He had already decided to retire.

Actually he still has a good deal of support from the non-fundie Republicans. He voted for his constituents, not his feelings.

The thing that bugs me is that now all of the focus is on his coming out, not on the fact that he was driving a state car while drunk.

I don't think we're going to agree, so I'll leave it at that.

I remember a more innocent time when Limbaugh only left the country with his healthcare.

Denial much?

Boys. Settle.

Seattle?

Thanks, scaeagles for the response. I hate the pejorative nature of the phrase, "The Gay Agenda." What most people want, is simply equal rights. When terms like, "The Gay Agenda" are used, it implies that there are special rights being sought, and that there's a check list somewhere. "The Gay Agenda" sounds somehow sinister. It's as if the word, "Secret," is there between, "The," and "Gay," only silent. There is no secret gay agenda, just a desire to have the same rights as non-gay people, and have those rights protected by law.

Meg Whitman's attack ads against Steve Poisner had me wanting to check Poisner out. Sadly he's now running ads saying the claims are untrue. Too bad, she made him out to be a great candidate.

Moonbeam me up, Scotty.

What bugs me is he was plain driving while drunk, period. As far as the 'voting for his constituents' drivel he is passing out- bullshyt. (This is directed at him, MG- not you!) What, he's a political mercenary? Is that it? He couldn't run on an honest platform, so he had to lie and sell himself out to the people who could get him into office? He's a hypocrite, a liar, and he's harmed people with his actions. In other words, a perfect political model.
