What I find repulsive about this article is NOT that she is demanding that elected officials be held accountable for their character. I don’t see this issue that much different than the adultery issue. Conservatives generally will not support a candidate who claims to support family values while having a mistress on the side – or a candidate who is against drugs but uses, writes tough domestic abuse laws while beating their wife and children, etc., etc.
No, what I find repulsive is the implication that they should be outed if they don’t tow the “gay” agenda. To put it in terms even she can probably understand: As long as Newt or Herman supports family values in their voting record, then it is okay to help them remain “discreet”.
There is a word for people who are willing to look the other way for John Edwards but then eagerly dig the dirt on Newt. It is hypocrite.
