentences in a row without bringing religiion int it. Clinton added more police to the force and reduced crime more then any other president. abortions were lower, for you wing nuts also. I am no lefty, more libertarian. you are a clear knee-jerk-everything-I-know-comes-from-Rush-
Limbaugh republican.
I suggest you read a book written by someone other than Ann Coulter.
byw Sally how much intrusion into you reproductive lives are dems proposing on you. God you are an idiot. You don't know what you stand for
Is it that feminine, French-looking Senator, who ran as the Democrat nominee for president in 2004?
"I fully expect to marry and have a family. I also firmly intend to share my struggle with my wife. Transparency is the key to an honest life."
Yea right, then in your mid-thirties or later (60's) you will go to Omega or some other place in towm and get some cock. Yoyr gay and want cock....accept it. Why marry and get kids to just later break her heart? Don't delude yourself...You were born that way. Until you accept that you will never know peace.
actually he has the reputation of being quite a womanizer.

Kids learn about heterosexuality when they are todlers. They see their parents, they see their neighbors, they see their aunts and uncles. They usually don't see gay and lesbian couples. When they do, it's usually ‘just a roommate’.
My nieces and nephews learned about loving gay couples through me when they were todlers. They are reaching maturity now and they don't have any hangups with learning about it. They're dating, they're starting to form their own families now. All of them are straight.
Why not teach children in kindergarten about homosexuals and heterosexuals committing themselves in loving relationships?

honestly Keith, stay single and celebate. Don't put a woman through this. My experiance in the gay community is that very few gays are 50/50 in attraction. You are actually bi-sexual, which is rare and usually phoney. I will get a lot of slack from fellow gays for saying this but there have been studies that allude to the truth in this. Most gays are no more attracted to the opposite sex then straights are attracted to the same sex. trust me on this.
your sexual attraction is the least of you problems. you seem to have other issues.
My great aunt was a lesbian that helped support us when my dad could no longer work because of early onset alzheimers. All us kids knew that her room mate whom we refered to as aunt was no an aunt. We were told what a lesbian was in a mannor that kids of our age could handle,not knowing anything about sex. "aunt mary likes women not men" and not much more untill we figured it out later in school (the playground not sex ed class, that came MUCH later). Sally may I just say, minds are like parachuts, they only work when open. a little corney but true just the same
I wonder, what makes heterosexuals so insecure about their own sexuality. Once they learn about homosexuality, they believe EVERYBODY would want to have at least a piece of that action too.
At least homosexuals aren't that greedy, they just want their own kind.

Don't you project your "isolation, anger, sadness, anxiety and frustration" onto me. I've never experienced it. Seems to me the issues you have with your own sexuality are controlling your life immensely.
the major virus infecting heterosexuals is religion. it is because of religion that all the nasty right-wing sentiment is being posted here today. religion is utter garbage. its most ardent followers mouth a lot of pieties, but continue to behave like the worst kind of asshole imaginable. name one good thing religion has done for the world. all it causes are wars, misery and violence. witness the right-wing posters here today, full of all their self-righteous moralizing and posturing.
what a load of shit and garbage.
I disagree. I am a christian. I was raised Episcopalian, so I was not exposed to a lot of the anti gay stuff.
anon,
Once again you bring so much to the table. You've made an ass out of yourself because you've made so many assumptions about me and declared them as fact.
I don't read Ann Coulter as I regard her as being way too shrill and over the top. I don't listen to Rush Limpballs because he's bombastic, boring and too full of himself.
I am fully aware of what's going on in the political scene. Do you know which Dems' voted for and which Repubs' voted against Alito's confirmation? What do you know about the Ballinger report? What about the DSM? What country was Sheehan in recently and what was she saying during a public appearance there? Did you know all charges against her are being dropped and the Capitol Police have admitted they made a mistake arresting her? Speaking of Sheehan, whose Senate seat has she said she might run for and why did she say it? What is your opinion on the presidents proposed guest worker program? Do you know which country had contracts with Hussein to develop Iraqs oil reserves once the embargo was lifted? Who in the Clinton administration thought it was acceptable for 500,000 to die because of the embargo? Who is Fatah? Who is Hamas? Do you believe in MIHOP or LIHOP or neither? Why was Cronkite forced to retire early? Who is Mary Mapes? What Iman is Ahmadinejad preparing for? What did Chirac recently say about nuclear weapons?
You're soooo right! I have a problem with promiscuity, I'm a moron and an idiot, am judgemental and I have a problem with gays. Wait til I tell my stepbrother! He'll be amazed you've managed to peg me so well. Why I bet he won't ever talk to me again much less love me.
Hey, guess what...neither the dem's or the repub's are posing any intrusion on my reproductive rights.
By the way, I don't blanket judge gays by what a few jerks here have said. There are too many nice people who just happen to be gay that I call friend and/or relative.

And of course, the execrable Larry Craig (R-Idaho), who bought peace in a sexual harassment suit brought by a male staffer about ten years ago.
I don't care anymore that Lugar hasn't been the most enthusiastic member of the Great Right Wing Hate Machine. He votes with them.
The only good Republican is a dead Republican.
A person who had spent time working in Lugar's house and spoke at length with Lugar's wife told me all about their separate bedrooms and his male nude art collection 30 years ago.
And gay friends in Indianapolis confirmed recently it's widely known in Hoosierland that Lugar is gay.
Again, the only good Republican is a dead Republican.
I don't care what we hang them for, even for something I have no problem with personally.
The fact is, the Rethugs are ALL thugs.
If we can nail them for making illegal contributions to Mother Teresa, so much the better.
As I stated before, folks like Struggling aren't even gay, yet they think they're entitled to speak as a representative. For future reference, you really should think about limiting your OPINIONS (not facts) to other disordered catholics - not to gay people. Otherwise, don't be shocked if you're villified.
republicans want to make abortion illeagle. it is in the platform, so yes they do want to restirct abortion which, the last time I checked, is related to reproductive rights, sheesh. you are confused. do you really think that the republicans are for smaller government.
Mike Rogers,
Please delete Ralph's post above. Being angry at republicans for using hatred and ignorance is one thing, but saying the kind of hateful crap that he is spouting is unacceptable.
Let's just assume, for practical purposes that Female Senators aren't having Tea Room sex. Here's the list of those up for re-election this fall.
Having refreshed myself who's up, I think I know who it is. Y'all have at it! Let the feeding frenzy commence!

