Absolutely gob smacking case of GOP hypocrisy (Arpiao wanna be has a Mexican undocumented boyfriend)

wow just wow. Has to be read to be believed.

http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/2012-02-16/news/paul-babeu-s-mexican-ex-lover-says-sheriff-s-attorney-threatened-him-with-deportation/

Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu — who became the face of Arizona border security nationally after he started stridently opposing illegal immigration — threatened his Mexican ex-lover with deportation when the man refused to promise never to disclose their years-long relationship, the former boyfriend and his lawyer tell New Times.

The latest of the alleged threats were made through Babeu's personal attorney, who's also running the sheriff's campaign for Congress in District 4, the ex-lover says.

He says lawyer Chris DeRose demanded he sign an agreement that he would never breathe a word about the affair. But Jose (New Times is withholding his last name because Babeu and his attorney have challenged his legal status) refused.

The 34-year-old from central Mexico charges that the sheriff's lawyer warned against mentioning the affair with Babeu. DeRose said gossip about Babeu would focus attention on Jose, attention that could result in his deportation, Jose says.

end of quote

The hypocrisy is simply breathtaking on so many levels.

I don't think his constituents are going to be pleased by having to choose which group they hate more: gays or immigrants.

You know, whenever she pisses him off. (really, where is the sarcasm thing? I can't find it)

lol, I thought I had read that story earlier and didn't bother to reread it. Boyfriend! I swear the more anti homosexual they are, the higher the likelihood that they themselves are "protesting too loudly"

damn, just lol, damn.

Who wants to pass a federal anti-gay family amendment - sounds pretty anti-gay to me.

at the center of our galaxy. The only reason I know his name is that I live in the county next to his. Hard to avoid that proximity thing, but since I'm not a voter here, he really doesn't impact me in a meaningful way. I've got more important things to deal with.
