Swinging Both Ways

When Jim McGreevey declared that he was a "gay American," I declared him a bisexual American, with much disagreement in my comments section (though Tammy Bruce agreed with me). Well, now it turns out that his "boyfriend" (who claims to be straight) says that I was right:

Through lawyers, Cipel had threatened to sue McGreevey for sexual harassment shortly before and after McGreevey's resignation. A lawsuit was never filed.

"I think McGreevey had no choice. There was a sexual harassment lawsuit against him. And he didn't know what to do, and his advisers told him, 'come out first,' and he would be perceived as the victim" and thereby gain control of the story, Cipel said.

While he said McGreevey did make sexual advances toward him on several occasions, Cipel said the former governor also frequently spoke about heterosexual encounters, including sex with prostitutes on trips to Germany and the Dominican Republic.

"I believe that Jim McGreevey is bisexual," Cipel said.

Color me unsurprised.

So true

Democrats rarely run for office on how evil
homosexuality is.

It allows openly Gay democrats to prosper in american
society.

The Republicans run on the "Smear the Queer" platform.
It makes it hard to be openly gay and republican.

Really?

Seems their greed for power convinced the Demorats to go after Foley in spite of his homosexuality. If getting back in power meant throwing their homosexual constituents under the bus, they would have done so in the twinkling of an eye.

Are you really naive enough to believe they would not have moved heaven and earth to keep this buried if he had a D- in front of his name?

Again, the ends justify the means, the mantra of the modern Democratic party. The dems just have a lust for power simply for its own sake the Republicans don't seem to share or comprehend.

Mike

what democrats went on the record about Foley?

As i recall they studiously stayed out of the fray
as hastert, boehner, alexander and foley got into
a circular firing squad.
