Is there a don't ask don't tell policy for Republican politicians?

Apparently. He probably ran his campaign on moral/family values. I heard he is/was anti-gay. He would have been much happier if he had just come out of the closet. Sexual orientation is a non-issue to me.

Apparently there is but it is obviously not working out well for Republicans. Their blatant hypocrisy in this area makes them look like lying, sleazy, despicable human beings.

It seems to me that the more anti-gay a Republican politician is the more likely he has some debased homo skeletons in his closet

Yes, most republican males are closeted homosexual cowards, they aren't supposed to let anyone else know (i.e. larry craig, mark foley, etc)

He represents what his constituents want. I really dont care if he is gay

i am a registered democrat but i would think its working out good for the republicans

Do you mean to hide the fact that they are homosexual? Or neo-conservatives? I know which one I'd rather keep secret.

Not an official policy. They just keep it to themselves. Why is that a bad thing?

There's no need, as there are no gay Republicans.

you have to be kidding...a california politician surprises you.hey..he is in fruits and nuts land !dude,this crap is so old it is pathetic.
