Please pray for Senator Roy Ashburn of California.

[Levi Jones]

I have no doubt this is another clear cut case of the lieberal media railroading another one of our Godly Republican brethren.

Roy Ashburn ARRESTED: Anti-Gay State Sen. Got DUI After Leaving Gay Nightclub, Sources Say Early Wednesday morning, State Sen. Roy Ashburn (R-Calif.) was pulled over and arrested for drunk driving. Sources report that Ashburn -- a fierce opponent of gay rights -- was driving drunk after leaving a gay nightclub; when the officer stopped the state-issued vehicle, there was an unidentified man in the passenger seat of the car.

An unfortunate incident that could have happened to any of us. I am absolutely confident that there is a completely innocent explanation for all of this.
In the meantime, I'd like to remind everyone of the wise words of Ecclesiastes 3:

1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

A time to vote against "gay rights" measures, and a time to be arrested for drunk driving after leaving a gay nightclub with an unidentified man in the passenger seat of your car.

I have it on excellent authority that Senator Ashburn was on a reconnaissance mission for the DOF investigating radical queers.

I've been pressed into similar duty from time to time, so no one should ever be surprised if this happens you me someday.

My heart bleeds for this poor father of 4.

I read the comments at that site, and one in particular stuck out for me.

It is possible the senator unwittingly wandered into the gay bar simply because he wanted a glass of water. Horrified by what he saw on the premises, he needed to fortify himself with about 10 shots of whiskey. The "unidentified male" in the car with him was probably a bouncer the victim begged to see him home, in case any of the bars burly patrons, on the scent of fresh meat, decided to follow him home.

In short, remember that we don't have all the facts yet.

Why are you all defending this drunk driving family man who was seen leaving a gay bar with another man (and was thankfully pulled over before he killed anyone), while you're all bashing me for being supposedly gay, when I've never even identified as homosexual, over in my election thread?

Let me guess; it's because I'm not a republican?

That takes the cake! Leave it up to a Democrat to drag a good Christian family man down! The poor man accidentally walks into a bar full of homers and has a few to many cocktails to help remove the image from his memory and you claim him to be GUILTY. He will have his day in court and will be found not guilty.

P.S. We know you are a homer! See news article in election coverage!

Well, you know what I think's interesting about that "article"?

That you said you picked it up "while in Des Moines on business yesterday", YET IT BEARS TODAY'S DATE (? ? ? ? ?)

Does the "early edition" come out a whole day early, now?

I was there yesterday on business I picked it up on the way out of town this morning.

Well I am a fair, nice person so I will choose to believe you. Though any one who'd believe a candidate would give an interview like that is crazy.

(Also, that newspaper, whatever it is, doesn't look too reputable. They could use a good copy editor who might do some proof reading for them, some time.)

I am asking you again to take down that stupid article.

In the interests of free speech and campaign fairness, I'm afraid we can't abide by your request. We have a team of high-priced joo lawyers who know these things.

Sorry little buddy, Pastor Zeke says no .

Re: Please pray for Senator Roy Ashburn of California.

Did anyone in the liberal media think to ask the man in Senator Ashburn's car if he was there because the Senator had convinced him not to be gay anymore?

[BelieverInGod]

Re: Please pray for Senator Roy Ashburn of California.

Of course not, the media seems to think we're all secretly gay and just need to "come out". They even push the idea that the more you hate homosexuality, the more homosexual you are. How are you supposed to argue against that? No matter what you say, you're "in denial".

Re: Please pray for Senator Roy Ashburn of California.

Well, the kittens are out of the bag, now.

The lieberal media has forced good Senator Ashburn to proclaim from the rooftops, I'M GAY.

I don't think he's telling the truth. He just couldn't withstand the constant needling and jabs.

Ashburn says he's gay, defends vote record

SACRAMENTO -- Sen. Roy Ashburn, whose personal life became the subject of rumors in the wake of a DUI arrest last week, said today he is gay, but he defended his numerous votes against gay rights bills.

"I am gay... those are the words that have been so difficult for me for so long. But I am gay," the Bakersfield Republican told conservative radio talk show host Inga Barks in an on-air interview.

A Sacramento TV station last week reported that unnamed sources saw Ashburn at a gay bar the night before his arrest last Wednesday on suspicion of DUI. The speculation set off a media frenzy, rekindling rumors that Ashburn lived a closeted life.

Gay-rights advocates seized on the news to point out Ashburn's votes against gay rights legislation and his appearance several years ago at a rally in support of a proposed constitutional amendment to prohibit gay marriage.

Ashburn defended his positions, telling Barks he was representing his district, a mostly conservative area running from Bakersfield to Visalia.

“There’s never been a doubt in my mind on the position of the … vast majority of people in my district ... on these different issues,” he said. “And I voted as I felt I should on behalf of the people who elected me.”

He said he felt he could keep is private and personal life separate, but said "what happened … through my own actions the other night changed all that."

Ashburn has been on personal leave since his arrest, but is expected to return to the Senate today.

"I pray to God that I can find peace and I want to go back to work in the Senate," he said.

Re: Please pray for Senator Roy Ashburn of California.

As a former gay myself, I have to respectfully disagree with you Sister Cookie. I think it is more likely that this queer was pretending to be a Republican all along. Since there are no real Republican homos, and he is shouting from the roof tops that he prefers anal sex instead of procreative sex, there can be only one answer.

As we all know, the gay lifestyle choice is a mental disease that sodomites choose not to cure themselves of. If he was a real Republican, he would simply choose to cure himself of his Sodomania. Instead, he has chosen to wallow in his wanton and accursed depravity. I suspect it will not be very long before he admits that he is a Democrat.

As you are a woman, I am not surprised this snake in the grass managed to deceive you.
