There’s nothing in the world like kinder gentler ten thousand points of light (oh, wait, that’s George the Smarter), um, compassionate conservatism, is there?

Guy is a yahoo from South Dakota, full of his own hot air. Page wrote a note on the web calling him JT Money.

It will be total gay fairy tale, no pun intended, self aggrandizing and self pitying.

Sheesh, I think I could barf.
Only good thing is now we can hate Pages, Page handlers and Congressmen all at once.
Plus Washington Media as always which musta known but are more complicit than Manchurian Concubines.
oh and I forgot, the South Louisiana media that make Manchurian Concubines look like the soul of transparency and integrity.
Oh sure, nobody knew for 6 years and gasp, the only person those pages told was Kolbe, who only happened to be a Gay Congressman.

there is so much sleaze and ickiness in DC and back in the Christian districts, we need intravenous anti emetics just to stay in.

Yall take care, this Trandahl is gonna be one big barf.

oh and my name is MinnieB9, but Bi works just fine.
This one is a Biyotch.
Betcher the Christins will vote Thug AGAIN.
that includes the ones from South Dakota.
they all know their thug boys are sleaze, but they still keep voting R.
oh and bout Iraq, I have given up on it.
Ya know why, the Christins know they have to bring home the troops, they knew it in 2004, they still keep voting thug.
2002 we could have stopped Bush, but the Christins ran to the polls in droves to vote for Bush’s moronic ass and huffed their way into a war they thought would be a piece of cake and now they will vote for Bush again.

Gay sleaze, predators, money handlers, who cares, the Christins will vote thug AGAIN.

Bi marks the spot just fine. BH.

I don’t trust or like any poster who uses the word “Yall” or “Y’All”.

It just always reminds me that the biggest terrorists in the history of our nation were southern confederates, the ones who wanted to break us up and tear us down, just so they could continue an inhuman economic system based on human slavery. Can’t stand them. And, when I see some a-hole with a confederate flag, I want to pound his ass.

Seems to me that the Republicans are gearing up to have their very own “Night of the Long Knives.” I wonder who’s going to put the shiv in Mehlman’s back?

Gay Republican? Mmmmâ€¦

The Republican platform is anti-gay, anti-choice, and, letâ€™s be honest here, racist and xenophobic (why build a 700-foot fence on the border with Mexico and NOT on the border with Canada?). My guess is that gay Republicans are so because they are more interested in wealth and power. After all, the Democrats have always been the party of the poor, the disaffected, and the disenfranchised. Some gay people do not want to be counted among those kinds of ranks. They rather take holidays in Provincetown, wear D&G cargo pants, and sit in the balconies of their million dollar condos in DC while they watch their lesser brethren be led to the slaughterhouse.

The author may emphasize the fact that he only supports moderate and fair Republican lawmakers, but that argument doesnâ€™t wash. This is the party of Bob Dornan, the venomously homophobic congressman (so vitriolic was he that some people questioned his mental sanity) who coined the acronym g.a.y. (got aids yet?) and whose chief of staff was Brian Bennett, a closeted self-loathing homo. How do explain this? How do you explain a homosexual working for a man like Bob Dornan?

And thatâ€™s just one example. Many of the anti-gay, anti-choice, xenophobic/racist Republican lawmakers in Capitol Hill employ gay staffers. Gay men (and Republican right-handers) like Kirk Fordham and Jeff Trandahl are accomplices in the dehumanization of gay people; furthermore, Fordham and Trandahl are not in the least concerned about the fate of the gay man at large, the gay men and women who live less glamorous lives in rural (or urban) America. Fordham and Trandahl care about their trips to Cape Code and their elite circle of friendsâ€¦

Thatâ€™s what a gay Republican is: a modern-day Uncle Tomâ€¦
