So what he's a republican as I know conservatives who are gay but don't like gay marriage. Get over it as the hipocrasy of the left makes me sick. And why did they impound the car? Yet the bigger point here is they impound cars from all kinds of people all the time and all for money as the state of California is full of democrats who spend all the people's money! Read the 4th amendment on safety check points, too. All our rights are being violated...
"Ashburn, a 55-year-old divorced father of four, claimed his 15-year crusade against proposed gay-rights laws in the California statehouse stemmed from his desire to vote the way his constituents wanted."
That would make him a hypocrite.
I know it's sensational, but since he was a crusader against gay rights, his being gay is relevant.
Since police are 90% conservative and homophobic, and make it policy to stake out gay bars for patrons leaving in their cars, they finally got one of their own. So I would say yes, it's absolutely sensational.
It is an issue if the dipstick is so messed up he is trying to pass legislation against himself. Just another republican who is so in love with power he would send gays to a concentration camp to show his patriotism, hoping no one finds out about him and locks him up as well. *shakes my head*
@NoDropLS-- When he has a record of opposing Gay rights, it damn well DOES matter that he left a Gay bar with a man in his car, driving drunk while he did it.
@NoDropLS -- What most Tea Party members/Cain/Bachman/Beck/Christians don't realized is that the GOP war/bank machine hijacked the movement. "Occupy Wall Street"people warned not to let their efforts get hijacked (like the GOP hijacked the Tea Party)
Yes typical republican telling others not to do what they themselves are doing....but it's incredibly worse since he was actually fighting against gay rights!!
it is always these hard nosed republicans with their high moral standings that end up getting busted for the very things they strongly oppose. Republicans need to get off their high horses and except that they are no better then the next guy. Even if he is gay! I am so tired of these hateful people. And usually backing their bigotry with the bible. Shame on them. I am sure Jesus is not proud of the republican party.
I love the fact that he was caught but I do feel sorry for his kids and wife. I'm surprised he hasn't used the Jesus card yet. Anyone person who is so opposed to an issue or idea is guilty of an internal conflict attached to the issue. Now we know that Ashburn is literally a cock sucker. He looks creepy.
Their religious beLIEfs allow them to act out on perverted impulses that they hide deep inside them.
It's like putting on a uniform. They become someone else, so they can do whatever they want; harass, accuse, arrest, molest, torture, kill with a clear conscience because they believe they are not themselves.
I had "good" bi sex with a staunch married "conservative" last week. After it was over he started talking about "Health Care" and how Pres. Obama was a socialist and communist. All I could think was "Hmm."
Damn right. Just look at Jamaica. Most homophobic place on Earth, yet all these Christian gay bashers often like a peice of rear end action after lights out. Or pussy on pussy action if they're female gay bashers.
Now with this high-profile coming out, when will (most) conservatives stop saying homosexuality is a choice? Damn, this guy obviously has struggled for so long with his gayness (it that a word?), so if it was a choice, he would have "renounced" his homosexuality a long time ago...nobody choses to be part of a minority that's discriminated against on a daily basis...and I'm straight by the way (wasn't a choice)

Homosexuality may not be a choice but it is not natural as it serves no purpose in nature. Most conservatives do not give a f about what you do in your personal life. What we give an f about is you shoving your lifestyle in our face. Keep neat, stay discrete.
True that it's not natural, It's just not a choice and I'm tired of people saying it is. Anyhow, it's the minority of gays that shove their lifestyle in our faces, but those who do get a lot of attention. The vast majority just want to live happily and don't care about being "out there".
>Plato86 Well, if by 'natural' you mean 'found in nature', it certainly IS 'natural', as homosexuality is expressed by every animal species of which I'm aware. Do educate yourself. We don't give an 'f' about your ignorance. What we give an 'f' about is you shoving your ignorance in our face, and trying to legislate it, to boot.

