I'm curious as to why you would bring up this subject, so soon after a bitter loss by these same Republicans.
It seems a bit like wanting to further punish
the Republican party for some political agenda and not for spiritual consolation.
Duh, maybe because it is NEWS!
I heard it last night for the first time watching Bill Maher on Larry King Live, and this seems a reasonable subject to discuss.
If it bothers you in the least, feel free to move on to another topic.
You don't have to know much or listen long to know that Maher deals in comedy, not truth or political science.
Actually, this rumor has been around for several years, at least since Mehlman took his current position. So it looks like you are the one who doesn't know politics very well. :D
Like I said, last night was the first time I have heard this and I keep up somewhat with politics.
Also, this was disclosed on CNN which is a news network, therefore it is news.
In fact, Bush appointed a record number of homosexuals to public office.
He invited a group of homosexuals into the White House, and asked them for their help.
Bush has been a better friend in fact to homosexuals than any previous president.
I never got the memo that the GOP is supposed to represent Christian ideals and family values. I think they've been less hostile than the Democrats, but I just haven't swallowed the Kool Aid on the GOP being a Christian party.
Maybe that's why I don't post in here
much - I don't drink Kool Aid :laugh:
Were you as outraged when Republicans outed homosexuals?
This is laughable.
So, if I understand you correctly, the truth is "a pointless slur."
Amazing....... you are quite possibly the most polarized person on this board - either you or our friend OldRegular.
