GOP Rep. Bob Allen Convicted and Resigns

Republican State Representative Bob Allen of Florida resigned last week in the wake of a conviction for solicitation. Seems the Honorable Representative was caught in a restroom offering to have sex with another man, and unfortunately for him it was an undercover officer. Once again the party of Character and Morals has been shown to be the party of hypocrisy and sleaze.

The growing number of busted GOP folks is starting to look like a pattern. If you are uncomfortable with your sexuality, or ashamed of being homosexual, you become a Republican and try to pass as straight. More importantly, if you are closeted enough, you become an elected official who persecutes openly gay people. Now I am not a doctor, but that’s a pathology in my book.

And by the way, if you are in the GOP and somehow can bring yourself to be openly gay, join the Log Cabin Republicans. There you can pretend that your party gives a damn about your rights and you can continue to give money to the folks who actively work to deny those rights. Now that’s really a pathology!