So when will you be "outing" the two pedophiles from the east now in office? Or does their party affiliation give them a skate? Hmmm?

These are just a few I could think of off the top of my head. Some have varying degrees of when abortion is ok.
I'm not familiar with pro-choice Congressmen(R) or Governor's(R).
I'm not going to disagree that one of the platforms the RNC advocates is pro-life. If anyone thinks though every republican is pro-life then they're wrong. I'm pro-choice when pregnancy is a result of rape or incest and when it endangers the mothers life. My viewpoint isn't all that uncommon among many of the rank and file repubs.
True conservative republicans are for smaller government. Yes, I am well aware Bush has grown the government and it's one of the things I disagree with him about. I'm not alone there either.
Here's another surprise for you...many repubs are against the WOsD. Many of us who came of age in the late 60's and early 70's think it's a travesty to make pot smoker's into criminals. I haven't smoked pot in 30 years but I have no problem with those that do. I also think those who are using the hard drugs and/or alcohol should be offered treatment with a first offense and then if they continue to use, they should serve time in a prison which is geared towards getting addicts clean and sober. Many of my fellow repubs think the same way because it's cheaper to address the addiction than it is to warehouse non-violent users.
So death to me and my fellow rethugs who hold the same ideas I do.
Where the hell did all you people come from?
Sally,
No one with a maturity level above that of a 15 year old is saying "death to republicans", but right now alot of gay people are extremely angry at your party because there is a widespread perception that all republicans at least tacitly approve of anti-gay political tactics. Speaking as a gay Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran I want to explode everytime I hear a republican say that they support the troops. They need to be more specific and say they support the troops who aren't fags. As far as Dennis Hastert and George Bush are concerned I suppose I deserve to have my career destroyed and life ruined if anyone finds out about my private life. I'm sure that your response will be that Clinton imposed the hideous "don't ask, don't tell" policy, but republicans are keeping it alive. Well over a hundred democrats and two republicans co-sponsored legislation to end DADT, but Hastert won't let it come up for a vote. Do I hate republicans sometimes? Yes, but when supposedely moderate republicans like Olympia Snow and Suzanne Collins support creeps like Hastert and DeLay its hard to separate out the good republicans from the bad ones.
armyguy there's a lot of vets coming back who feel the same way you do. some are going through culture shock when they realize what's been going on here while they were away, but that's no surprise to you I bet
Armyguy, the Repugs don't even support the straight soldiers! (Where's the body armor?) It's all just sanctimonious lip service.
But you're right that when it comes down to it, there's virtually no difference between the theocratic fascists of the GOP and the so-called moderates who enable them.
And Sally, your so-called pro-choice Arlen Specter voted to support the vile fascist Alito, whose appointment to the Supreme Court will mean the end of Roe v. Wade.
The lover of my best friend is with the Royal Air Force and when he tells them about gay life in the U.S. and the different groups hounding GLBT's they look at him like he's from another planet. They can't believe the same America claiming it's "bringing freedom" to the middle east allows certain other Americans to condemn us to death with their words, if not action.
que teste bonito! :D
Mike did not specify the election year.
So, Lindsay Graham, John Thune and Norm Coleman may yet be our candidate.
If you check the trackbacks to this site, one blog disapproves and calls Mike a 'knucklehead' and yet then notes that Chaffee was the lone Republican to vote against Alito. Seems lib-rool Republicans are fair game to him!
John Thune had Jake/Jim Gannon/Guckert secretly write puff pieces for him in his race against Daschle. Was that all Jake puffed?

It would be interesting to do a comparison of the so called patriotic repubs compared to the dems in congress to see which group has more people who searved in the military. I was in the Air Force myself.
If you choose to play any part in a conspiracy, any role whatever, you're as bad as the worst of the conspirators.
This is a fundamental principle of criminal and moral responsibility.
Mental reservations and any alleged residual decency count for nothing, NADA.
So ALL Republicans are fair game.
Because every last one of them is part and parcel -- and a political beneficiary -- of The Great Right Wing Hate Machine.
They get the racist vote, the hater vote, the religious bigot vote.
Every Republican is accountable for the bastards they represent, the bastards that elect them.
They are fair game, every one of them.
After all, that is how they play the game. THEY set these rules.
Having made the rules, if they were not legitimate, fair game, they would have the wisdom and decency to withdraw from the Party of Hate.
Lugar.
Craig.
This is merely a matter of giving the Rethugs a dose of their own medicine.
It's not as though anyone is actually doing anything to them, it's just fate manifesting itself.
Karma.
The thugs are the source and cause of anything we can use to harm them.
Y'all HAVE been noticing the tactics they've been using for the last several decades?
It's time to fight back, and give them dirty for dirty.
Death to Republicans?
Only in a metaphorical, political sense.
Should have been done long ago.
And gee, isn't it fun to watch the Republican trolls as they sincerely, oh sooooooo sincerely, defend the privacy of these poor closeted gay Republican senators.
Betting my house and property you have nothing on anybody ... will just try to smear someone with whom you disagree. Nice to see the hate filled Moonbat Left doesn't disappoint us. We can always count on them to spew bile and venom.
Sally is a non-enthusiastic republican. She says she is a republican except for... and then lists just about everything they stand for. There is but one issue she cares about, whatever that is. Her abortion stance is retarded. A fetus conceived in rape is expendable but one by a juvenile girl is sacred and said girl and her abortionist must be declared enemies of the state and punished accordingly. No central intellectual consistency or moral focus here by any definition. Just a collection of random special interests. She is not alone. We won’t get her swing vote next election but we will get many like her. We will take over the house and senate because people will see that, like Clinton, we will be better at managing this country fiscally and less Intrusive. this administration is anathema to true conservatives.
please check out peter's web site above. this is your average republican. what a heart attack waiting to happen. I would say he should schedule his lap band operation asap
sally, you should send peter bubba DiGaudio a line. you'd make a cute couple.
Actually, I don't belong to any political party. Never have, never will. That means I can criticize both sides equally.

