The ONLY political strategy of the left is voter suppression.

They BITCH about it when the michigan 'pubs said, the only way to win is to convince blacks to NOT vote (for democrats, the left ignored that part of the e-mail) and they cried voter fraud, when actually it is this thing called "POLITICS!"

Meanwhile the dem's will praise "record and overwhelming turnout!" which hasn't happened yet, but now, the dem's are October surprising the 'Pubs, not with successes, but with 'pub "failures" in the hopes of forcing a "voter suppression." Will there be any lawsuits? will there be any rolling stone articles, will there be any VALID complaints by the right that are made, let alone published?

Of course not, cuz 'Pubs have these two things, even the women, called TESTICLES! We can take our hits, and not blame anyone else, but for the left? it is ALWAYS someone elses fault.

You go Slug...and you are damn right it is time to get angry!

You've been attacking gay people for years. Trying to regulate their private life, by overturning Lawrence V. Texas and imprisoning gay people. Trying to stop gay people from choosing their spouse. Nullifying contracts between gay people in Virginia.

You support laws that directly affect my private life.

And now you're just so offended that a Republican is outed as a hypocrite. Sorry - if Larry Craig wants to regulate my personal life - we have every right to expose his PUBLIC life (i.e. having sex in a public space - which is an illegal activity). Don't want to be outed - then don't have gay sex. Being gay is NOT a private activity.

Hey, Downtown Lad. I remember you well from Ace's site. Your reputation precedes you, and that's not a good thing.

You were banned there.

And now you're banned here. I don't want to give you a chance to engage in the same angry, hateful rhetoric here that you employed on Ace's site.

If you'd bothered to figure out what I believe, you'd find out that I am against the FMA, agnostic on gay marriage and actually rather libertarian on issues related to homosexuality.

I see, though, that you just engaged in unwarranted assumptions.

But I'm looking on the bright side - I got to join the club of conservative bloggers who have had the chance to ban you. Thanks for giving me that opportunity.

I'm voting TOMORROW absentee. I got motivated enough to go work for candidates this weekend. These people cannot have any reins of power.

It is legitimate to out gay Republicans, since that party stands for vitrolic hatred and bigotry against gay Americans. Homophobia harms people and people who use it to gain politically while engaging homosexuality themselves deserve public exposure and ridicule. Shame on homophobes of all orientations, but double shame on homophobes that are bisexual or gay.

Javier, the only person that stands for vitrioic hatred around here is you. You don't know us, yet you judge us out of hand as homophobes. What an idiot you are.

On a happy note, I will be making a special effort to vote, because of idiots that think they can sway me by crap like this.

Kane

You don't know us, yet you judge us out of hand as homophobes.

I don't think he was judging You, but casting judgement on your party, which is not known to be very tolerant of the homosexual community.

We know we can't sway you right wing guys. You guys are activists, sitting there reading blogs in your bedroom (or worse, at work). You guys would rather die than vote for a Democratic candidate. No, it's the undecided who need to be shown the true nature of the Republican party...the corrupt status quo that's held power for too long. (Don't worry, give Democrats a chance and they will probably rise to the same level, but we'll see...)

This is not about "outing gay Republicans" but exposing hypocrites who say one thing and do another. Do I say, not as I do. I can do what I want because I have the power and you don't. Well, most voters are sick of it.

Larry Craig being gay (or merely having occasional gay sex, even if he does self-identify as heterosexual) is not slander, not a disgrace, and not a big deal. What is a very huge deal is him being gay AND AT THE SAME TIME voting against the rights of the gay community.

I would never do what Rogers did. But Rogers cannot be dismissed as a thug. He has reasons for his actions which can easily be defended upon the basis of morality. And don't tar all liberals with the Mike Rogers brush. His actions are extreme, an opinion which apparently you and I share. I would never do what Rogers did, but I'm very glad he did it.

What is a very huge deal is him being gay AND AT THE SAME TIME voting against the rights of the gay community.

That's called integrity: i.e., putting your principles ahead of your self-interest. An alien concept to the liberal. And Rogers is a sickeningly grotesque thug.

That just means that rather than being just amoral, you're an amoral coward.
