A gay ex-repuke friend has an, um, interesting take on Schock

Oh Pulheez GURL (KamaAina), the official reason is never the reason why...history is filled with examples of elected officials fudging paperwork and not leaving office. Hell Murtha accepted a bribe from what he thought were OPEC members and still got to keep his seat. This is cuz she gay...plain and simple. And the only reason Shock falsified expense reports was to hide that fact that he was gay. The leadership merely took an opportunity to oust a gay member.

Me and my partner were just discussing if he was a top or bottom! LOL

We read about his redecorated office a few weeks ago and were like WTF a bit over the top!

At least he is gone no point in outing him, but if he broke the law while in office, prosecute him and send his ass to prison.

That Schrock was gay. I mean, an office decorated like that? Thom Filicia called and said that it was a bit over-the-top.

I'm not surprised in the least that party leaders would urge him to resign. If it was 'merely' corruption and fraud, they would have no problem...but...teh gay is a bridge too far for regressives.

but corruption this flamboyant isn't tolerated even by the GOP. Threatening to out him would be the best way to get him to resign. If he's not outed, he can go into rehab (the great Republican deodorant) and be back later.
