Like my example above of Toe-Tapping Craig sponsoring a bill against equal rights for gay couples and then looking for some man-love in a restroom.

First off, it's not very smart to label a whole group of people. And I don't believe that PaulS thinks all Republicans are bad. I also don't think you do, since you're a closet conservative. 
Craig probably is against gay rights because he's married and therefore gets the rights of a straight person. He probably secretly hates the fact that he has gay urges and this is how he copes. |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

No, definitely not. I don't want anyone to ever think that.
The POS was meant to refer to cheaters. I'll put them all in the same boat.
I use to vote primarily repub. but switched b/c I think their views have gotten very extreme (I'm sure many can come back w/that about dems.). Any time you have 1 party in power w/to much power they get complacent and lose touch w/their constituants. The repubs. need to start appealling to a younger more diverse pop.
Have a good holiday! |

Nice, he hates the fact that he's gay 
How about he probably hates the fact that society has made him life a disingenuous life and keeps him from being who he really is.

My fault, I misread his statement. Sorry Paul. |

Not sure on this one, if he spent government funds to do this then, he has no excuse and should be kicked out of office.
If he spent his own $$ and had a fling, it may be different. Many politicians on both sides have survived this type of backlash.
The people of South Carolina really like this guy and this may be survivable. He will not make the 2012 ticket, but may stay on as gov.
