3. No I don't know it
People here constantly "accuse" Republicans of being gay on the flimsiest of evidence.

So this guy lived with another man. I've known literally dozens of straight men who had similar living arrangements.

5. It's Not the Gay Part, it's the Hypocrisy
When Dem's complain about furtive Republican games about their closted Gays, it's the HYPOCRISY of the Pub's that rankles, not the Gayness.

I don't think the poster is bashing Gays. I think he/she is bashing Republican hypocrits. Kind of like hitting the broad side of a barn, eh?

6. I'm all for exposing hypocrisy
but the fact that he shared a home with a man isn't real evidence that he's gay.

People here are WAY too quick to assume that every republican is gay. It's offensive.

7. Didn't you know?
All men who live together are totally GAY! Hello!

Christ. Needless to say, I agree with you. And I'm so tired of some of the stupid shit on an otherwise informative website.

9. Be on the lookout for anything about the house being 'tastefully decorated'
That's a dead giveaway.

4. The Freepers are (again) terrified that the truth will come out.
Once again, through these murders, Republicans demonstrate just how corrupt -- mentally, emotionally, sexually and morally -- they are. And, once again, Freepers show that they are much less concerned about the implications of the truth than they are about keeping said truth concealed.

The following is from a post on this subject over at Rimjob land:


To: moonman

Folks, this story opens an enormous can of worms which is going to be very bad for conservatives in the Southeast. Gonzalez and his firm, based at his address, have all kinds of connections to GOP conservatives around the country. It has satellite offices in Atlanta and Nevada. Gonzalez and his partner (not one of the three) were close associates of Ralph Reed in Georgia. They worked against former Senator Cleland. They were involved in the Florida recount in 2000! (Gonzalez’s partner ran the FL GOP at the time). They worked for Schundler in New Jersey.

Abrami, who is clearly the YR who ran into trouble for using a Clinton photo as a target 15 years ago was involved with Douglas Goetzlow(sp.?) the key player in one of the largest bribery scandals in Central Florida history.

The third guy, Mark Drake, has a more common name and is harder to track.

The circumstances make it almost certain that this is a gay triangle. This is going to be a big mess, unless we are very lucky. It is possible that one or more of these folks could be Freepers!

11. Strategum USA website


http://www.strategumusa.com

"Ralph Gonzalez was a key part of my team at House Campaigns when I was Florida Speaker of the House as well as my congressional race. The team at Strategum Group have been valued advisors on key issues in my district. They are a huge asset to any candidate or organization. There simply is no one better at strategy and analysis. I am proud to work with Ralph and the Strategum Group!

– Congressman Tom Feeney (R-Florida)