Just keep it up ... you hate-filled bastards keep marginalizing yourselves. There is a reason why you have no voice in the political forum, and that is because no one wants to hear your hate.
You launch ad hominem personal attacks rather than debate or discuss ideas. I am guessing it is because you have no ideas.
Just keep posting one moonbat to another and see how easy it is for an overwhelming majority of Americans to ignore you.
You are a small tiny minority quite frankly whose opinions are so laughable they don't even merit the time from serious, intelligent people to consider.
Enjoy your 40 years in the wilderness ... or longer.
ArmyGuy,
I do want to thank you for your service. Please don't explode because I do support our troops; gay, straight, into bdsm or asexual or whatever. I just don't give a flip about people's sexual orientation as long as they can serve with honour and can do the job as it's supposed to be done.
About the only thing I'll say about Clinton is what he did was at least provide a start which was more than what was and had been.
I've never served in the Armed Forces. I know there are gays that have and I'm not naive enough to think that once Clinton ok'd the d.a.t.a. that all of a sudden gays appeared in the armed services. Gays have always served even when they had to lie and had to sweat being found out.
What I'd like alot of y'all to realize is I'm not unique. My thoughts, feelings and ideology are held by a lot of repubs. Are we the majority in the party? Hell, no but minds and hearts are slowly changing.
If y'all can make it through boot camp and all the training I see no reason why gays can't serve their country in the military if they want to. I'd qualify gay service the same way I would hetero service. If either group is going in to be horndogs towards their fellow troops then neither should be welcome to serve. (And remember there are females serving that the straight guys could hit on.)
Hell, who cares what your sexual orientation is as long as you can get the job done. Whose business is it what your sexual orientation is? It's nobodys!
I'd like to draw an analogy and I hope it doesn't offend anyone.
Once upon a time women were regarded as chattel. We were considered inferior. Over time that has changed. I've seen major changes in my own lifetime.
I came from an upper middle class background. My Dad was the breadwinner and my Mom stayed at home to take care of the house, raise us two kids and be the wife. She waited on my Dad hand and foot because after all, that's what wives were for. She cooked, cleaned, sewed everyone's clothing except for Dads. Dinner was on the table promptly at 6:00. Breakfast was on the table with the same promptness. She'd bring my Dad a cup of coffee or a bowl of ice cream whenever he wanted it. If she needed a pair of shoes or wanted a new 'something, anything, whatever' she asked my Dad for permission to spend the money. (Remember, it wasn't about whether we could afford it because we could). Even though she was asked by neighbors on our street to come to coffee in the morning, she never did because Dad didn't think she needed to be wasting her time. In effect my Mom was still treated as chattel.
My Dad sent me to college strictly for the purpose of finding a husband. Being the dutiful daughter, I found one and married him. I didn't complete college because after all, I'd accomplished what I was supposed to.
In my first marriage I worked up until I was 5 months pregnant. One job I held was for a bank in the 'collection' department. My duties were to log in payments and contact customers who were 10 days past due.(Boring!) One day they allowed me to skip trace a lady who was several months delinquent. It turned out I was good at finding people because I brought a different perspective to it. Shortly thereafter one of the male collectors quit and I asked the boss if I could take over his desk. I was told no because that job wasn't open to females. At the time females could be minor clerks or hold other similar positions but we couldn't advance further.
The money I earned went into the household checking account. I was given an allowance of $15.00 a week for groceries. Just like Mom, I would ask if I could spend money on anything other than groceries. I had to ask permission to spend my own damned money. I also had to wait on him hand and foot. I left him when my son was 11 months old because I'd had enough and he wasn't going to ever have another opportunity to hit me again. I called my Dad after 'beloved' locked me out of my house. (Mom died when I was 18 so she wasn't around to give me any moral support) My Dad did his level best to make me go back because after all, I must have not been a good enough wife and besides, divorce wasn't something that was done by 'good' wives.
During all of this time, women were starting to make small gains in different arena's. Anyway, I divorced the jerk and vowed I'd never ask for permission to do anything ever again. (And I haven't!)
I went back to work at a much better job and it was one I wouldn't have been allowed to have even 5 years earlier.
As conditions for women got better I took advantage of them. Eventually I started a career in mortgage banking. Not a job but a career.
My whole point in relating all of that is things don't change overnight. Some who should have been my champions weren't. Minds and hearts had to change before women were given the same opportunities as men were.
I've experienced prejudice because of who I am and isn't that similar to your experience? I don't mean to make light or to demean your experiences. I speak up about prejudice and I do my best to change peoples minds. Someday it won't matter whether someone's male, female, gay, straight, black, white. Someday it will be about capability.
Giorgio,
You're wrong about support for the troops. Yeah, there's a shortage of armoured humvees but that's slowly being rectified. I know on the RW board I'm a member of we harassed everyone we could think of over and over (and still are) to get on the ball and properly armor our troops.
For awhile we were sending care packages but we changed what we were sending. Now we send specialized lights which can be mounted on the different vehicles and helps our troops to be able to see at night and during sandstorms. When we found out the standard issue knives were a piece of crap, we researched and found some good ones to send. Now we've got a backlog for the lights and especially for the knives. From the emails we receive it appears that anyone that sees one of the knives in action wants one. We do our best to get them to them.
Now, as far as Roe v Wade goes. While Roe v Wade itself may be rescinded it will be because it's found unconstitutional and should have been a states issue. BUT, I'm inclined to bet Roe v Wade won't ever be rescinded. I'm even willing to put my money where my mouth is.
You're the one who sounds like a hater, Peter.
I don't hate anyone. I simply disagree with you. And in many ways, I feel sorry for people who are as consumed with hatred as people like you are.
What happened to disagreeing with people without having to be disagreeable and hateful? It's why your side simply cannot win elections. No logical, sensible voter is going to vote for any candidate not offering a positive vision.
All the Left does in America is spew venom and hatred for the U.S. of A. I have offered many times to buy one-way tickets to a country of their choosing for many of the America-haters. No one takes me up, of course, because they know unlike other countries, they won't be put in prison for it. Just laughed at.
It's why an embittered minority from the kook fringe such as yourselves do not bother or concern me at all. You cannot make a difference in this country because the majority of Americans simply ignore you. That is why the louder you yell, the more divisive and shrill you become, the less you are heard.
You really don't sound like someone with an advanced degree Peter. Did you buy your grades like Dubya did? Go re-read your own posts... FULL OF HATE! Here, take this bucket of stones and as Jayzus Praise da Lard commanded, start throwing!
Hey peter (good name!) BLOW ME!
Well, no one chose to put forth many candidates from Class I of Senators. As before, I doubt any of the fine Female Senators were cruising the Tea Rooms looking for and engaging in public sex. I see more than one in this set of choices that probably has played (is still playing) the "hide the skin torpoedo" game. Don't forget the one rule of the game: ...closeted Republican Senator...

