Not at all, just pointing out that pointing fingers is silly, when this kind of hypocrisy goes on everywhere in politics. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 5] Author : gabosaurus Date : 02-18-2012 06:13 PM I am not pointing fingers at anyone. Just found the whole episode a bit amusing. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 6] Author : gabosaurus Date : 02-18-2012 06:39 PM You knew this was coming... Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu on Saturday denied allegations that he and his attorney threatened to deport a Mexican former boyfriend of Babeu's unless the man agreed not to disclose the relationship. Babeu said the allegations are "completely false" and that the only information mentioned in a Phoenix New Times article that's true is "I'm gay." "This was the way, the hook of how this could be brought out (his sexuality) and to malign and attack a sheriff who does stand for conservative principles," said Babeu at a press conference outside his department's headquarters in Florence. The sheriff acknowledged he had a relationship with "Jose," the man who made the allegations to the New Times. The alternative weekly's online story was accompanied by photos of Babeu with a man it identified as "Jose.". http://www.azcentral.com/news/politics/articles/2012/02/18/20120218babeu-speak-about-boyfriend-allegations.html#ixzz1mmOP8kpz The moral of the story is: If you are an ultra conservative hawkish type, it is OK to be gay. :cheers2: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Downloaded from Debate Policy - Political Message Board (http://www.debatepolicy.com) at 03-29-2024 12:39 AM.
