exactly, I think you'r starting to get the jist of American politics

[Flipside]

Well, to answer that, you have to ask yourself why he was pretending to be a heterosexual in the first place.

[Ford Prefect]

It is often much harder to be honest with those you truly care about.

*waits for kazan to ripp him as "unamerican"

@ above post
Well he was caring about two people at one time, not to mention keeping the fact that he was gay hidden while he was being elected. The people of new jersey didnt elect him because he was gay. Imagin if any american president was elected for one thing and then *suddenly* wake up one morning in the middle of a term and *suddenly* change his mind.  Would he be releceted? Would people still like him? Probably not. Best step down and salavage your cerdibility for later than risk it geting shot to hell.

additionaly this is aparently being brought out to pre-empt a sexual harasment suite from the guy, and the resignation has been timed  to prevent a specal ellection from giveing the governership from landing to a republican.

[Bobboau]

and has anyone noticed how that book about kerry's nam experience has been totaly nocked off the news by this. nicely played I must say

No, but you knew he was a lying bastard when you voted him in. That's why he's called a politician. They do that for a living. You can't act all suprised or anything.

[Rictor]

thats kind of stupid logic. As we all know, or I hope that we all know, cause otherwise my hours of furious ranting would have been in vain, I have no great love for Clinton.

But getting blown is a pretty ****ed up thing to get impeached for. Same thing here. Now IF all he did was take it up the poop-shoot, then I would view this whole affair with contempt for not only him, but also the homophobic environment that brought this about.

So, the question is Bobboau, where's that info coming from. Cause if he did all those things, he should resign. But if not, that this is a serious case of bad judgement and lack of huevos on his part. And by any chance was the Israeli called John Israel?

@ KT Read my edit on my last post, he got the latest part right.

@ bob
nobody really gave a **** about kerrys nam record anyway. oh you fought in a war, faked a bunch of heroic rescues to get a bunch of medals... nice try but we already know your voting record buddy.

god this thread needs to slow down

[Bobboau]

mostly stuff I heard from the conservitive radio show that was on when this broke,
but the whore thing (IMO the more important thing for describeing his charicter) is well known, I've heard the sexual harassment thing enough times to make me think it's legitimate, the rest you should probly take with some salt and wait and see.

IF the President was competent and was considered to be doing a good and honest days work for the people, I wouldn't care if he was a Homosexual Purple Monkey hybrid to be honest

And, in the UK at least, there are very very few up and coming Gay politicians. Oddly enough though, there are an awful lot of established politicians who suddenly come out of the closet. Why is this? Do these people suddenly wake up and decide they are Gay? No. They have been Gay or Bisexual for their entire adult lives, but you'd be surprised how many little doors are closed to Politicians who don't already have their foot in them

..... It's not like that's never happened before.

Drew: Don't even get me started on voting records. That's complete bull****.

LOL

It's scary really, you're probably right, you know, any other job a person would go for would be, supposedly by law, about your qualifications and experience, not your Private Life. In this case, as Bobb pointed out, the guy is running scared, but it's still a pity that being gay really matters so much, compared to, say, being good at your job

[Bobboau]

some interesting history

Even after leaving as homeland security adviser, Cipel remained a controversial figure because he kept his $110,000 state salary as a "policy counselor" to the governor. The administration has declined to describe his duties.

"He worked on a series of issues important to the governor," Aronsohn said yesterday. Asked what those issues had been, he said: "That's all I'm saying."

I'm sorry, I'm the biggest gay rights activist in southern Illinois, but that is just too much

[Ford Prefect]

Well, Drew, they should get off their moral high horses and learn to keep judgement in check.