You are nuttier than a Chinese Chicken Salad .. th-th-th-th-th-th-th-that's all Folks!
By the way ... you can keep talking to yourselves ... I am finished with you. Enjoy your long losing streak, it must really suck to be you ... marginalized to the kook fringes of society where your opinion doesn't even matter! Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
[Oh well Michael, if you feel like cleaning up that errant html italics tag, please feel free.]
Peter, at least in college you learned what an ad hominem attack is, or did you learn that from Michelle "lock up all the ferners" Malkin?
What a ruse to get people to your blog!
So, let me guess. This 'outing' is provoked by the oh, so compassionate Democrats lead by 'Screw 'em' Kos, no doubt! The Democrats and the Left want you to think they 'care', yet they're the ones who use 'outings' and other personal attacks to influence other people's votes. That's the very definition of corruption!
Let's see -- there's been an arch-conservative confirmed to the Supreme Court, and there's been a State of the Union speech by the president. And yet no new posting on this blog since January 30th? Can you say "irrelevant"?
Keith,
Your definition of being a Catholic is quite antiquated. And you being homosexual makes it even more unfortunate that you keep the self-hating attitude that you have. And because a Catholic doesn't follow lock step every alleged Catholic rule, you actually believe that aren't really Catholic. If that's the case, then I'm afraid you are one of the very few Catholics around. It most feel even lonelier then. Sorry, but most straight Catholics I know use birth control, even the ones that are married. As for myself, I was born Catholic, but have left the Church, partly because of the anti-gay heirarchy. I may go back when they check their calendars and realize it's no longer the 1400s. In my job though, I do know several nuns, and almost all of them accept me, and have met and enjoyed the company of my boyfriend. And no, it's not the "love the sinner, hate the sin" crap. Too bad you cannot accept yourself. What a waste. Believe me it is, because I also went through the self-hating crap for several years. It's refreshing to see more and more people not go through that anymore.
Struggling,
What's there to struggle about then. You say you are attracted equally to women and men. If you are a "good Catholic," you won't have sex until you are married, and you would be able to marry a women you are attracted to. So what's the struggle? Something tells me that you really don't have the attraction to women that you say you have. Or even if you did, your attraction to men is much stronger, enough so that you cannot now nor will never be able to control that attraction despite what you say. Anyway, I do wish you good luck in your self-hating phase, and hope you are able to accept yourself soon.
Sally,
It does appear that you do support gay rights, but only so far. Your reasoning, however, for opposing gay marriage is lame. It's no better than the reasoning that those who were against interracial marriage. Their argument was marriage is between a man and a woman of the same race. Convincing argument, right? But I tell you what. I'm sure that when you find the right guy, instead of marrying him, you will instead, do all the things you say a gay couple can do to have almost the same rights of marriage. Thanks in advance.
Peter,
I think we can agree that there are haters on both sides of the aisle. And since the Republicans have their share of haters, how does it explain that they are in power now. In terms of President, Bush won with a smaller percentage of the popular vote in 2000. And as an incumbent, also barely beat his Democratic challenge in 2004. Hardly a mandate. And despite the Democrats being a bunch of haters, Bush's approval rating still hovers at 40%. Anyway, we'll see what happens in November and 2008.
As noted by others, Michael Rogers doesn't state that it is a senator up for reelection this year. I'm betting that it's one who's up for reelection in 2008. If I'm right, his wife was also at the SOTU, but they weren't sitting together. Also, as unusual as it may seem, it doesn't surprise me that a pathetic hypocrite would use a bathroom at Union Station for oral sex. Some people are that pathetic. For those who don't know, Union Station is Washington's main train station, serving AMTRAKk and Maryland and Virginia's rails. Above the station is a mall that is also called Union Station. There is also a Metro Stop at Union Station on the red line, but it is not a transfer station.
Hey Peter, vaffanculo, tu fascista di merda.
Have you been living in some right-wing echo chamber for the past six years? In case you hadn't noticed, most Americans don't support Bush and his merry band of corrupt oligarchs, theocratic fascists and war nuts. They oppose his social security plan, oppose the war in Iraq, his economic policies, his stance on Terry Schiavo and on stem cell research. And even on gay rights and abortion the general Anerican public is far more liberal than the Bush Admninistration. The problem is we don't have a real opposition party in this country to take advantage of all the widespread but still inchoate discontent.
And Sally, you gave yourself away with that bit about Roe v Wade being unconstitutional. That's pure rightwing boilerplate, i.e., "the founding fathers [sic] didn't put a right to privacy in the Constitution," blah blah blah. And it's body armor that hasn't been provided. That has been widely reported in case you hadn't heard. There was a recent story reporting that quite a few deaths could have been averted if soldiers had had body armor. But as we know, Bush and Rummy decided to wage their little war for oil on the cheap.

