The left just might succeed in getting the Federal Marriage Amendment passed. The American Thinker cited Lawrence O’Donnell hinting in the Huffington Post that Hastert and his chief of staff, Palmer, may be more than housemates.
There are plenty of odd couple Congressmen who have roomed together on Capitol Hill, but I have never heard of a chief of staff who rooms with his boss. It is beyond unusual. But it must have its advantages. Anything they forget to tell each other at the office, they have until bedtime to catch up on. And then there’s breakfast for anything they forgot to tell each other before falling asleep. And then there’s all day at the office. Hastert and Palmer are together more than any other co-workers in the Congress.
It is apparent that the left is determined to try and remove the votes of the Christian Coalition from the election. They know they won’t receive the vote, so the next best thing to do is try to get them to stay home…Well, that isn’t going to happen and this will make the supporters of the FMA even determined to pass this legislation than at any time prior. The author paints a very good picture of what the left has done to themselves:
I do not think that the feminist organizations have ever recovered from their betrayal of all their principles in their defense of Bill Clinton’s behavior with Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones, and Kathleen Willey (among others). They lost legitimacy in the eyes of too many in the public, and even in the press. Flamboyantly-betrayed principles do not ever again function as an effective political weapon.
Mainstream members of the homosexual community have a lot on the line with the Foley case. A new rule book is being written for behavior expected of homosexuals with consenting adult young males. It appears at this moment that Foley has not either touched or solicited anyone under 18.
Our society as a whole, and specifically our federal government, has already decided that it is perfectly legitimate to be a homosexual and function as a valued member of Congress or federal employee. But now, homosexuality is being treated as a matter of shame, and Republicans are being castigated as insufficiently suspicious of a gay male. Homosexuality is being taken as a danger sign, requiring extra care.
They can’t have it both ways, and they won’t!
