This guy is another prime example of what happens when a political party attempts to "brand" itself as the "we hate gay people party".
People who are gay yet religious fundamentalists who cannot reconcile the two start to loath who they are instead of embracing who they are and becoming sane functioning adults.
To prove to themselves and others that they are not gay they join organizations that prohibit and/or hate gays. Even worse to prove to the others in these organizations that they must not be gay they take particularly belligerent public stances against homosexuality... but in the end Mother Nature wins out and they can no longer deny who they are.
Now to state the obvious:
This is another self loathing republican off on a foreign homosexual sex tour before returning home to a life of hypocrisy and screwing up our country.
If the republicans could just stick to screwing each other this country would be a whole lot better off.
Holy cow! You are in the running for the lamest troll this year. (and we have some of the lamest, dumb-ass trolls on this site the RNC can spew out).
Watch out elephantboy, this guy is gunning for your crown.

He deals with his depression of not being president of the United States by hopping on a plane with a bag full of Viagra and buggering little boys in foreign sex resorts catering to rich foreigners before returning to Florida to spew more hate and filth over the landscape.
All in a day's work for the Rusbo.
If we could only find a way to make her the chief executive of al qaeda, terrorism would be finished as a force in the world for 100 years.
Which was "Bwah ha ha ha ha cough hack... bwaaahh ha ha ha ha... "
Do these clowns really think they will make any gains in political power by, as my friends in North Carolina would say, showing their asses?
At least before the republicans disintegrated into a party of strictly right wing lunatics they were somewhat successful at hiding who they truly were to the public at large by using code words for their nuttier ideas, but no more.
Let the crazy pour forth and (most) people will react with horror or laughter.
There are real and growing reasons to be furious with Palin and the rest of the "get elected at any cost to the country" republicans.
She is a total incompetent, ignorant lunatic. And she and a lot of repuglicans want her to be president of the United States!
What would that mean to the United States... Total disaster, distractionary wars, a full blown great depression to dwarf the first one, civil war, theocracy instead of democracy ala the taliban.. ?
God Damn her and those freak'n republicans that don't give as shit about this country!
The least they could do is nominate candidates who have an IQ over 70 and know what the oath of office means.
Look no further.
Was that the remaining republicans are one weird, deranged freak show.
This is a bad thing and scares the crapola out of about 70% of Americans,
This is good thing and makes about 20% of Americans feel that someone understands them.
10% think that things are really being run by extraterrestrial brain slugs that want to eat our memories, so who cares.
And that is the fact that:
A.) The police feel they have the right to arrest a citizen (of any color) in THEIR OWN HOME, when it is clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that no crime has been committed, simply because that citizen angrily demanded that the police leave their private property.
B.) When police improperly or falsely arrest someone they always and brazenly falsify the police report (a recent example caught on tape is the "police officer" who tackled a bicyclist because he, the officer, was pissed off at bicyclists. The police falsified the police report and accused the bicyclist of assault.
C.) Other police officers are expected to lie to protect their own, no matter what the issue. They lied in this crawley case, they lied in case the case above and in all the millions of cases where a hidden camera does not catch them in the bold face lies. IF an officer were to stand up and tell the truth they would run out of town on a rail... or worse.
This is not a problem a few bad cops, or even millions of bad cops. It’s a societal problem where contempt for the law and blind support the authority rule in film, TV shows and political discourse.
How many times have we seen on television shows the good looking female cop, and her handsome tough guy partner basically threaten a suspect, beat a suspect, violate a suspect's constitutional rites to "get the bad guy". Well guess what, life's not that simple, sometimes the "bad guys" are innocent and often those in positions of power and authority are dead wrong.
Right wing politicians make this worse by making political hay every time a cop does something wrong, they exploit the situation to make it look like police, who have all the power in all these encounters, are the victims.
It stinks, and its going to get worse before it gets better.
No, in my opinion this is the same old republican methods and tactics. But now people are starting to push back on their BS and they are just loosing it.
Pass the popcorn.
I see through your scam. You really are from Kenya! How better to hide that fact than to hide in plain sight!
You are a crafty Kenyan, just like your half brother Obama... if that is his real name.
Gotta go make sure nobody gets a chance to discuss healthcare now by screaming at the Democrats at the town hall.
