The best thing the G.O.P. could do for itself in the long run is to tell it's people to come out of the closet and stop being demagogues about the whole issue. A certain Representative in the senior Republican House leadership lives with his male Chief of Staff in D.C., but has never come out of the closet- nor has his partner. His sexuality cost him a promotion when Delay had to resign earlier this year.

vacationed in the Dominican Republic with 3 or 4 other men and a large supply of Viagra. No, It wasn't Condesleeza, but your mind wouldn't have to rove too far to figure out who.

...the most open "secret" in Washington.

YouTube had Aravosis's video pulled for copyright infringement. There are other CNN videos up, but apparently, CNN is a wee bit nervous about liability.

They also edited the transcript onn CNN.com:

MAHER: Well, there's a couple of big people who I think everyone in Washington knows who run the Republican...

KING: You will name them?

MAHER: Well, I wouldn't be the first. I'd get sued if I was the first. (A PORTION OF THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS BEEN REMOVED)

KING: ... why would someone who is gay take public anti-gay positions? Why would you do that?

in political power. Also, many paedophiles and those who like young women (not maybe paedophile level but under age 18) in Republican, and some Democrat, circles. One guy, I forget his name, some bigwig booster for Clinton, just settled over paying teenage girls for sex in Florida. Plus we know of the allegations of the male prostitutes visiting the WhiteHouse, the 'call boy' ring that was run from BarneyFrank's apartment (without his knowledge supposedly), and the "Franklin Cover-up" (big Republican fund-raiser and paedophile network allegations.) Power corrupts, but more importantly, the elites and bankers know that they can 'use' corrupt people. So the parties and the elites use the perversions as blackmail so that they vote through their fundings, regulations, budgets, etc.

Apparently, CNN asked Youtube to take down the uncensored version of the video. Click on it and see what happens! CNN trying to rewrite history after we all saw it!!! Too funny. I am about to block CNN on my cable box for being a CIA unit.

Even their hypocrisy is a hoot. Who knew when they decried "Screw those gays!" that's literally what the Repugs were doing all those years?
