Republican Consultant His Marries Same-Sex Partner
Prominent Republican consultant Arthur Finklestein has married his male partner in a civil ceremony in Massachussetts.
Arthur J. Finkelstein, a prominent Republican consultant who has directed a series of hard-edged political campaigns to elect conservatives in the United States and Israel over the last 25 years, said Friday that he had married his male partner in a civil ceremony at his home in Massachusetts.
Mr. Finkelstein, 59, who has made a practice of defeating Democrats by trying to demonize them as liberal, said in a brief interview that he had married his partner of 40 years to ensure that the couple had the same benefits available to married heterosexual couples.
"I believe that visitation rights, health care benefits and other human relationship contracts that are taken for granted by all married people should be available to partners," he said.
He's right. But what about the hypocrisy? And what will James Dobson and Jerry Falwell say?

Selfish bullies:
- so-called draft dodgers attack war heroes lilac John Kerry for not being patriotic enough, pass out purple heart Band-Aids to get a laugh, to get republican votes
- junkies, like rush, want to crucify drug users, blame liberals for drug problem to get republican votes
- perverts, like bill O'Reilly, herald the impeachment of bill Clinton for getting a blowjob, to get republican votes
- gay guys, lilac Finkelstein, have a same sex marriage, after a lifetime spent earning big bucks criticizing advocates for gay rights, to get republican votes
Is it a cult? How did this happen?
