The Christian Civic League of Maine's Mike Hein calls Pam's House Blend:
"a leading source of radical homosexual propaganda, anti-Christian bigotry, and radical transgender advocacy."

He is "praying that Pam Spaulding will "turn away from her wicked and sinful promotion of homosexual behavior." (CCLM's web site, 10/15/07)


Ex-gay "Christian" activist James Hartline on Pam:
"I have been mocked over and over again by ungodly and unprincipled anti-christian lesbians."
(from "Six Years In Sodom: From The Journal Of James Hartline," 9/4/2006, written from the "homosexual stronghold" of Hillcrest in San Diego).

"Pam is a 'twisted lesbian sister' and an 'embittered lesbian' of the 'self-imposed gutteral experiences of the gay ghetto.'" -- 9/5/2008



Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality heartily endorses the Blend, calling Pam:

A "vicious anti-Christian lesbian activist."
(Concerned Women for America's radio show [9:15], 1/25/07)

"A nutty lesbian blogger."
(MassResistance radio show [16:25], 2/3/07)


Pam's House Blend always seems to find these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The home state of her wife? I know, they are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.

Fossella's judgment day?

by: Pam Spaulding

Mon May 12, 2008 at 10:30:00 AM EDT


"Has the Catholic Church now sanctioned adultery?"
-- John Adrian, a 64-year-old gay activist on Staten Island, in the NY Daily News on Fossella's oh-so-pious, anti-gay record.
You have to read this NYT rise-and fall profile of the latest Republican Sexual Hypocrite, NY Congressman Vito J. Fossella. The triple threat -- arrested for DUI in Virginia, fornicating and procreating outside of his sacred marital bond -- is hanging on by a thread. Today is supposed to be the deadline (that GOP leaders set) for Fossella to make a decision about whether to resign.

I love this opening of the article.

When Vito J. Fossella Jr., the soon-to-be boy congressman, stood beside the young girls of a cheerleading squad at the Excelsior Grand catering hall in 1997, it seemed a particularly vivid version of Staten Island pageantry. Mr. Fossella - 32 and with Al Pacino looks - was on his way to becoming the sole Republican in New York City's Congressional delegation at a spirited party billed as an evening of "pasta and politics."

George H. W. Bush and Senator Bob Dole were there that night, strolling past the steaming trays of ziti and charging donors $1,000 each to pose for pictures. Sonny Bono was on his way from California to stump with them the next day. Mr. Fossella, the man of the hour, raised his hands, quieted the crowd, then launched into a rousing speech on cutting taxes and championing school choice.

The rising GOP star was eager to take his seat and vote the Republican Sexual Hypocrite party line back in 1997:
Mr. Fossella, victorious with 62 percent of the vote, was so intent on getting to Congress that, according to The Staten Island Advance, he flew to Washington from Newark carrying the morning papers proclaiming his own victory only 10 hours after it was announced.

Once there, he established himself as a reliable member of his party. He voted to impeach President Clinton, followed President Bush's war policies in Iraq, voted to eliminate financing for Planned Parenthood and supported a constitutional amendment against gay marriage.

And, as others have noted, the man even shuns his lesbian sister, refusing to attend any family events if she and her partner will be there.

Guess he has personal motivation behind these actions on the Hill:
* he voted to ban any funding for joint adoptions by gay couples
* the above-mentioned Marriage Protection Amendment vote
* he called for the withholding of housing funds from San Francisco unless the city repealed its domestic partnership law.

More below the fold.

Pam Spaulding :: Fossella's judgment day?
Fossella represents what the NYT refers to as "the heavily working class district" of Staten Island, but he's finding few supporters in his district these days.
Even though it's a conservative district, his hometown paper has kicked him to the curb: From the Staten Island Advance:
In order to avoid prolonging the agony for his family, his friends, and even himself, he must leave now, remove himself from the public eye and allow this vicious one-two punch of scandalous behavior to recede into ignominy.

He must do so for the sake of his family, his supporters and all his constituents in Staten Island and Brooklyn. He can no longer be of use as an elected representative now given his self-inflicted wounds.

The NY media is having a field day. Look at this morning's report from WCBS:
Democratic and Republican Congressional officials are reportedly looking into Fossella's mysterious and expensive trip to France in 2003 with his mistress, Laura Fay.

It was called a fact-finding mission to La Hague's nuclear fuel reprocessing plants, according to the Daily News.

However, the Staten Island Republican was the only lawmaker authorized to go. And according to one committee member, it may have been less about nuclear power and more about fueling his relationship with the Air Force legislative liaison officer, the retired colonel who subsequently bore the congressman's love child.

Should Fosella repay taxpayers for his travel expenses if investigators find he mixed pleasure with business?

But you know what? In an all-too-familiar turn of bonus hypocrisy, fellow New York Republican, Long Island congressman Peter King, is mad because his fellow Republicans on the Hill are telling Fossella to resign pronto.
Long Island congressman Peter King slammed fellow Republicans for "posturing" by pressuring his close friend Rep. Vito Fossella about resigning amid revelations of Fossella's drunken-driving arrest and secret love child.

