I read somewhere that during the last Presidential election, in Ohio Republicans were sending people out on?

Question

election day, specifically men, and telling them to cross-dress and carry signs saying "Support Gay Marriage, Vote for Kerry". Is this true? If it is, how can this be considered ethical?

The article was in the Rolling Stone a few months back. It was hard copy so I don't have a link. Apparently whenever the Dems tried to confront them they would scatter, only to return later. As the source was the Rolling Stone, I was curious about the validity of the article.

Answer 1

LMAO,,,, yea, a dozen men in dresses turned the tide of the election...LMAO

Answer 2

First, I find this hard to believe. Second, intimidation at the polls is not that unusual. Democrats have been doing that in the inner city for years in less conspicuous ways. Third, did/does Kerry support gay marriage? Then what is wrong with telling the truth? Because you don't like the delivery system? Because Kerry lost in Ohio because of it? The truth is the truth, regardless how you tell it. You'll just have to get over Kerry losing, (I couldn't vote for that guy!) and hope for what you want you want in two years.

Answer 3

He voted against gay marraige before he voted for it............

Kerry initially said he does not support same-sex marriage, but supports civil unions. Kerry admitted to the Boston Globe that he is against a US Constitutional ban on gay marriage, but would support a Massachusetts ban, if it allows for civil unions.

On 2/27/04 Kerry said, in the Boston Globe about a Massachusetts amendment to ban same-sex marriage, "If the Massachusetts Legislature crafts an appropriate amendment that provides for partnership and civil unions, then I would support it, and it would advance the goal of equal protection."

In 1996, a less compromising Kerry gave an impassioned 10-minute speech on the Senate floor against an effort in Congress to define marriage only as a union between a man and a woman:


In 2002, Kerry teamed up with his congressional colleagues, signing a letter opposing Massachusetts’ last effort to outlaw gay marriage.New England’s largest gay-targeted newspaper, In Newsweekly, cited Kerry’s “flip-flops” on the issue of gay marriage in an editorial endorsing his rival, Sen. John Edwards.

Answer 4

by using evaluation Bush did the genuine injury. George left the financial gadget on the edge of fall down. Sorry, yet economists agree that Obama has helped to convey it back. bear in mind below Bush the taxpayers had to bail out the super money hobbies on Wall highway and the Banks with $seven-hundred Billion ? If that exceeded off below Obama welll comprehend comprehend how the Republican could react.

Answer 5

There were pictures of Repulicans posing as gay activists carrying Kerry-Edwards signs in Florida. I am not sure about Ohio though.

In the world of Karl Rove, the ends justifies the means. What is ethical has no meaning in his world.

Answer 6

I read that Democrats were eating little children if their parents didn't vote for Kerry. I dismissed it as bogus since I have an IQ over 50.

Answer 7

I live in Lorain,Ohio and voted for Bush.I witnessed no such activity at or near the polls.Heard nothing on the news either.The area that i live in is infested with Democrats,if that happened,i would have heard something.Nice Try!!

Answer 8

No I hadn't heard it. I think it's pretty good though. BTW, I had my pro-Bush signs stolen out of my front yard. I ended up slathering honey all over them so that when somebody tried to steel one on the way to work in the mornig he's/she'd be all messed up but wouldn't but hurt..

Answer 9

No, its not true. Did you hear this morning that Hillary admitted to having an affair with a female intern while Bill was president? How ironic is that?

Answer 10

I think you are confusing them with the gay activists who protested in favor of gay marriage - and LOST.

It is possible that Democrats protested in favor of unpopular laws.