I hate Republicans. They are hypocritical, self-serving and evil. God, I'm sick of them. They are idiots like that ex-beauty queen Palin. True Americans are getting sick of you!
The only thing republicans do well is lie. (and steal, and....what do they really stand for anyway? Since they haven't really done much besides trash our President.....) They ARE very unfit to lead and should not be allowed to steal any more elections.
I understand GOP being the first word in the title because it's always funny when an anti-gay rights politician who runs on "family values" turns out to be gay or cheating on his wife in general.
I don't know why Tea party member are the following three words though. I mean I understand you're trying to prove your belief that all republicans and tea partiers are hypocrites or just plain stupid. But whether or not he's a tea partier is absolutely irrelevant to the story, to be fair.
If he was representative of true tea party ideals no one would give a shit if he was gay or not...as tea partyers want equal right and freedom for everyone. Hence a big gap between them and GOP sheep.
As a strong Ron Paul supporter I attended a # of his rallies - but I never saw the racist signs, or heard racist comments, or saw all the redneck nutcases like you see at the tea-partiees.
I think the TEA party was originally a great hodge podge of people from many different walks of life who are against govt expansion, undeclared wars, way too many taxes, the fed reserve etc. But overtime some of them (not all by far)have become nothing more than extreme left bashing groups as the are infiltrated by the far right fringes. Anyone with sense, like most Ron Paul/Dennis Kucinich supporters, know that BOTH partys actions or inactions are responsible for our current situation.
The GOP and the Tea Party are 2 different things but nice try at discrediting the tea party by linking them to the GOP and this guy. Don't allow yourself to continue to be manipulated by the Democrats and Republicans that have divided and conquered us by the super rich that fund both parties.
I've always liked that quote. It says it all to me. Such simple words which show incredible truth. I sure the creators thought so also when they were drawing up their plans to create the Federal Reserve.
The tragic (TOXIC) dumbing down of the conservative movement: Buckley / Goldwater (rolling over in their graves) Nixon's Secret Plan & Southern Strategy Reagan (Trickle-down & massive DEBT) Religious right hijacks Jesus. GOP hijacks the flag. Limbaugh & Hate Radio Family values hypocrisy Fox "News" Bush/Cheney Palin Birthers Beck GOP-Baggers (GOP HIJACKS Tea Party.) *The abyss? *Conservatives, you are HERE.

Why are the Moral-right always getting caught in gay-trists, DUI, or tapping shoes in some airport washroom seeking hot gay sex? What is it about seeking moral supremecy that causes the Republicans to go gay or whatever?
Hey he was always opposed, Maybe he was trying to see the otherside of the issues. Everyone and anyone in GOV watch out, all are open game and as the statement goes, The rulling party states clearly They Will Take whatever measures they need to take to bring DOWN The Constitution.

