Haven’t they figured out e-mail, texting, cellphone calls, &c, &c, are all sure ways to get caught?

You might as well behave yourself.

Sin darkens the intellect, i.e., makes you stupid. More reason to stay vigiliant, go to confession often, and fear God by avoiding mortal sin.

This is just bizarre.

"Emails shared with The Indianapolis Star suggest that state Rep. Phillip Hinkle – responding to a local posting on Craigslist – offered a young man $80 plus tip to spend time with him Saturday night at the JW Marriott hotel. The emails, sent from Hinkle’s publicly listed personal address, ask the young man for “a couple hours of your time tonight” and offer him cash up front, with a tip of up to $50 or $60 “for a really good time.”

The email exchange is in response to the Craigslist posting in which the young man – who lists his age as 20 in the ad but says he is 18 years old – says, “I need a sugga daddy.”

The young man told The Star that they met, but that he tried to leave after the man told him he was a state lawmaker. He said the lawmaker at first told him he could not leave, grabbed him in the rear, exposed himself to the young man and then later gave him an iPad, BlackBerry cellphone and $100 cash to keep quiet. When contacted by The Star about the emails, Hinkle, a Republican who represents portions of Pike and Wayne townships, did not contest the emails but said, “I am aware of a shakedown taking place.”

The sad part is that Hinkle attends Catholic church in Indy.

Do you think he might be a homosexual?

I am sure he was tracking down the explosive allegation that the republican treasurer of the Bugsplat high school student council could not account for a 3 cent discrepancy in the councils funds
 
I was in southern Indiana this weekend and this case was garnering continuing publicity.

Of course, we could be discussing if some stuffed puppets should be involved in a same (sex?) marriage.

Early childhood instruction? Factual discussion of marriage and death for pre-schoolers? Diverse members of a cast interacting with them?

Those puppets must be Democrats.

Diversity, as in teaching kindegarteners about same-sex marriage is good too?

Yup. Democrat for sure.

Not that ther is anything wrong with that?

That’s not on the show.

But it does have a diverse cast of characters; which is much more like a Democratic than a GOP gathering.

I guess if one beleives we are defined by the color of our skin that would be important. i know it isso important to the Democrat Party that it impses a strict racial/gender quota on delegates to their national conventoion.

Because that seems to be the kind of thing that takes hold here. The question of homosexuality seems to have the most readers and responders. Why? I don’t know. Posters seem to want to place homosexuality as a partisan divide, but it really is not.

Well it is your puppet show, so I guess you get to define what the terms.

Conservatives generally define diversity in terms of ideas rather than skin tones though. The true diversity of the human race is in the interplay and interaction of different ideals and worldviews of what constitutes the good life.
A puppet show with Democrats only is not really diverse at all.

When the voter starts to recognize that a politicians private sex life is really none of our business, such stories will stopped being presented as fodder to ruin the careers of the other side. Liberals understand that the Republican voter especially is very demanding when it comes to sexual picadilloes of the men that they elect, so they continue to find advantage in giving these kinds of stories as much air time as possible.
People complain about the paucity of choice there in actually choosing a politician, but the fact is that there are very few people who are willing to stand against the brutal scrutiny that the politician is examined with by all the peering eyes sniffing through all the dirty laundry. Very few have been able to live the kinds of lives without stumbling a few times to where reputations will be ruined. Even for the very decent, the constant attempts to ruin careers through innuendo if nothing else exists is simply not worth it. As a result only the crassest and most thick-skinned even consider running.

As Catholics we are obligated to inform each other that acting on one’s homosexual impulses is wrong and sinful. Our sexual ideal is in the procreative, unitive bonds of matrimony between a man and a woman. All else falls short of Gods plan. Other than that, the decent thing to do usually involves looking the other way and refraining from the kind of gossip that only serves to ruin people’s careers.

This is really a liberal type of message above all. Liberals, of all people, really ought not to be engaging in this type of politicking. It ought to be beneath them and contrary to their own ideals.

You surely make this a partisan incident, which it is not. Conservatives never were eager to let the private lives of Studds, Ted Kennedy or Barney Frank stay private. Now this is a liberal ploy to air the other party’s dirty laundry? I think not.

Conservatives were also not so eager to oust Vitter or Dan Crane, the IN congressman. So we can just leave this as another example of a representative with no judgment and try to stop making larger partisan blanket statements.
