Cliff Kincaid has a piece up on Fordham and other so-called GOP gays, that exposes them from being really what they are:
“At this point in the scandal, the issue is not whether there was such a network, but how big it is. CBS Evening News correspondent Gloria Borger reported the emerging belief that “a group of high-level gay Republican staffers were protecting” Foley. A New York Times story by Mark Leibovich confirmed that gay Republicans have occupied “crucial staff positions” in Congress and “have played decisive roles in passing legislation, running campaigns and advancing careers.”
The mystery man at the center of the scandal, Jeff Trandahl, is supposed to be a “lifelong Republican” who is gay. But Trandahl, who supervised the congressional page program as House clerk and knew about the controversial Foley emails many years ago, has a strange way of showing his Republicanism. A search of Federal Election Commission (FEC) records over the last six years shows no financial contributions to the Republican Party or Republican candidates. Instead, Trandahl in 2000 gave $1,200 to the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, which gives over 80 percent of its political campaign money to Democrats.
Trandahl is so much of a Republican that he joined the board of the Human Rights Campaign Fund, another gay political action committee that commits most of its funds to electing Democrats. Its latest list of “winning candidates” is all Democrats, except for Republican Senator Lincoln Chafee, who admits not voting for President Bush in 2004.
If you are getting the idea that gay Republicans may be closeted Democrats, then you are beginning to understand how the Mark Foley scandal could have been a Democratic Party dirty trick.”
The fact that within every political persuasion there are operatives of the opposition. The Democratic Party, specifically those who are gay or simpathetic to the gay adenda have long been working for key Republican for years, working behind the scenes to advance their agenda. One such operative we know was John Aravosis. He along with gay thug Mike Rogers work like a sort of Gestapo threatening to “out” anyone who dares to challenge the “agenda party line”. Which is why they went after Foley and others simply because they wouldn’t “play the game”, and vote against so-called “anti-gay” legislation. The fact that this “scandal” is threatening to “blow the lid off” the network, has them all a little bugged, whic is a a point that Cliff makes:
“Some liberal and left-wing groups, in addition to the gay Republican organizations, seem fearful of what the investigation might uncover. But radical gay activists sympathetic to the Democratic Party’s pro-homosexual agenda are already naming the names of members of the secret network, reaching from Congress into the White House and the Republican National Committee. One such activist is Michael Rogers. Another is John Aravosis, who worked for Republican Senator Ted Stevens from 1989 to 1994.
What is going to happen from this point is that the entire secret underground network of gay operatives will be exposed along with the threats and the blackmail. People who have been using theats and intimidation to influence legislation will be “un-closeted” and exposed for who and what they are.
UPDATE: some are dismissing this story outright, and cite it an example of Republican bigotry, which is ridiculous. Those who work Washington know full well of what Kincaid is talking about, he’s not bringing up anything new. Are there gay republicans, yes, are there those who call themselves gay republicans but who in fact the opposite, absolutely, just as there are on the other side. So let’s not be deceived at what is really going on. Time will reveal it all.

1Like i’ve stated in some other posts somewhere in cyber world, after this investigation, the GOP will be accussed of “gay expulsion”
I think it’s a good thing to get rid of these agents of change and i’m sure they will find a big welcome mat at the Dim side of the room!

2I’m not sure how I want to think about this. I’m sufficiently libertarian on social policy not to want some sort of anti-homosexual witchhunt, but I am deeply disturbed by the whole push for the “gay agenda” to transform the bases of society with respect to marriage and the family, and deeply opposed to homosexual recruiting of adolescents.
On the other hand, this looks almost like some sort of “popish plot” (the supposed plot in England in the late 17th century to reinstate Roman Catholicism in a country by then thoroughly Protestant country which was being generally more tolerant of Catholics than theretofore) — activists for the gay agenda would do well to remember that the anti-Catholic sentiment generated by the “popish plot” did not abate for over 100 years (the Test Act wasn’t repealed until 1829).
There is no decent, simple solution.

3I just don’t see why this story is still in the headlines. As a citizen of this country I am so tried of being spoon feed the news. I feel like there is a concerted effort from the news media to avoid actually delivering anything of substance. Can we please focus on the matters at hand: North Korea, Nuclear War, Iran, Iraq, Terrorist, and the ever increasing threat that the world is about to implode?

4cato,
I’m a conservative christian ,a baptist, and it was the danbury baptists who did not want any state to have some official religion . ana baptists and others were persecuted by the catholic church too. i can assure you any christians who want a theocracy are on the kook fringe and would not have support from “mainstream” conservatives.
I just find it ironic that it is the dims who are exposing the homosexuals and of course if we find out they were dim. plants, main loyalty to child molesting homosexuals or put the homosexual agenda before the gop platform - they should go! then the gop will be excused of “gay witch” hunting.
I’m all for cleaning house but i’ll still vote gop (unless i’ve reason to be their perverts)

5annie - Of course I agree the scum should go.
By my reference to the “popish plot” I did not mean to imply it was conservative Christians who were trying roust the gays as a general matter; rather that the general revulsion across a broad spectrum of society at an apparent plot to push an unpopular agenda could result in the a backlash against the group being seen as pushing the agenda - in this case against gays if it is perceived widely that they are masquerading as Republicans to push the agenda.
I, too, am a Christian, but a less conservative one - an old-fashioned Congregationalist - and my ambivalence here is rooted in a healthy suspicion of both theocracy (we had it in Connecticut after all, which is why the Danbury Baptists were so concerned) and of the homosexual agenda. I am not so much worried about theocracy here as I am about a general climate of open and nasty hostility to homosexuals. I am very conservative on the matter in the sense I would prefer not to see any homosexuals in positions where they are working with adolescents, and I definitely oppose homosexual marriage, adoption, and such things (though I think they should be able to make arrangements such that they can inherit each others property and act as relatives in cases of illness, etc.- that’s simple decency) but I am against any sort of persecution. I would describe my view as tolerance, but not acceptance or endorsement.

6Cato,
