Is the United States Ruled by a Cabal of Gay Republicans?

Sure, it is a far fetched idea, or is it? The level of hypocrisy and cyncism among the Republicans (and the news media) for it to be true would be staggering. But then again this is the "pro-life" party that is responsible for the deaths of 665,000 people in Iraq and favors state sanctioned murder of teenagers and the mentally handicapped. So what's a few depraved acts of sodomy among friends?

As far as hypocrisy among the news media it hardly seems worthy of discussion. They have shown repeatedly that no amount of hypocrisy is beyond them.

So what brings the question to mind. Of course it is related to the Foley thing but there is more to it. The whole Hastert story doesn't fit. Not just the fact that he covered up but why would he. You could argue that. It is too embarrassing and they were too arrogant to realize that it would eventually come out. But these guys are very savvy politicians. Could they have been unaware of the old saw, "it's never the act but the coverup"? I'm skeptical that they were unaware.

The other reason then is that they were either covering for Foley because he was one of them or because they were afraid Foley's exposure would be a tipping point and unravel their whole network.

There is a lot of interesting stuff coming out on the net about this. Time will tell if it will play out. The idea of a "List" of gay Republicans is fascinating. I'll post more on this as I'm able, inclusing links. One thing to look for as this develops is whether someone in the mainstream media goes with part of this, reluctantly, but out of fear that what may be the biggest political story of the last 25 years happens totally without the participation of the legacy media.