I'm a heterosexual man who opposes heterosexual marraige and i don't believe heterosexuals should be allowed the same rights and privileges as gays.
Maybe AssBurn just opposes the Gay's right to be like Heterosexuals because Heteros are boring and stupid with no class or taste. Maybe AssBurn is a Super Radical Fag with a Gay Underground agenda beyond our immediate comprehension that will come to light when Gays regain their status as edgy cultural innovators and groundbreaking social outlaws.
@Traveler2112 so will Fox!! oh wait, they won't cover it at all, or they'll leave the gay bar part out of the headlines since he's a Republican - well, what do you expect from a fake "news" organization run by a billionaire ultra-conservative
Those Republican politicians who are most screaming about family values & being against gay rights usually are the ones that turn out to be gay or to be employing prostitutes.
Are they in self-denial, or do they just believe they can tell their crazy followers anything & they'll believe it?
Nothing ever surprises me anymore when it comes to politicians whether they are Repubs or Dems. What's next CSPAN Phone Sex.....LIVE!! Want Nancy P. to talk dirty to you? Call 1 888 HousLedr j/k
This was said in jest. My point was thatthere are just as many Dems getting caught doing stupid things as there are Repubs and that their actions don't rally surprise me anymore. Just poking fun at the situation. Why so serious. Although the DUI was very serious and he should be slammed for it. The other part (Gay bar) is just ironic and hypocritical of him.
"Ironic and Hypocritical"???? He legislates against gay people, marries an unsuspecting wife to hide himself, and then only allows himself to manifest his sexuality in a light of hiding and perversion. That is destructive like a terrorist attach in the harm it does to millions. And Democrats do NOT do as many stupid things as the GOP because there is no shame manufactured by the Democratic Party for being true to one's self and being gay. Republicans=unfit to lead!
So the almighty Dems are just perfect. lol You believe that all you want. Both Partys "Leaders" are just as guilty. Whether it be ethics violations or voting one way while acting another. Dem leaders preach no war yet won't vote against it and in fact vote to continue it. Fail. They all, Dem/Repub leaders, have one goal: Get reelected no matter what they have to say to do it and then recant. Queen Pelosi herself recently said that about promises President Obama made during his election campaign.
Democrats didn't steal two elections. Democrats didn't roll back the tax cuts that may have possibly allayed immeasurable environmental destruction, before being reversed by reagan. It's not Dems who started two illegal wars based on lies and gossip and greed resulting in slaughter. This was republicans. Their supporters cheered them as they did all the above. Republicans must face the fact that they are guilty. Then we can deal with other party platforms. Let's not water it down. One at a time.
Bush wanted the wars. Theyre undeclared wars. Congress holds the TRUE power when it comes to wars. They couldve said NO! DEMS along with Repubs voted FOR the wars. Can't blame just Repubs. AND DEMS took control of Congress in 06 and had 2 years during Bush to stop funding the wars BUT DIDNT because all they cared about was the 08 election and knew that stopping funding of the conflicts would make them "look" like they dont care about the troops. THEY sacrificed our troops just as much as Bush.
Which, with the exception of very few Dem and Rep elected officials, I group the lot together. Neither side as a whole has done the American people justice. BOTH sides has spent/borrowed us into a debt situation that I doubt this country will ever get out from under. BOTH Partys have made the current system of Govt unsustainable. And the sooner people see that THEN the sooner we as a nation will elect true FISCALLY concious individuals to run our country on a BUDGET instead of spending us dry.
Actually there were Budget surplus's after the Clinton terms. I think it was actually a record surplus. The deficits, the "drunken spending", the borrowing to give away tax breaks to rich people who even at the time said it did them no good because they had so much money, all republicans. All problems from which the country suffers can be traced back to republican. Trickle Down? A terrorist strike. Republicans are terrorists who work in tandem with the zionists to bring down the USA
This is the problem I see. There are too many DIEHARD Repubs and Dems who have forgot that they are Americans first and foremost and completely refuse to see any good in the other side and refuse to denounce any wrongdoing by their own Party. That is what drives this vicious circle of status quo politicians on both sides. No real change is ever made. It is perceived change all the while expanding Govt. When was the last time a CongDem even brought up the idea of term limits as there should be.
And just as you would never say there wasn't a budget surplus under Clinton there are an equal amount of people who through their own means could disprove it. Its a game that two sides are playing to keep the people divided over petty issues because the Govt knows that a people divided are so so more easy to control.
There is no disputing the facts of the Clinton Budget Surplus's. It is in black and white or whatever color the way shape or form you google it or look it up in the library. It's common knowledge, not gossip. I am not united in any sort of love for Democrats but am most definitely united with anyone who agrees that the republicans are an outdated machine that must be broken down and sold for parts (I don't like littering)
You prove my point. I can go on Google and find just as many hits to dispute that budget surplus as there are for it. But you would never search it to read both sides because you don't think one even exists. But it is there in Google black and white. Are they right? Maybe they both are. The truth is: We dont need ANY Partys. No single or 2 party sys can ever speak for the masses because we are not a Democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic therefore there should be NO Partys only individuals.
Regardless of who is in power at any given time in our Govt., 51 percent of the people should never be able to decide the fate of the other 49 percent. That is not what a Constitutional Republic is about. It is about respecting everyones rights and liberties whether we pesonally like them or not. It is about tolerence of people with views that may differ from our own. That is what it is about and what we should be striving for. And to me BOTH current Partys fall way short of those ideas.
You have just stated why the republicans are unfit to lead. Are there some non-republicans unfit to lead? Yes but as individuals. The Republcan Party Platform is the platform. It is an outdated machine that needs to be liquidated and dismantled. They have provided nothing but destruction and greed gain for themselves at the demise of the country which they shirked their duties to represent in favor of their own short term gain. You and everyone must wake up to that fact while there is time.
As long as there are Political Partys, regardless of which one it is, running the Govt instead of the people then nothing will ever change until Govt has complete control over the people. If you really believe that the Democrat or Republican Partys are doing what they do "For the sake of the people" Then you are the one who needs to wake up. I'm done. Our very first President WARNED us of the dangers that political partys would bring to the country. He was epically right.
The Govts role has expanded exponentially in the last 100 years. Far exceeding the limits placed on it by the founders. Congress was mandated to meet once a year to discuss issues. It was never meant to be a full time career job. (Need term limits for all as a start) As more powers are given whether clandestine/ hidden in a bill or through fear and more controls over the masses are put into place, soon the original content of the Constitution and our Rights will be forgotten.
It was ironic that as part of being caught in the dui (plus the drugs and other things) that he had been in a gay bar which he had for so long harped against which in turn makes him a hypocrite also.
Another anti-guy conservative turns out to be a closet gay, exposing his wife to risk of contracting a desease. Also people close to the Pope involved in a male prostitution ring, paying thousands for male prostitutes. Maybe it is true what some psychoanalists say that homophobia is nothing more than supressed homosexuality. It can't be a coincidence that so many republicans and evangelicans are closet gay hypocrites.
That is not the point. The point is, most times when someone is staunchly against gay rights, they turn out to be frequent flyers themselves. This guy, like Ted Haggard, were so against gay rights, or so they said.
Doesn't matter much to me of his political affiliation, but more so that there are elected officials who say one thing in public and let their freak flag fly high when people's backs are turned.
I expect perfection in no one, as it doesn't exist, but I do expect honesty, especially one who is in the position of holding the public's trust and interests.
Specifically? It was that "potty chair and a crucifix" remark that caught my attention! I watched the entire clip again and it didn't mention anything like that...
Were you talking about Roy Ashburn in particular, or just the proclivities of another infamous GOP perv?

