    I wonder what the tea party would do if Ted Cruz came out as gay

    In politics everything about a person has some significance

    Well as of right now he is married with children, but if he came out as gay, wouldn't give a hoot. He's the most conservative person in congress right now. Just as I don't care that Dr. Ben Carson is black.

    Wrong? Well, let's see, you're white, not young and use the terms you do you describe people who are homosexual.

    So It'd seem I've hit the nail on the head.

    A lot of people would say
    That's a fact that you mention Dr. Ben Carson is black
    Shows it does have some significance to you

    Especially since this thread is about A gay politician
    Not a black politician

    He got out in front of this before one of the other candidates used it against him.

    Good for him.

    For all those saying his sexual orientation doesn't make a difference? Then why are you worried about him saying it?

    Who is surprised that a progressive leftist turns out to be a degenerate? Not me. Just another loser in a sea of losers.

    Just stated for truth. Carson has already been called out by the left as an Uncle Tom. Care to address that?

    Or, a winner in a sea of winners who used their DEMOCRATIC right in '12 to approve marriage equality.

    Ah, isn't that sweet? Single issue incompetence to promote perversity.

    OK..go hide. You are the one who wanted to talk about Cruz being gay and now you don't want to discuss something other than the OP.
    FYI: this was not about Cruz being gay.

    It's sweet that people didn't vote to deny their gay brothers and sisters equality in their love before the law. And it marked a momentous turning point in humanity's common sense - that they've finally come to realize that gays getting married has no affect on anyone but gays.

    It is social dengeneracy. It will be plain to all one day. Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia most clearly demonstarte that. They used homosexuals to destroy current society, and whn that was done, they were sent to concentration camps and Gulags or outright killed. Historical syuff to think about.

    The gays are secretly plotting a world takeover with help from the Russians. First comes marriage then WORLD DOMINATION! Just look what happened to Canada!

    It will be plain to all one day :roflol:

    You seem to have degenerated yourself - into a state of absolute drivel and craziness.

    That is historical stuff to think about, but it doesn't make me want to appease the views of Hilter or Stalin lest another one come along... Quite the opposite. When the mistakes of history are learned freedom flourishes. Homophobic attitudes are what we need to be wary of.

    ......

    Beautiful! Our proud Democracy with all its re-written history has finally had to make a revolution to have their sexual preferences be declared legal. Heterosexuals never had to do the same...and they have expressed their 'sexual preferences' with everything that moved without any problems with society beating them, killing them, psychologically castrating them, and forming an opinion of deviance that never was there, but wholly contrived by the hetero community.

    Sexual preference is a person's preferring one sex over another as being better, more likable, and more comfortable. Heteros should be able to deal with that in an adult manner.

    Agent_286, I usually cringe when people use "preference" instead of "orientation" because it leads to an argument about choosing to be gay. But it is a preference. Just as non-gays pick and choose their partners so do gays. That does not mean that gays choose to be gay. They chose their partners. That is all.

    I wonder why he has never come out before when the gay community could of used a big name like him in the SSM wars here in Maine, He was being upstaged by The othe Two candidates and needed exposure , he got it!

    Every human being is not special - but if this guy wants to be upfront and honest from the start about his sexual orientation, well, good for him...... that should put the subject to rest.......

    Hi bomac: To me it is exactly opposite. Sexual preference is already ingrained in the person at birth due to the gene structure. Some realize it at age 5...others do not realize it until they are late in life, some reject it thru fear of pronounced societal mores.

    Sexual orientation on the other hand is progressing to the point of reference to familiarize (orient) oneself toward another alternative for sexual gratification.

    It is purely societal rigidity proclaiming that heterosexuality is the only way to go...all others are taboo. As we evolve we may see possibly more than two sexes, as we are now seeing evidence of this phenomenon in the various strengths and scope of sexual stages...uber sexual, tomboy,
    women on front lines in war, etc.

    ......

    With due respect..what business is it of yours when Michaud decided to 'come out'? He isn't wondering why you chose to have any particular sexual preference in your life.

    Just as any politician is wise to check out his own personal resume'before entering politics, I think Michaud decided to forego any republican slander and innuendo and break the news early. It is like taking all the bullets away before the opening salvo.......:smile:

    He has been in the political world for years , I am from here , if there wAS going to be slander it would of happened already, His business is my business because he may be running my State and I deserve to know why he did not help the SSM debate ? Which I supported by the way. I think he used his gayness to get exposure plain and simple . I see him on the news every night now . it worked !

    1) Not necessarily, in the Virginia election Cuccinelli loaded some last minute robo calls on the elctorate in an effort to win the election, it failed! The republicans are known for their love of the before election day bombing of the opposition when there is no time left for rebuttal!

    2) Wrong again: Michaud is a Democrat, and you're not! You aren't going to vote for him anyway, so what is your insistence to know his business?

    3) And I think you are being over-emotional, over-inquisitive, and over-whelmed concerning a person you are not going to vote for anyway...plain and simple.

    He still represents me no matter what, or is here going to be like Obama and represent only the ones he likes? I am unenrolled here so I could vote for him but I think he is sleazy using his gayness for profit .