"To me, it's putting a knife in the back of a good guy who's made a mistake," said King (R-Seaford).

"He's entitled to an interval of decency without having this constant pressure coming from his own party," King said of his friend charged with drunken driving in a Virginia suburb.

Think he would be that compassionate if the drunken adulterer had a "(D)" after his name?

Wait a minute...
Fossella took a 'fact-finding trip' with his mistress????

After all the supposed indignation from the christo-fascists when Nancy Pelosi had to step in to force the military to fly Tammy Baldwin's life partner with her on one of her trips???

I guess I shouldn't hold my breath waiting for the freepers to denounce Congressman Fossella's brazen misuse of congressional travel....


Long Election Year
Ah, another "traditional family values" Republican hypocrite exposed.

Something tells me this is going to be a VERY long election year for the Republican party.  Of course, it's due payback for giving us 8 long years of King George II!  


Poor Guy

It is always kind of sad to see a life self destruct in public.  On the other hand, you can just see the future ... divorce, marriage to the mistress, AA and sobriety (if he is smart), reconciliation with his sister, a change of heart and an end to hypocrisy.  Well, all that is in Vito's future if he plays his cards right.  But first comes the pain and the grief.  Sad to watch.

Interval of decency????????????

Perhaps he could use one...he certainly hasn't had much of it on the last several years...

Question:  What does an atheist do when they fall to the floor and start "speaking in tongues"?

Answer: Get a CAT scan.


Family Values?

Perhaps he is simply affirming his committment to "Family Values" by having two of em?

Question:  What does an atheist do when they fall to the floor and start "speaking in tongues"?

Answer: Get a CAT scan.


Yes
Shouldn't the Advance have said "In order to avoid prolonging the agony for his families...", using the plural.

Via TPM:

Not only was Fossella keeping his wife and family in the dark about his girlfriend and child in Northern Virginia. He was also keeping his girlfriend and child in Northern Virginia in the dark that he was still married and had a family in New York.

According to the Daily News, which has basically owned this story, Fossella had told Fay that he was separated from his wife. And it wasn't until Fay saw a draft of his press release apologizing for the incident that she realized that he was actually still married.

What a creep.

Unfortunately NONE of the 3 news articles call him a hypocrite.
That is what is needed.  The NYTimes doesn't even come close to really condemning him.  The NYDailyNews puts "family values" in quotes just like I did, but that's it.  The Staten Island paper condemns the most but only by referring to his DUI as 'moral descent" and "personal failings".  No mention of the hypocrisy of this typical anti gay elected official, who, oh yes, also happens to be a Repug.

Spare me.  

BTW...initial petition signature verification points to a certainty of the anti gay marriage amendment being on the California ballot in November.  Makes me wonder which is worst: a situation like Colorado's 1992 amendment which said no laws could be made in favor of equal rights for GLBTs, or an amendment which will put to a screehing halt the path to equality (no thanks to Arnold for vetoing equality legislation  TWICE!)?


Republican Hypocrite Bastard
Toast.
Buh-bye

Defining the lives of others by one's own professed "family values" ...
Oh...And by the way...

know what u are getting into

Another one?!
Geez, there's always more of these hypocrites coming out of nowhere.  But I guess KARMA always catches up to these freaks.

Rep. Peter King of L.I. likely has a little secret of his own....


...but he just.
Hasn't been caught yet. So he's never made a mistake.

A mistake
"To me, it's putting a knife in the back of a good guy who's made a mistake," said King (R-Seaford).

A (as in one single) mistake?  And what would that single mistake be - getting caught?

...or something. Look at this:

Source: Fossella To Seek Re-Election.

Despite calls for him to resign, it seems embattled Congressman Vito Fossella will be fighting to keep his seat on Capitol Hill in November.

A high-ranking Republican source on Staten Island told NY1 Saturday that Fossella plans to run for re-election. It would be his sixth term.

...Fossella had already started to campaign against Brooklyn Democrat Steve Harrison, who has also publicly called on Fossella to step down.

 

i hope so!
this means a certain win for the dem.  thank heavens for delusional vitter wannabees!

i wish
it were a certain win for the dem, but if fossella steps down the repubs will put up this law and order DA and under those circumstances the race is still considered "Rep favored" So the dems are talking about replacing Steve Harrison with one of 3 elected official - two of whom are EXTREMELY conservative Dems.  Please support Steve.. his website is www.harrisonforcongress.com

[ Parent ]
In That Case

As a hard core Dem, I hope ole Vito does NOT step down.  I hope he hangs on and runs for re-election.  May his alcoholic thinking keep him going until November ... then sobriety and right thinking and good things!!

But surely a Democrat can beat Vito in November!

I Do Not Mean A Word Of It

I just don't mean it ... I really hope Vito get sober and finds his way out of Congress and into sobriety real quickly.  He needs to straighten out his insides and his family life real soon here.  the election will fall out as it does.  This man needs help and to get sober.  I wish him well and OUT of Congress and into AA.  Hope he finds his way.
