I can see how this gaffe will continue to haunt him all the way through the primaries.
He wishes.

Particularly if how good things are actually going in Iraq starts to leak out.
Talk about wasted.
Can only wonder if you'll extend the same courtesy to Rudy when/if he makes his first "slip of the tongue." I'm guessin you'll use it to make him look like the anti-Christ.
It won't dog him as much as Hillary's vote on the war will dog her.
Lincoln was gay though -- it all evens out.
So, you equate sexuality with illegal drug use?
Inasmuch as each matters to me (we're talking distant past drug use) in a presidential election, yes.
So, you're saying sexuality is a vice equivalent to past drug use when viewed in the context of a presidential election?
I'm sorry, I'm not following you. I'm trying to understand where sexuality comes into the equation at all.
Exactly.I'm sorry, I'm not following you.
Seriously, what does the allegation of Lincoln's sexuality (and, I'm not even sure if these allegations were made while he was alive) have to do with Obama's self-confessed history of drug use?
Do explain.
Neither matters to me, that's what.
Okay, but why bring up an unsubstantiated claim of Lincoln's sexuality and equate it with Obama's self-confessed past drug use as things about which you don't care in an election?
Raising the sexuality allegation over all the other alleged illegal acts of all subsequent presidential candidates -- including past use of illegal drugs, since the assassination of Lincoln, as being the appropriate comparison against which to place Obama's drug use, strikes me as an indication of how you view sexuality.
Got something against sexuality, Chumpy?
Buck Rogers simply stated that Lincoln didn't do what Obama has confessed as a way to contrast the two. What does Honest Abe's sexual orientation got to do with it?
Buck brought up Lincoln. It was a joke.Okay, but why bring up an unsubstantiated claim of Lincoln's sexuality and equate it with Obama's self-confessed past drug use as things about which you don't care in an election?Yeah, you really got me there.Got something against sexuality, Chumpy?![]()
Oh. Ha ha.
Hey, you're the one that used in a context that suggested it was somehow wrong.
Hey, you're the one who somehow took it seriously.
And Bush didn't confess doing what Obama did but he didn't deny that he did do it. It's a non-issue.
Exactly.
...but it can be lethal to aspiring black politicians when mixed with hot white babes. It's all in the context.
Hey, Lincoln's sexual orientation would have never even occurred to me in this context...seriously or humorously.
Especially if your name is Harold Ford, Jr. (except the drugs part)
I agree, it's a non-issue.
Ford will be back. Dean won't be in the DNC chair forever.
I agree. He's just getting started.
ChumpDumper playing to the gay bashers and now you're playing to the racists?
Ever notice it is those who claim to be color blind and gay supporters who first introduce these aspects into a debate over topics that, to that point, had nothing to do with either?
