2. I wonder how many gay teen suicides resulted from policies Mehlman crafted

I wonder if he ever thinks about what he's done

5. Someone really needs to ask him that.

Mehlman is the Roy Cohn of the 21st century. There's no way he can make up for the pain and suffering he's caused.

4. great words by Mike Rogers! Mehlman, the mgr of the 04 "victory", is Gay & he has no regrets?

That was such a divisive bullshit anti-gay election season, and that self-hating homosexual (he doesn't get to be called Gay until he does those things Mike said in the video) helped make the lives of every GLBT person in this country harder, and more frustrating, while he himself was looking at men!!!!

DAMNED BASTARDS... think of how many THOUSANDS of Gay people killed themselves since '04!? How many Gay teens suffered misery at schools, or worse, did themselves in? Or the people who were killed for being GLBT?

Mehlman is a hypocritical bastard. He is a shameful person who I would have a hard time not spitting upon if I saw him. This is a HUGE political figure folks - a HUGE figure, he may not have been visible but he crafted a strategy in getting B*SH back into the White House, and part of that mix was getting anti-Gay ballot initiatives in various states, and the GOP continuing mantra that Gay is bad.



For all of us who have been hurt by your actions, Ken, F*CK YOU DIRTBAG!!! :mad:

6. I agree. The idea of "taking responsibility" has been warped.

You have to put your money where your mouth is. SHOW that you're actually sorry. Just saying it doesn't count for anything.

7. I said it before, I know...

At least now we know who Jeff Gannon was fucking to get such great access to the White House.

I wonder who had to settle for Ken's 'sloppy seconds?'

[lumpy]

8. And Dubya knew all about it....

9. When will the Republicans realize

yeah, family values, fiscal conservative, stop pork, stop government spending... when are the Republican voters going to realize they're being lied to? They're being played for fools! And these people have no shame. Here's your proof right here.

Of course, we Dems probably need to realize a thing or two about our own leaders as well...