I think she means both, plus that these people tend to advertise themselves as super Christian blah blah blah, but like most toilets they are full of crap.
Thanks for the clarification, chgosatrap. Maybe it's wrong, but whenever one of these fake "family values," holier-than-thou types gets caught with his pants down, it fills me with a malicious glee and makes me curious about all the sordid details!
I agree with you, Woody, and I am a Christian. The family values nutjobs are so AGAINST families, it is pathetic. I am glad when they get caught, with or without their nasty pants!
Read Frank Scheafer's book, "Crazy for God" (frankscheaffer(dot)com). He grew up with the uber right; his father was VERY famous in evangelical circles, and was a favorite at a church I used to attend. Rachel Maddow interviewed him,; you can see it on YT.
What IS it with Republicans and illicit, homo sex?
Seems like conservative, anti-gay, closet cases get outed on a weekly basis nowadays!
I'm starting to think it's not so much the fear of ostracization, (the GOP is proving to be a hotbed of horny, powerful, gay men), as it is the attraction to the forbidden...
Nobody cares anymore, Rightards! Come out into the light of day with your unquenchable thirst for penis!
The Tea Party doesn't have a single leader, each person in the Tea Party movement is a leader. That being said I can't find anything associating this guy with the tea party movement on google besides references to this headline.
A person with an IQ of 80 could run this country better than what oBAMA has accomplished so far. Progressive liberals are jealous and angry at the tea party movement for a reason and one reason only - The tea party movement reminds them everyday how they were T-BAGGED by oBAMA! How's that hopey changey thing working for ya? LOL
@demonpreyer the tea party movement is great because-- like Ron Paul-- you all believe in getting out of Iraq immediately and that it was a huge mistake to get in there in the first place. I wish more people would advertise that!
These "tea Partiers" are not one group, not just liberal or conservative. You go ask a group of people that have been laid off, they all will tell you the same thing. They are mad because tax payers money was given to the big banks, it was not reinvested in America, and the jobs lost have been shipped over seas. It was started before Obama was elected. its like people forgot about 8 years of bush.
How many times do we have to hear about these nauseatingly sanctimonious and duplicitous homophobes before we realize that being a republican is really the perverse lifestyle? I believe the only reason that he is sorry is that he didn't get some dick before being caught.
Actually, this guy is a leader of the Taliban-wannabees of the Republican Party and the plane-crashing tea party psychos. This arrest story is the funniest since the outting of Sen. Larry Craig (R), Sen. David 'Diaperman' Vitter, and Pastor Ted Haggart.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you jackasses wouldn't know a tea-party "leader" if one of them kicked you in the ass--which would be a good thing to do. 1) the GOP doesn't own the tea party. they would like to but they never will. 2) there are no tea-party "leaders" which is why your you-tube crap means absolutely nothing. we are going to keep on coming at ya. so keep those useless y-tube posts coming. we like it when you waste your time and delude yourselves. it just makes our job so much easier.
Just another Republican hypocrite - living a life of lies and deception. He needs to be removed from office immediately - if for no other reason than driving drunk in a State owned vehicle.
And the attempts to smear the tea party continue. The are no politician players leading the true tea party movement with the exception of maybe Ron Paul.
typical GOP closet case ..I hope he gets the book thrown at him and spends some jail time..these closet cases are the biggest enemy of equal rights...hope he got some same sex action while he was in jail
So what he's a republican as I know conservatives who are gay but don't like gay marriage. Get over it as the hipocrasy of the left makes me sick. And why did they impound the car?

