My, my. What is it with certain members of the Harris County Republican Party? Methinks that it might have something to do with this:
Psychoanalysts use the concept of latent homosexuality to explain the emotional malaise and irrational attitudes of some individuals who feel guilty about their erotic interests and who struggle to deny and repress homosexual impulses.
I mean, seriously, there is something not right with a few people within the HCRP leadership. Let’s take a look at the person handpicked to be Chairman Jared Woodfill’s personal gatekeeper on the Vacancy Committee, Terry Lowry. How do I know that he was handpicked to be Jared’s personal gatekeeper? Because Jared said so on one of Mr. Lowry’s pre-taped radio segments this week:
Jared Woodfill and Terry Lowry
There you go. Chairman Woodfill stated that he wants Lowry to do exactly what he did to Chris Busby, as I detailed here.
You can listen to the entire Lowry/Woodfill interview here. I encourage you to do just that to get a good glimpse of why the HCRP is shrinking daily. They also do a pretty good job of describing how the Republicans took over the state by attracting socially conservative Democrats to take over the Republican party. The problem is that today’s demographics are completely different than they were in the late 80’s/early 90’s. Those former Democrats that vote solely on social issues are, well, getting a bit older and there just aren’t as many of them as there used to be. The very end of that interview is just sickening for those of us that believe in the New Testament. Jesus came to heal and forgive, not to bash and ostracize.
This has sort of been homosexual week on the “What’s Up Radio Program“. Tuesday’s show was titled “Sexual Predators are Lurking Everywhere. No Child or Teen is Immune” and featured Lowry talking to 80 year old Judith Reisman (www.DrJudithReisman.org), who fancies herself as an expert on weird sex, whatever that is. This one was really bizarre – Lowry put himself up on the cross because, you know, the work of Jesus wasn’t enough. Lowry is persecuted, you know, because he is going to “tell the truth” about them there homosexuals. See definition above. Wednesday’s program was titled “Antisocial and Ignorant Behavior” and featured two segments with Houston Pastors Council founder Dave Welch and one with the aforementioned Jared Woodfill on “Gay Rights and the GOP”.
Some of the stuff was, as I said, bizarre. Once again he referred to the “National Gay Agenda” and said that he asked Busby if it was okay for him (Lowry) to have sex with a 10 year old girl and for him (Busby) to have sex with a 10 year old boy. Lowry claimed that Busby answered that question with “sex ed should be taught at home”. Lowry’s claim is refuted by eight people that were in the room plus Busby himself. Busby answered “of course not”, as anyone in their right mind would. But Lowry and “Dr” Reisman had a field day talking about it, with “Dr” Reisman claiming that obviously Busby’s answer was yes because he refused to answer. Here is that specific segment:
Terry Lowry sex with 10 year old question
How about that laugh at the end? Hillary-esque much? You can listen to the entire interview here. Again, I encourage you to do so. You will immediately see why the HCRP is shrinking. And you’ll also get a glimpse of some bat-guano-craziness that is hurting the Republican brand as a whole.
One of the “points” that “Dr” Reisman made was that 64{997ab4c1e65fa660c64e6dfea23d436a73c89d6254ad3ae72f887cf583448986} of forcible sodomy victims are under the age of 12 and that this is what is going to happen in the Boy Scouts now that they’ve allowed scouts to be openly gay. Yeah, she said that. Her statistic comes from a 2000 report US Dept of Justice’s Bureau of Statistics. What she FAILED to mention from the same report, purposefully I’m certain, is that 5 of 6 sexual assaults of young juveniles occurred in a residence and that strangers were the offenders in less than 3{997ab4c1e65fa660c64e6dfea23d436a73c89d6254ad3ae72f887cf583448986} of those under 6 and less than 5{997ab4c1e65fa660c64e6dfea23d436a73c89d6254ad3ae72f887cf583448986} of those between 6 and 11. Put your thinking caps on for a minute and tell me who is committing these crimes. Hint: it ain’t some homosexual passing by that gets an “urge”. Good grief, this woman has a doctorate? Pity the university that awarded it to her.
On top of these problems, Woodfill is trying to implement a strategy of GOTV of evangelical Christians versus expanding the party. He truly believes that had evangelical Christians just got up out of their pews and voted, Mitt Romney would be president now. You can hear him say that in the above linked interview or you can read mi amiga Karen Townsend’s excellent review of a Woodfill presentation given to the Greater Houston Pachyderm Club Tuesday: HCRP Chairman Woodfill Speaks to Greater Houston Pachyderm Club. Delusional.
The Chris Busby affair has nothing whatsoever to do with changing the Republican Party’s platform and eliminating social issues. The idea that allowing one person to work organizing a precinct will somehow turn the executive committee meetings into wild homosexual orgies is ridiculous. Working with people who agree with 80-90{997ab4c1e65fa660c64e6dfea23d436a73c89d6254ad3ae72f887cf583448986} of the platform is the point. Growing the party by reaching out to all people is the point. Expanding liberty and freedom is the point.
Make no mistake – Chris Busby will be a precinct chair when he is elected in the next primary. I know that makes a few “leaders” quake in their boots but that is going to happen. And because of this episode, I guarantee you that more people like Chris, you know, ho-mo-sex-u-als, are going to file, run, and win. And that’s a good thing for the party. If it takes three or four cycles to get the HCRP turned around and back to winning elections in Harris County during presidential years, so be it.
