I once worked as an intern in David Dreier's district office when I attended USC. He is the most shallow, narcissistic, self-centered man you'll ever want to meet. The first thing he said to me after meeting him was, "Why do you want to work for me? I guess it's because you've seen me on TV, huh?" What a jerk. I once asked him where he was on 9/11, and he responded in a smug manner by saying "Uh, did you watch CNN?" No jerk, I was at school. Being gay would be an improvement for this creep.
I hate these 500 letter boxes - but not having an E-Mail or Youtube address I didn't have any other way. Of course they will be out of order so I hope you can make some sense of them; like I said: was thinking of you & your reply to my Dreir post & after seeing him next to Maxine/lol and wanted to say hello & some of the thoughts I failed to communicate last time. Hope you're well & happy & reconsidering some opinions - Peace Gary

You guys are such jerks for making this video. Who cares about his personal life? There are "gay" people who are traditional, and know that their lifestyle choice is wrong and they struggle with it. It is not your job to go around asking people questions about their sex lives. On top of that, just because a man is single, why does he have to be gay?
@MrGBOOK I know that many people struggle to find who they are and struggle to find acceptance. If he is gay he doesn't have to make that known to the world or be open and aggressive like so many in the gay community are. He has the right to have traditional values as well. He doesn't vote against gay interests, who are you to say what is in the best interests of the gay community? Conservatives are not all "gay haters." BTW, the Atlanta pastor is a strong Democrat in a heavily Democratic area.
@JohnRhysMusician I still find it amazing that a bright/worldly person - as you, can believe "gay" a choice. If you are str8 - was it your choice? Could you change & become gay? True gay's can no more change than a str8 (Unless one is truly Bi; lucky me, huh=lol) . Of course all consv. arn't "haters" - (see LogCabins) but it is very important for (especially) prominent gays to be open & out; not just for public opinion but with all the bully & suicides (esp.among teens!)
@JohnRhysMusician Finally - there seems to be hope for you - but you confuse me. You talk of the "struggle" to find ones self & acceptance. But else where you say (If you've found yourself to be gay) you've made the "wrong choice". Like the search was for choice rather than your true self... I think you're to smart not to know better. Homo is just as valid as Hetro or Bi! And the fight for equality is real - is crucial, can literally mean life or death...and life is better! Gary
@MrGBOOK I've spent a great deal of time working with Congressman Dreier. I used to live in his district and I've always been a fan. I would describe myself as a pragmatic social and fiscal conservative with similar views on most issues to Congressman Dreier. I hate that he is portrayed as a closeted anti-gay man with little evidence to support these claims, other than that he is single and he is a Republican. Congressman Dreier has voted to repeal DADT and voted against the FMA.
@MrGBOOK I do believe sexuality is more than we as humans can comprehend, but that ultimately it comes down to personal choice and I do believe that a heterosexual relationship is the most optimal and durable relationship choice you can make in life. I've come to this conclusion through informed medical and scientific research. Unfortunately the discussion features far too much on religion and immature personal feelings.
@MrGBOOK Traditional values meaning preserving the status quo on social issues. Preserving the definition of marriage, protecting states rights on abortion, protecting religious liberty and expression, etc.
I still am not sure what indicates Congressman Dreier is homosexual or what he voted on that was anti-gay. Too often those who are social conservatives are deemed anti-gay, but I don't think you could even describe Dreier as a social conservative.
@JohnRhysMusician And surely "preserving the status quo" dosn't mean stopping progress or we's still have only white males voting, segrega- tion & more sins of the past! I'm the last person to question Dreier (or anyones) personal life - as long as no one is hurt... but personally living as one wants but voting against those rights for others is the hipocracy many of us question! "Definitions" are largely religion's doing - states are responsible for liberty/equality/freedom!
Drier is the ultimate hypocrite. If he is unrepentant about male/male penetrative sex acts and simultaneously votes against glbt equal rights, then shouldn't the voter be allowed to weigh the logic of that?
We really miss David All his speeches about how importing cheap foreign labor and exporting middle class jobs would be good for the world, IT WILL BE GREAT FOR AMERICA Well here we are No manufacture or industrial base anymore and kids thrown into sweat shops making 25 cents an hour. Products that are junk and break right out of the boxes And the worst part if you listen to him in this video. he's still doing it Pretty sad he can't even take care of the people that voted him into office.OK Davie
This gay man is elected as a Republican and always votes Republican, but with some exceptions.