I understand GOP being the first word in the title because it's always funny when an anti-gay rights politician who runs on "family values" turns out to be gay or cheating on his wife in general.
I don't know why Tea party member are the following three words though. I mean I understand you're trying to prove your belief that all republicans and tea partiers are hypocrites or just plain stupid. But whether or not he's a tea partier is absolutely irrelevant to the story, to be fair.

If he was representative of true tea party ideals no one would give a shit if he was gay or not...as tea partyers want equal right and freedom for everyone. Hence a big gap between them and GOP sheep.

I think the TEA party was originally a great hodge podge of people from many different walks of life who are against govt expansion, undeclared wars, way too many taxes, the fed reserve etc. But overtime some of them (not all by far)have become nothing more than extreme left bashing groups as the are infiltrated by the far right fringes. Anyone with sense, like most Ron Paul/Dennis Kucinich supporters, know that BOTH partys actions or inactions are responsible for our current situation.

The GOP and the Tea Party are 2 different things but nice try at discrediting the tea party by linking them to the GOP and this guy. Don't allow yourself to continue to be manipulated by the Democrats and Republicans that have divided and conquered us by the super rich that fund both parties.

"Ironic and Hypocritical"????

And Democrats do NOT do as many stupid things as the GOP because there is no shame manufactured by the Democratic Party for being true to one's self and being gay. Republicans=unfit to lead!

So the almighty Dems are just perfect. lol You believe that all you want. Both Partys "Leaders" are just as guilty. Whether it be ethics violations or voting one way while acting another. Dem leaders preach no war yet won't vote against it and in fact vote to continue it. Fail. They all, Dem/Repub leaders, have one goal: Get reelected no matter what they have to say to do it and then recant. Queen Pelosi herself recently said that about promises President Obama made during his election campaign.

Democrats didn't steal two elections. Democrats didn't roll back the tax cuts that may have possibly allayed immeasurable environmental destruction, before being reversed by reagan. It's not Dems who started two illegal wars based on lies and gossip and greed resulting in slaughter. This was republicans. Their supporters cheered them as they did all the above. Republicans must face the fact that they are guilty. Then we can deal with other party platforms. Let's not water it down. One at a time.