"you hate-filled bastards keep marginalizing yourselves. There is a reason why you have no voice in the political forum, and that is because no one wants to hear your hate."
ah...sounds like a hateful rant to me.
"You launch ad hominem personal attacks"
calling someone a hate-filled bastard is an ad hominem personal attack.
this guy is no intellect. ignore him. I would advise him to take a logics class.
Sally is right though. row v wade won't be overturned. If it was you would have a situation where in one state abortion could be consedered first degree murder and in another state not even a misdemeanor. talk about a constitutional crisis
Well, here's our third set of Senators up for re-election. Remember, the Female Senators probably aren't going into Union Station to practice their skin flute tunes. And, of course, don't forget the one rule of the game: ...closeted Republican Senator...
Then ask yourself this: does it make much sense that Michael would post an article on January 30, 2006 that would have an effect on someone running for re-election in 2008 or 2010? This article would be buried so deep in the archives that most people might not even remember it. Go ahead and give it a try though. I know I see at least one Senator in the list who should be careful with fingerprints and DNA evidence in the Tea Rooms!

Article I, section 3 of the U.S. Constitution mandates the Senate's class structure.
"This 'outing' is provoked by the oh, so compassionate Democrats"
Compassionate to evil? Uh, no.
"lead by 'Screw 'em' Kos, no doubt!"
Do you even know what blog you're on or has the hillbilly heroin already kicked in?
"The Democrats and the Left want you to think they 'care'"
Care for those who are evil? Uh, no.
"yet they're the ones who use 'outings' and other personal attacks"
Telling the truth is a personal attack? I guess the oxycontin is working its wonders on you, after all. And how can reporting that someone is something as wonderful as "gay" be an attack? Sounds like a compliment to me. Do you consider being gay a bad thing? That's nice. Take some more pills, sweetie.
"to influence other people's votes. That's the very definition of corruption!"
No, hon -- telling the truth about evil people is the very definition of democracy. But I can see how that would be lost on you. Back to the other drug addicts with you...
Giorgio,
Nice job calling Peter a $hitty fascist.
People like you spread so many falsehoods and you do it without any documentation to back your position.
Here's a clue about support for Bush. Kerry lost, Bush won. Get over it! Your statement about most Americans not supporting Bush is erroneous otherwise Bush wouldn't have been re-elected and we'd have President Kerry instead.
Most polls have a minimum of 4 choices. If one doesn't take the middle two options into consideration it skews the poll. So as an example 40% can vote that Bush is doing an excellent job while 16% may say they disagree with some of his actions/policies. Thirteen per cent can vote against Bush by saying they support a few of his actions/policies while the remaining 31% actively oppose all of Bush's policies. Given that scenario I could legitimately say Bush's approval rating is only at 40%. Now, I used those numbers as an example only because I didn't look at the latest poll.
I'll agree most people didn't support Bush's specific plan he was promoting for SS revision. Now, tell me what the Dem's plan is? Or should we act like ostriches until SS does go broke and then enact panic legislation? Or maybe we should simply raise SS taxes in an amount sufficient to cover SS disbursements. I'm sure you won't mind funding my retirement (when I do retire) now will you?
War in Iraq = Purple fingers! Only in America could the LSM and anti-war people snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory. Y'know, you're right, we should have just slapped another resolution on Iraq instead of enforcing any of the previous 14. After all, those resolutions were working so well, weren't they? Poor France, now that the Oil for Food program is no longer in effect, their banks aren't being used to bank and disburse the funds. Poor Germany. their contracts with Hussein to develop and renovate Iraq's oil and gas fields once the embargo was lifted are now null and void. Horror of horrors, did you hear Kofi Annan's son had to get a real job now that he couldn't be paid for his 'consulting' services? Poor guy! And then for your own Dad to apologise for your actions, what's the world coming to?
Now which poll are you using to back up your statement about most American's opposing Bush's economic plan? BTW, how was it worded?
Terri Schiavo - My guess is you don't talk to many of the members of organizations which deal with disabilities do you? Anyway, my own personal opinion is Frist went too far and Greer should have recused himself since he had ties to the hospice where Terri was being held. I also had a major ick with the lengths the Schindlers would go to in order to keep Terri alive if they were granted custody. I do find it rather odd Schiavo would testify in court during the malpractice suit he'd use any monies awarded to keep Terri alive and yet once he had the award in hand he issued DNR orders and petitioned the court for permission to pull her feeding tube.
Hey Giorgio you are aware fetal stem cell research is still going on in this country aren't you? There's no ban on private funding of fetal stem cell research. Federal funding was banned on future harvested fetal stem cells. Any existing fetal stem cells could be used in research funded by the feds. If the free market believes there's value in the curative powers of fetal stem cells, the private sector is free to invest in the research. Oh, you have heard other countries are finding through their research that adult stem cells have greater potential than fetal stem cells do. There's also no ban on federal funding of cord blood stem cell research. Keep spreading your misinformation though.
Let's see, the latest Zogby poll on abortion finds a sharp decline in the American public's support for abortion. Ten years ago 68% supported abortion, the latest Zogby poll finds 52% are in support. I wouldn't call 52% a large majority.
Gay rights...In every state in November, 2000 where the gay marriage initiative was on the ballot it was defeated and that included the states which Kerry carried.
I've read recent stories about deaths which could have been averted if their Humvee's had been properly armored. Do you have any links supporting your contention about body armor? Before I write any letters to my elected officials condemning and complaining about the lack of body armor I'd like to be able to cite where I got my information. I'm so sorry about needing factual information but I just don't think writing that some guy named Giorgio on an internet board said it carries quite the same impact as citing AP or Reuters, etc.
Sorry but my statement about Roe v Wade is correct. SCOTUS used the right to privacy of a woman's body as the rationale to make Roe v Wade the law of the land. It's unconstitutional because Roe V Wade is a states' right issue. Prior to Roe v Wade it was being treated as a states' right issue because abortion on demand was legal in New York and California while being illegal in all other states.
Uh yeah, war for oil. How's that working out for ya? In my area gas prices aren't any cheaper. Besides, everyone knows you've got it all wrong! Didn't you get the barking moonbat memo? Sheesh, everyone knows we went to war where Cheney could make more money with Halliburton. /sarc
There's plenty of Sally's points in her 1:24p I'd like to respond to but good gawd my A.D.D. kicked in halfway through reading all of that.
you are stupid Sally. What is constitutional or unconstitutional is what the latest ruling of the court decides. you may disagree with the ruling but the constitution does not interprete itself. If it did there would be no need for a supreme court just a computer. the way the constitution is interpertated now is what the constitution 'is' and it is the law of the land period.
for an antidote to Sally's stupid conservativsm her is some of the smart variety:
http://time.blogs.com/
daily_dish...ing_for_co.html
and this and Andrew in general:

