A Gay Mafia in the Republican Party?
(by James Buchanan, from The Truth Seeker, November 4, 2005)
Opposition to Gay marriage is one of the biggest reasons many people still support the Republicans. The idea of Gay marriage is a monstrous moral abomination and the Democrats outraged ordinary Americans pushing that piece of insanity. The Gay marriage issue is a highly charged emotional issue, and just the sort of thing that Republicans look for, which can keep them in power. Meanwhile other issues like reverse discrimination, the illegal war in Iraq and an eight trillion dollar federal debt get pushed to page two.

Over the last ten years, an increasing number of Gays have turned up at high levels in the Republican Party. There is an organization called the “Log Cabin Republicans” which is openly Gay. Bob Dole angered mainstream conservatives when he accepted a donation from them in the ‘96 presidential election. Michael Huffington, a Republican candidate for Senator in California in the ’90s was exposed as being Gay only after he lost the election. Congressman David Dreyer was outed by fellow homosexuals during his last election, which he nearly lost due to his soft stance on illegal immigration. Are these Gay Republicans who’ve been outed a sign of a much larger problem?

One article reports George Bush’s closest advisor, Karl Rove, has been seen frequenting a Gay bar in Washington DC. Another article reports “The Gay Republican Mafia is evidently in control of the Party, even as they spin hard to avoid the obvious questions. How did so many closeted ‘conservative’ gay men wind up in the upper echelons of the GOP? Should the GOP be called the Gay Old Party now? With gay RNC chairman Ken Mehlman and the latest outing of fake reporter Jeff Gannon, a GOPUSA/ Talon News shill, the issue of Karl Rove has come out as well, so to speak.”

A New York Daily News article reports on how a man linked to Gay prostitution was used by Republicans as a phony reporter to ask questions at Bush press conferences: “A conservative ringer who was given a press pass to the White House and lobbed softball questions at President Bush quit yesterday after left-leaning Internet bloggers discovered possible ties to gay prostitution. ‘The voice goes silent,’ Jeff Gannon wrote on his Web site. ‘In consideration of the welfare of me and my family, I have decided to return to private life.’ Gannon began covering the White House two years ago for an obscure Republican Web site (Talon-News.com)...Gannon was also given a classified CIA memo that named agent Valerie Plame, leading to his grilling by the grand jury investigating her outing.”