@JohnRhysMusician It certainly is our business
when he votes against our interests - the ultimate
hypocrisy! As for his supposed "struggle" - that's
b.s. and you know it! He just dosn't want his
rightwing (gay hater) backers to know - so he
hides the truth...Like so many others; preachers
& politicians who - one after another (Now the
big shot in Atlanta!) lecture with a "forked
tongue" and personally do just the opposite!
And people like you fall for it - a real shame!

@JohnRhysMusician Thisis not a Political issue, Re-
publicans vs Democrata (Though you're right about
the pastor, its usually the GOP "haters" who are ex-
posed as closeted...) its about hypocrits! And yes
David is one - as he has a 100% anti gay voting
record' against everything that would help the
LGBT community... This is not my opinion - it
is HRC and every group that monitors! This has
nothing to do with his "struggle"; only making his
voting record more sinister!

@MrGBOOK He voted no on the Constitutional Amendment to Preserve Marriage, that is not an anti-gay vote.
JohnRhysMusician 1 year ago
@JohnRhysMusician I really was not aware of his
voting NO on that important matter and I take your
word on same...it would have been quite brave -
at the time (Contrary to the way most of his right
wing colleagues voted!) and alone should have
altered the 100% "anti" claim. Thanks for the
info & respect & I (& MY colleagues) will look
deeper into the "situation..."

@JohnRhysMusician Thought about you when I heard where Dreier was sitting for the
:State of the Union". Seems like he's trying to show a softer face (Between Waters & Harmon!)'
Couldn't find a Youtube page for you so this was the only way I knew to respond. When I looked
up your original "Reply" I was reminded you used an elephant logo. I remain very suprised you
are Republican. I was a VERY active Republican in another life (Pre the Born Agains & crazies
taking over the party...)
MrGBOOK 1 year ago
@JohnRhysMusician I ran several campaigns & loved
many GOP figures; Scranton, Rocky, et al. Personally
I vared a great deal for Goldwater; he was very pro
Human Rights and such issues. Unfortunately his
movement & the whole party, after that, became co-
opted by the "NUTS". And I've been a (Pat & Gerry)
Brown & Clinton Democrat since!
You made a terrible comment about people's "life
style choices" being "wrong". Surely as bright &
talented as you are you know its NO choice!

@JohnRhysMusician Nice to hear from you - though I
see you don't sleep either... I wont resort to repeating
gossip about Dreir & accept that you know & respect
him! I too used to live in OC & worked with & for my
(R)rep (James Utt) who was very conservative - yet
as he (& I as YR pres) took any stand or candidate
that the crazzies didn't approve (in our day) we were
called "liberal' even "commies" or worse! So I know
the drill & am pleased by some of Dreier's recent
votes...

@JohnRhysMusician The religious right's control
over much of the GOP has only grown worse and
is responsible for much you appear to deplore!
"Optimal/durable" yes - but irrelevant in personal
matters (Decided by the heart - not choice). Tell
a str8 male you must marry this lady - because
its more optimal & will be more durable. You'd
say "you're nuts...I'm marrying for love - period".
Surely your "traditional" values don't extend to
"arranged" marriages, etc. over love?
MrGBOOK 1 year ago
@JohnRhysMusician Anyway, many Democrats (Gay or
otherwise) are Conservative about many issues and how
do you co-opt "traditional values" I.e. yours are better than
mine or ours? This is the nonsense being spewed by
many of these so-called "family value" hypocrits - ultimately
found to be phony as hell!
No one attacked Dreir for being "single", that absurd. His
situation is common - personal actions indicating he's
gay or bi & then voting anti-gay (Except the Marriage bill)