daily_dish...age_in_can.html
there is a reason that dem are progressives. the trend is for gay rights. the fortune 500 know this and there policies show it. they, like dems, are progressive and forward looking. repubs are stuck in the mud opposing every gay rights gain that has been won on all levels of govt. They in fact are moving backward getting less gay votes then ever before.
Sally sounds like The_Holy_Paladin on another site. But, isn't it amazing how he's turned the discussion into something completely different?
He/she hasn't turned the discussion into anything, just thinks he/she did.
the first link I posted above links to ret. senator and episcopal priest Danforth. he presided over Reagan's funeral and seems like a distant memory of a conservatism that has been bushed out of site by this administration.
I know this is off topic, but does Boehner have any gay staffers? The world has a right to know. Go to it, Michael. Any guesses as to who the senator in question is, or should I read all 400 comments?
What is strange about Sally and her ilk, is that they claim to want a nonintrusive government, but cling to the belief that right to privacy is not in the Constitution. They desperatly want a constitution that does not imply a right to privacy as if privacy is some kind of evil.
Sallys equation in a nutshell:
a lack of a right to privacy = less intrusive government. That is just Orwellian
Fascinating how the "Christian" Creeps bash queers in general but whine like babies when one of their hypocritical gay operatives is outed. I love it. Stuff your Jesus up your ass!
Michael rules
what a lot of the idiots don't realize about the word "privacy" and its lack of inclusion in the constitution is that the word meant a different thing back when the constitution was written. same sort of thing happened over 2000 years ago with the word "virgin"
What ever happened to Michael's first big trophy -- the loathesome yet somehow pathetic Jim Schrock? Is he still working at that staff job on the Hill?
good old mr. schrock has been sort of out of the news lately hasnt he
Indeed he has.
someone told me a while back schrock was passing out bibs and finger towels at union station
LOL. Queer Republicans seem to have this bizarre fascination with bathroom sex.
i guess it brings back memories of their dads with plungers in the bathroom when they were growing up
Could be. One thing's for sure. They're fucked up.
Laughing My Ass Off at over 400 comments and most from "Compassionate Conservatives" clutching their own pearls while trying to read everyone else's beads! Congratulations, Mike! MUAH!
I'm not gay; not that there's anything wrong with that!
So you cons are aginst Mike saying, hey that gay dude won his election to the Senate by backing anti-gay policy? Wouldn't you want to know why a GAy dude backs an anti-gat agenda? I think we should have scientists researching this type of bahavior. It's not homophobic to ask that question. It's homophobic not to ask that question.
Dickwads-
He is not going after this guy because he is GAY. He is going after him becuase he is a HYPOCRITE. It is not that hard to understand.
@Sally,
A Pentagon study, completed last summer, examined the deaths of 93 Marines who suffered upper body wounds in Iraq between 2003 and 2005. It concluded that a better designed armored vest could have saved 74 of them, or 80 percent. The number would be much higher if Army deaths had also been included in the study.
For the moment, the only explanation the military has for purchasing inadequately designed body armor is that a larger vest capable of protecting the torso and shoulders would have been too cumbersome for troops in the field. But that argument is a thin one, given that the Marine Corps began to order the better designed vests once the study results were known.
Regrettably, even now there is a lag in getting the better vests to the troops. The New York Times reports that as of December, less than 10 percent of 28,000 ceramic vests had been issued to Marines in Iraq. Army troops face even longer delays.
The NYT reported about this study on January 7, 2006
your right sally, the republican party has not been taken over by the religious right

