To: r.edwards who wrote (21367 ) 2/18/2012 10:13:03 PM From: 2MAR$ Respond to of 69300 This gay (now we know ) Arizona Sherrif Babeu was really an up & coming Republican wonderkind , running for for the House of Representatives & Mitt Romney's co-chair campaign chief , so no small deal. But we can all forgive his recently revealed homosexuality because were all so understanding a sudden now , aren't we ?? <bg The real damage control he's got on his hands now is the accusation he threatened to have his young Mexican lover & brother deported if he spoke up . This subject is real touchy with the hispanics everywhere even though we can all forgive his sexual orientation no thanks to any republican efforts obviously , the other thing gets pretty hypocritical fast and real blatant abuse of power. Hispanic populations have exploded out in the West/Southwest , huge dominating force now ...wonder how this goes over now . And here he is giving his press conference , handsome , fit , sincere war veteran trotting out what looks like 1/2 the Sherrif's dept plus a few state legislators , mayors & National Guard Commander buddy he served with . He's definitely an All American hero type, very photogenic and that perfect background any Republican would drool over : vimeo.com The beauty of this incident is that he is a picture perfect poster boy for why sexual orientation & homosexuality is such an impotent issue and here he's the co chair of the Romney Arizona Campaign down there , Sherriff & running for US Congress . (But be a little more difficcult for him now to condemn gay mariage & imigration i would think ) And just when the Gay Marriage issue is being wheeled out DOA once again , only a matter of time before the entire US accepts this , though its still a vote getter . Welcome to America <g
