I think there comes a time when a man has to choose. Is it politics, or is it about another slam against gay people? Bee’s actions have been all about politics. As werdna says, he’s been trying to thread the needle and play it both ways. So is Kolbe. And frankly, I’m tired of coddling politicians who do that, whether they are gay or straight.

I’m calling on Kolbe to decide whether he’s a man or a politician. We already know what Bee has decided. If Bee cannot stand up to CAP, what makes us think he can stand up to anyone in Washington?

Bee seems to have been trying to get away with a very strange balancing act. He sponsored the resolution but also tried to keep it from coming up for a vote. That way he could claim to have sponsored something that would please the bigots but wouldn’t have to deal with having allowed a stupid and divisive measure onto the ballot. The bigots didn’t seem to be satisfied with his attempt to finesse the issue. Bummer for him and a bummer for the state of Arizona.

Kolbe could easily retract his support for Bee now but do you think he will? Remember Kolbe voted for DOMA when he was in Congress and even after coming out he’s never been a big advocate of same-sex marriage.

But if this quote is old then this is nothing but a slur, and a cheap one at that, by the Tuscon Observer.

Pulling a quote out of context of dragging a statement of support from the past and pretending it relates to a current situation is something that should be below the Observer’s dignity.

He doesn’t have a chance in hell in getting Giffords seat.