You people still believe this story?? It's completely retarded.
Tell me, which scenario is more likely?
1) A Senator gets a BJ in a public restroom at a busy train station (that alone is totally absurd), and a prominent blogger is using that knowledge to publically blackmail him (seriously, who'd be that stupid to break the law and let the whole world know about it?).
or...
2) A prominnet blogger posted a fake letter to generate a lot of attention and indirectly threaten all the closet congressman "hypocrites" out there.
#2 just seems way more rational than #1. Heck, #2 seems like a pretty good idea given this blogger's motives. But #1 is insane.
Did I actually write "publically?" Wow.
oh, nevermind. "Publically" is actually a variant of "publicly." I must have known that already on some subconscious level...
Apparently, Homosexuals eat their own. Who would have known?
At least he's not doing it pubically.
Homosexuals eat their own
Not hardly. These closet queens are in a class by themselves. No one really claims them.
Lot of hate and bigotry on both sides of the aisle here. I don't feel like being a target anymore. This stupid, promiscuous, old, frustrated fag hag is leaving the hate and bigotry behind and moving on.
Enjoy yourselves and I hope it makes y'all feel good about yourselves.
Don't go Sally... we hardly even knew ya
Are you people falling for this shit again? Once more, Mike has promised something and not delivered. Who is the Senator? As you will note, his most current posting is dealing with Andrew Sullivan. Is he a U.S. Senator? How many times must this guy promise something and then not deliver before you all wise up?
What do you care? Are you paying to hear this? I know I'm not.
DT, I'm an Occam's Razor type of person myself. But either scenario you mention seem equally likely and rational to me. As long as homosexuality is not generally accepted, there will be people having sex in bathroom stalls, including government officials.
Wrote "Willem van Oranje" -
"The NYT reported ... "
THAT in itself should be THE primary caveat.
What Willy AND the disgraced NYT failed to report is that the TROOPS & MARINES don't WANT no more steeking 'body armor'!
As a former Infantryman, I can attest to the fact that the advantages of "body armor" are very limited & severely exagerrated.
BUTT ...
I digress:
Just thought I'd pop in for a daily dose of cheerleading and common sense:
SLANDEROUS, THREATENING, ANGRY, BITTER, AND OFT-LOSING DEMOCRATS JUST CAN'T HELP RUINING THEIR CHANCES TO EVER WIN ANOTHER NATIONAL ELECTION.
WE love it of course.
Y'all just keep making US winners while making yerselves appear oh so much MORE intellectually challenged.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, boys!!

the way the open letter is worded might make Michael have to think twice about revealing the name. I wish he would just have stated that he intended to reveal the name NO MATTER WHAT.
However it all turns out I'd be willing to bet there's a lot less "traffic" in Union Station these days by certain people.
It is Jim Talent, no question about it
so nice to hear from rokketmania - another fine example of the effects of religion on people. evangelical christianity is at the heart of all the nastiness in this country. name one good thing those people have done. they are smug, arrogant and rotten to the core. religion is just a lot of power-obsessed bullshit.
PocketRokketMan likes to stir shit up just like he tried to do on this site:

So: someone who is GAY has his little knickers in a twist because some politician didn't vote the way HE thought he should vote. And this is justification for accusing said politician of being GAY in an attempt to ruin his career. (Jeez. Like bein' gay is BAD or somethin'). What? Oh. Not because he's gay, but because he's such a hypocrite? Sorry. My mistake. Let's just try to ruin everyone's career, everywhere then. Hypocrisy must not be tolerated!
Priceless.
Could you please be a little more petty and immature?
Here's hoping your evidence is a bit more legitimate than, say, the Bush Nat'l Guard 'documents' that CBS and the esteemed Mr. Rather trumpeted so loudly (i.e. your 'proof' wouldn't involve the use of PhotoShop or anything like that, would it?).
Yep, we trolls do crawl out of the woodwork, don't we?
Yeah rightwingnutjobshill and when the lights get thrown on you all scatter just like the cockroaches you are too.
Is the gay "Republican senator" actually a Democrat representative named Murtha? What's the latest news on Murtha's fraudulent Purple Hearts?
Murtha's purple hearts are fraudulent? and Kerry's too? How about your purple hearts Tom are they legit?
jeff, Tom doesn't have any purple hearts. He's got a broken heart though, cause no one is stupid enough to have him.
jeff-seattle:
Kerry's Purple Hearts are fraudulent as well? Duuuuhhhh.
You still have not answered Tom, what about your purple hearts. I don't have any, but did searve in the Air Force.you?
just for you tommy girl:

Polixter, what's the dirt on Jim Talent?
jeff-seattle:
Me - U.S. Army Infantry, baby.
DT,
#1 is most likely... I was there so I can confirm that it is true.
Most of the guesses on his identity on this thread are incorrect... I sure am hungry for some POTATO pancakes.
@RightWingNutJobShill
Priceless. A rightwingnutjobshill has his little knickers in a twist because some politician don't have the same view he has and it's justification for questioning Vietnam Veterans their Purple Hearts (btw, has any of the neocons actually fought in the wars they've supported, chickenhawks); starting rumors the politician has a black baby, starting rumors the politician is a lesbian, starting rumors the pol has ... [you name it]. Hypocrite.
IOIYAR.
@Rokketmania
Well, isn't that OUTRAGEOUS? It's a Pentagon-study. And in the Pentagon study it is revealed that they are now supplying the TROOPS & MARINES with BETTER body armor. You and I should complain with the Pentagon. They are using OUR TAXMONEY for something you know the troops don't want (obviously you are in Iraq right now, correct?).
THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS! NO MORE ‘STEEKING BODY ARMOR FOR THE TROOPS’. SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! THEY ACTUALLY PREFER THE INADEQUATE BODY ARMOR!
So. That's better?
FIRST:
“so nice to hear from rokketmania - another fine example of the effects of religion on people. ‘evangelical christianity’ … .”
So solly, Cholly. I wasn’t aware that I ‘exposed’ my religious preference – or lack thereof. YOUS GUYS ARE A HOOT !!