Bush wanted the wars. Theyre undeclared wars. Congress holds the TRUE power when it comes to wars. They couldve said NO! DEMS along with Repubs voted FOR the wars. Can't blame just Repubs. AND DEMS took control of Congress in 06 and had 2 years during Bush to stop funding the wars BUT DIDNT because all they cared about was the 08 election and knew that stopping funding of the conflicts would make them "look" like they dont care about the troops. THEY sacrificed our troops just as much as Bush.

Which, with the exception of very few Dem and Rep elected officials, I group the lot together. Neither side as a whole has done the American people justice. BOTH sides has spent/borrowed us into a debt situation that I doubt this country will ever get out from under. BOTH Partys have made the current system of Govt unsustainable. And the sooner people see that THEN the sooner we as a nation will elect true FISCALLY concious individuals to run our country on a BUDGET instead of spending us dry.
Traveler2112 2 years ago
Actually there were Budget surplus's after the Clinton terms. I think it was actually a record surplus. The deficits, the "drunken spending", the borrowing to give away tax breaks to rich people who even at the time said it did them no good because they had so much money, all republicans. All problems from which the country suffers can be traced back to republican. Trickle Down? A terrorist strike. Republicans are terrorists who work in tandem with the zionists to bring down the USA
callouschristian 2 years ago
This is the problem I see. There are too many DIEHARD Repubs and Dems who have forgot that they are Americans first and foremost and completely refuse to see any good in the other side and refuse to denounce any wrongdoing by their own Party. That is what drives this vicious circle of status quo politicians on both sides. No real change is ever made. It is perceived change all the while expanding Govt. When was the last time a CongDem even brought up the idea of term limits as there should be.
Traveler2112 2 years ago
And just as you would never say there wasn't a budget surplus under Clinton there are an equal amount of people who through their own means could disprove it. Its a game that two sides are playing to keep the people divided over petty issues because the Govt knows that a people divided are so so more easy to control.
Traveler2112 2 years ago
There is no disputing the facts of the Clinton Budget Surplus's. It is in black and white or whatever color the way shape or form you google it or look it up in the library. It's common knowledge, not gossip. I am not united in any sort of love for Democrats but am most definitely united with anyone who agrees that the republicans are an outdated machine that must be broken down and sold for parts (I don't like littering)
callouschristian 2 years ago
You prove my point. I can go on Google and find just as many hits to dispute that budget surplus as there are for it. But you would never search it to read both sides because you don't think one even exists. But it is there in Google black and white. Are they right? Maybe they both are. The truth is: We dont need ANY Partys. No single or 2 party sys can ever speak for the masses because we are not a Democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic therefore there should be NO Partys only individuals.
Traveler2112 2 years ago
Regardless of who is in power at any given time in our Govt., 51 percent of the people should never be able to decide the fate of the other 49 percent. That is not what a Constitutional Republic is about. It is about respecting everyones rights and liberties whether we pesonally like them or not. It is about tolerence of people with views that may differ from our own. That is what it is about and what we should be striving for. And to me BOTH current Partys fall way short of those ideas.

As long as there are Political Partys, regardless of which one it is, running the Govt instead of the people then nothing will ever change until Govt has complete control over the people. If you really believe that the Democrat or Republican Partys are doing what they do "For the sake of the people" Then you are the one who needs to wake up. I'm done. Our very first President WARNED us of the dangers that political partys would bring to the country. He was epically right.

The Govts role has expanded exponentially in the last 100 years. Far exceeding the limits placed on it by the founders. Congress was mandated to meet once a year to discuss issues. It was never meant to be a full time career job. (Need term limits for all as a start) As more powers are given whether clandestine/ hidden in a bill or through fear and more controls over the masses are put into place, soon the original content of the Constitution and our Rights will be forgotten.

Another anti-guy conservative turns out to be a closet gay, exposing his wife to risk of contracting a desease. Also people close to the Pope involved in a male prostitution ring, paying thousands for male prostitutes.

It can't be a coincidence that so many republicans and evangelicans are closet gay hypocrites.
