I am aware of the hell that they have created for themselves, but I believe sonething like this is just one more stop on their chosen, personal journey.<BR/><BR/>These are individuals who, I believe, bought into the whole "choosen" life style/will power nonsense and use that to justify their actions. But it's Ocam's Razor and the pot cannot hold itself. Certainly by this point in life he must understand that his desires are neither choosen or controllable through willpower and prayer. He must also realize that his politics, and the subsequent damage that he wreaks, are by products of his self hatred and therefore totally unjustifiable.<BR/><BR/>But he persues them anyway in wreckless disregard of the truth and when that occurs, he must be stopped by whatever means are necessary short of a Glock 9mm. Am I sorry for him? Absolutely. But because he's an immense fool than a victim.Tim in the Southhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477751212111695867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597399695555911907.post-41227309090450813332007-08-28T12:46:00.000-05:002007-08-28T12:46:00.000-05:00Pete, I am more than uncomfortable with outing.

A couple months ago I expressed my outrage at the outing (though not in the strictest sense, but more of the publicizing the private coming out of) Tyler Whitney. I hate it. And yet, here I am participating in the outing machine, how do I justify that?<BR/><BR/>Even before Tyler, however, when the DC madam thing broke, I noted that these are the people who make sex an issue and they should have to live in the world they created.<BR/>This situation is somewhere between the two. As you mentioned, we are holding him to his own public standards. Also, let's not forget if it weren't for his recklessness, there wouldn't be a police report or a Roll Call article. At the same time, I still pity him much the way I pitied Tyler. I pity him a little less because he did much more against gay rights than Tyler ever did. But still you have to pity someone who goes through life so ashamed of who they are that they have to do such things to hide their secret.Pink Elephanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17031605616491979253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597399695555911907.post-43221162760865759772007-08-28T10:26:00.000-05:002007-08-28T10:26:00.000-05:00I'm uncomfortable outing tolerant gays and lesbian...I'm uncomfortable outing tolerant gays and lesbians just because they happen to be Republican but I guess they're just holding this guy to his own "public" standards.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07614893991088767916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597399695555911907.post-91078401302263254152007-08-28T08:38:00.000-05:002007-08-28T08:38:00.000-05:00Larry Craig comedy video-http://podblanc.ath.cx/?q...Larry Craig comedy video-<BR/>http://podblanc.ath.cx/?q=node/5778Craig Cobbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02355439885680148262noreply@blogger.com