@Rokketmania … “Well, isn't that OUTRAGEOUS? It's a Pentagon-study. And in the Pentagon study it is revealed that they are now supplying the TROOPS & MARINES with BETTER body armor … So. That's better?”
Ahem.
Unfortunately, the American military continues to be under civilian control. So what happens? The good soldierly leadership acquiesces to the ludicrous demands of military-hating, radical, left-wing cünts like Hillary who pander for votes anywhere she, er HE, can get ‘em.
WE STILL WANNA KNOW WHO WAS PUFFIN’ BWAWNY FWANK!!
(aint THAT a frightening thought!)
Put up or shut up, ya libelous skanks.

Why should we, Rokketmania? You, as a right-winger, don't belong to the "reality-based community," i.e., you guys just make shit up. So why would rational argument and empirical evidence make any difference to you? You just believe what your hero Bush and his band of oligarchs and religious nutjobs tell you.
Oh, Sally?
Good riddance, you Bushloving hag.
Funny how all the wingnuts comment here about the need for fairplay. When's the last time anyone in the GOP played fair? The gloves are off, and it is time for all the righteous talking Republican self-hating gays and adulterers to be thrown out of office.
rokketmania - another example of the stupidity of religion and its toxic effect on people. what an asshole.
"rokketmania - another example of the stupidity of religion and its toxic effect on people. what an asshole."

what is the he-man rokketmania doing on a gay blog? it's always the bottoms who are the bitchiest, most snarling barkers. make sure he uses a condom, sugarbuns.
rokketmania, let's all join together in the hymn O HOW I LOVE JIZZES..
sing it, girl. you know the lyrics.
LOL
You WISH these buns were a catchin' anything!
WE'RE STILL WAITING FOR THE LIBELOUS INSTIGATING EXTORTIONIST TO PUT UP OR SHUT UP.

rokketmania, still waiting for that log cabin syrup for your pancakes?
say hello to rev. dr. dumbfuck and all the rest of those evangelical morons you frequent.
I assume it's Sen. Mitch McConnell -R KY and Majority Whip, gay husband of Elaine Chou, Secretary of Labor. You wanna give it up and out him already, Mike?
Clearly Mr. Rokket has had his face in his mother's diseased twat for too long and is now in the final stages of some godawful VD.
Hope it's slow and painful Rokky!
"Clearly Mr. Rokket has had his face in his mother's diseased twat for too long and is now in the final stages of some godawful VD."

I Wonder ...
Is THAT why yous guys can't win an election - the classy nature of your debate?
~(Ä)~
.
While I am outraged that a Gay Senator would vote against his own people, I am equally shocked that you would stoop to blackmail as a way of political influence. We can not expect to win support is we do everything by blackmail. Mr. Rogers, I ask you to consider what you're doing. You are reperasenting the entire comunity and not all of us support your radical ideas about political influence. Please considers this.
Mike
First, you should send this letter to all married US Senators and watch them sweat--
No honestly---I can only support this type of outing when it is done straight forward and the mission to expose the hypocrisy. When it becomes blackmail, well I think Delay, Rove and others. Blackmail vs. hypocrisy -makes me unhappy and how far we have sunk.
Just expose the hypocrit. Think of the damage he does to gay rights with his self loathing and seeking daddy's love and approval. I really like you Mike and I understand your anger, I really do. But this just makes us look bad in the end.
IF the LGBT community decides to keep someone's orientation a secret, (and they aren't bothering or discriminating against us), THAT'S A GIFT, it is NOT a privlidge. I say out this beard-married low life skanky Senator. I think it's a Nevada Senator, who's name sounds like a Naval rank. Wonkette's blog made me look in his direction.I'll keep checking this site to see if I solved the riddle.
I appreciate this site taking on the heinous job of battling out of control Republicans. I thought the Democrats might have helped us with this chore. RNC are hateful,(especially their KKKloset cases like Mehlman and Rove), and the DNC/StonewallDems/HRC are useless.
I think America needs a third party , the Pink Pistols.
Out him soon please!
Are you aware that even on the internet Blackmail is a Federal Offense?
Dear Sir i was alerted to your blogg by a article in a papar i read online.
I wanted to say that we definitely need to work on our Rebublican Party and it is a grave concern to me that a man would or anyone for that matter abuse a child.
I though wanted to touch on this blogg if you were wise you should have posted the announcement instead you have belittled and beguiled your own reputation as a lech and a travesty to your own party.
As R it sucks right now because I know we have leadership that is destroying the fabric of America but you offer for those who may even considering a change in Novemember nothing new!!
You are as vile and lack substance as they do it is just more of the same. You have no intregrity.
it is a sad time for America and whatever you think you are contributing it is actually just as poor, nothing redeaming.
Peace
Enriqueta
What a Fat Ugly Gay Queen..you are positively a disgusting shit..hope you get AIDS & Hep C! You do a great deal of harm to Gay folks EVERYWHERE. If a person wants to come out of the closet that is that persons business, not some fat, ugly evil QUEEN like you Rogers. Warm Regards, SRF
Guess what, all you Demunist Dykes and Stalinist Sodomites? Not every homosexual has to support your Pinko Commiecrat turned Dhimmicrat agenda!
Some of them even understand that their relationships, whatever status they may or may not merit, don’t rise to the level of a marriage and a family! (Gasp! Horrors!)
Some of them understand that their private lives are just that, PRIVATE! As are yours!
And for that, the Stalinist Sodomites must hold a purge...
