What is so scandalous about a 55-year-old white Republican seeking out very young Latino immigrants for penetrative gay sex?

A leader in governmental and political office must be just that- one who advocately leads, speaks for, and is the example to his people. Those of us who hold jobs in government must adhere to the stringest codes and laws in regard to our selective behaviour as we hold these positions. When we don’t , we are fired .

His scandalous sexual preference should not be the main issue here but his selective behaviour in choosing to saturate his body with alcohol at a bar, walking to his government issued vehicle and driving it at the law processing state capitol that mandated the cuts in our salaries that bleeds and deprives us of paying for our personal vehicles and mortgages. Government vehicles are paid with our tax dollars.

His caring soul has no respect for life, meaning other motorists and his own. The consequence of getting stopped by law enforcement saved lives that night.

Is he going to re-attempt to use his pushy political clout in , of all places, Sacramento to get his license back or get a provisional exception to what he has done?How would the motor vehicle agency at Sacramento headquarters handle this bleak situation? The same as the law indicates for the rest of us motorists.

Do they like it better on top or on the bottom? Have they ever committed adultery? Watched a porno film? Do they ever daydream of threesomes?

I totally agree. During the 50′s era of Jim Crow laws, there were plenty of Blacks who opposed mixing races in schools, marriages, or places of business in order to preserve this country’s foundational values. These Conservative African-Americans were patriots not hypocrites.

“Responsible journalists, he argued, do not print rumors”

Not exactly what Jenner said. He said “Even if it was (true that Ashburn is gay), we didn’t see the relevance. I didn’t believe it was news.” So he wouldn’t have printed the fact regardless. The same with President Bush or Obama. No one knows the gender of their sex partners much less their actual names because it is such a private and personal issue.

“A person’s sexual orientation — even a politician’s — is normally none of our dang business.”

Again, I have never known a politician to identify his opposite-sex spouse much less feature her on stage at a campaign rally or in a photograph on his website. That would be an unheard of invasion of privacy.

“He presented himself as both an advocate and a representative for traditional family values, all while living a radically different life.”

How so? Ashburn opposes allowing homosexuals in the military precisely because he knows first hand of the risk they might prey on young males (ie he found himself arrested with a young Latino immigrant). Ashburn also opposes gay marriage because he says the immorality of homosexuals will destroy the sanctity of marriage (again he bases this on his own divorce). Ashburn has been 100% consistent.

“By all accounts, Ashburn is a good and kind soul and all but the most jaded reporter would balk at causing him pain.”

No one would disagree that Ashburn is both a caring and sweet soul. When Proposition 8 forcibly divorced thousands of gay couples and tore apart their families, it was done in a loving manner. When Ashburn opposed legislation to prevent anti-gay bullying in schools, or prevent people from being fired for their sexual orientation, it was done out of caring for that person’s soul. “Love the sinner, hate the sin” may be hard for liberal homosexuals to understand, but Ashburn made every one of his votes because he wanted to do what was best for them.
