Conservative Hypocrites

First Mark Foley and now Ted Haggard...the anti-gay evangelist and head of the National Association of Evangelicals, has been exposed as a hypocrite. A gay male "escort" has accused Haggard of buying drugs (meth) and having sex with him over several years. At first I was skeptical of the accusation, but now Haggard admits to buying the meth (onece, but didn't use it!) and getting a massage... yeah right.

The worse part is that Haggard is another leading opponent of "gay marriage", and has been pushing the anti-gay marriage amendment in Colorado along with groups like Foucs on the Family. Haggard also met and talked frequently with George Bush.

What is it with these conservative religious fanatics, are they all closeted homosexuals? Are all anti-gay homophobic Republicans repressed homos? (Maybe Freud was right about those repressed homosexual feelings guys..)

And speaking of conservative hypocrites, Sen. John McCain is now appearing in ads for the anti-gay proposition in Arizona, which is losing according to some polls. McCain used to criticize the religious right and opposed amending the U.S. Constitution, but now that he is running for president in 2008, he is kissing up to the religious bigots. So much for the great hope of gay Republicans, and the illusion that John McCain is a "moderate."
