1. Raw Story's got it too...
"California's gay Rep. Dreier likely to fill DeLay spot..."

No story yet, just that headline.

6. Wow... does Hastert know this? The freepers will kill themselves!
Edited on Wed Sep-28-05 11:56 AM by Oreo
The latest target of a Capitol Hill outing campaign — designed to expose closeted homosexual Republicans who oppose civil rights for gay people — is San Gabriel Valley Congressman David Dreier.

The powerful 12-term congressman — chairman of the House Rules Committee, chairman of the California Republican House delegation, co-chairman of Californians for Bush, chairman of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s transition team — is in the cross hairs of Mike Rogers and his Blogactive.com Web site, whose outing campaign has already forced one GOP congressman out of politics. Representative Ed Schrock, a reactionary from Virginia, ended his re-election campaign last month after Rogers put on his Web site an audiotape of Schrock trolling for tricks on a gay chat line.

18. Hollywood HOMO and Kinda Cute!!!!!!!! what else do you need
to know about a closeted, self-hating California Homo living with his top congressional male aide who is (was?) making $157,000 per year of our tax payer money, more than most top congressional aides? Even Monika did not make that much for blow jobs! Will this guy get a big raise for sucking off the REPUBLICAN MAJORITY LEADER OF CONGRESS?

The hypocracy of the right wing Repug is so galling and this is soooooooooo sweet!

5. at this point, he's better than DeLay
DeLay stole my vote when he carved up Austin for political gain. At this point, anyone replacing that asshole is good enough for me.

10. Rawstory already had a story on him
Raw Story — which is edited out of Cambridge, Massachusetts, by 23-year-old John Byrne, who is also gay — last week published an interview with Dreier’s Democratic opponent in 1998 and 2000, Dr. Janice Nelson, who said she was aware during her 2000 campaign that Dreier was living with his chief of staff, Brad Smith. “Brad was like an invisible presence,” she said. “They really have the routine down slick.”

14. I think it is a DeLay move. Dreier might be just a front man ...
... like Hastert. I would feel better if Blunt had been chosen.
