Are you now, or have you ever been...gay? (No, the Dems have no sense of decency)
Dems are ready to "out" gay Republican, and conservative group staffers. Why staffers? For one thing, the information is available. But as David Reinhard asks, "Are today's sexual McCarthyites suggesting traditional-values Republican lawmakers take steps to make sure they have no gay staffers?"
Let's not forget the Mark Foley affair was prematurely hatched, by October Surprise standards. Having had a chance to digest the Foley mess (Pew said last week the story "has not significantly affected the midterm races", after a week of the most intense coverage the scandal will see), voters seem likely to perceive the Dems' McCarthyism as a dirty, dirty election year trick. In any case, Reinhard explains why the tactic will probably fail.
"Have they no sense of decency?" No, they don't.
