Bookmark and Share

State Senator Roy Ashburn (R-CA), a fierce opponent of gay rights in the Golden State, was pulled over for a DUI after leaving a Sacramento gay club in a state-issued car. Accompanying Ashburn in the car was an unidentified male passenger. State Senator Ashburn was placed into the custody of the Sacramento County Jail, where he was eventually released on $1400 bail.

Roy Ashburn is married, with four children. His district includes parts of San Bernadino, Kern, and Tulare counties. Before being elected to the California Senate, Ashburn served six years as a state assemblyman.

State Senator Roy Ashburn released the following statement:

“I am deeply sorry for my actions and offer no excuse for my poor judgment. I accept complete responsibility for my conduct                  and am prepared to accept the consequences for what I did. I am also truly sorry for the impact this incident will have on                          those who support and trust me – my family, my constituents, my friends, and my colleagues in the Senate.”

    Jud 1:7
    Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

    Strange flesh meaning same sex, look it up! Enough said??

    This is the subject matter where more conservatives disappoint me, I stand by what God has to say and that is it! If God had wanted homosexuality amongst us, he wouldn’t have made the gun and the holster, know what I mean?
    Those that continue with this ABOMINATION, don’t call it natural, there’s absolutely nothing natural about a pennies up a harry male ass, it serves no purpose other then the pleasure of unnatural degenerates!

      You sound just like Al Gore with your “enough said”. Strange flesh would have been the flesh of angels as mans flesh wouldn’t be strange to man.

      I’d like for you to quote gods exact words that you follow. Namely gods exact words about gays. You can’t. Stop lying to your self about god. Men are the ones who wrote the bible not god. These are not the words of god. These are the words of men.

      Your arrogance in disappointment that other conservatives don’t bend to will of words written by men that you just happen to have brainwashed into believing so strongly you are intellectual dishonest with your self to the point to saying that god has said things is repugnant.

      There is no god. Get over you bigotry and start acting like christian instead of just pretending to act like one as you lie about what god has said and done.

    I can’t help but laugh every time some bigoted, hypocritical neoconservative gets outed or outs themselves. The whole neocon facade cracks a little more every day.

    • toddthesofaking

      It’s clear that you put a great deal of thought in your choice of handle.

      Quite apropos of such a well-reasoned comment.

    The only thing this guy is sorry about is that he was caught. Must be a RINO. Seems he has not one iota of respect for his family and children.

    boy, you GOP rightwingers sure have a lot of fagolas for being the party of values….can you spell h-y-p-o-c-r-i-s-y??

      “homos and thieves”

      Does it make you feel important when you act like a raging bigot? Are you sure your superiority is justified? Your god is a lie.

  5. yellowstone

    Only 3% of the population is homosexual. That means they are “abnormal” by strict definition. Lets elect more of the 97% of normal people to represent us.

    The same game of ping-pong-different week.
    Massa-Ashburn
    Edwards- Sanford
    McGreevey-Craig
    Newsom-Vitter

    Liberal Democrat or Conservative Republican-it just doesn’t matter. A dog is a dog regardless of color.

    The guy is a liberal, we need to get these jerks out of the GOP or it is toast

    • scorpioman

      You better get to work because every time a photograph of the GOP is shown my gaydar alarm goes off. One of them is already toasted.

      • toddthesofaking

        “gaydar”?

        That’s really insulting and homophobic, hater.

        • scorpioman

          Everyone has gaydar. Why don’t you use yours sometime?

          • toddthesofaking

            Is that funny? Is that amusing to you, to use a homophobic slur like that? Well, it isn’t. It isn’t funny any more. People are dying, scorpioman. People everywhere are dying. Is THAT funny? Does THAT amuse you?

            Just stop it. Stop the hate. STOP THE HATE!

            STOP THE HATE BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!
            STOP THE HATE BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!

            HEY, HEY! HO, HO!
            SCORPIO’S GOT TO GO!

            RACIST, SEXIST, ANTI-GAY
            SCORPIO-MAN, GO AWAY!
            SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

          • toddthesofaking

            SCORPIO’S A HATER! GO EAT A TATER!
            AND DON’T LET A GATOR BITE YOUR TOMATER!

          • scorpioman

            Dude get a grip I’m gay as a Christmas tree. I can say homophobic if I want to.

          • scorpioman

            I use my gaydar all the time and it’s telling that you’re checking me out.

          • toddthesofaking

            @scorpionman

            Christmas trees aren’t gay.

            And denial is proof, self-loather.

            It’s also interesting to note that, at least in one set of circumstances, you seem ok with having one set of rules for one group of people and a different set of rules for another.

            I guess THAT kind of discrimination is ok. Racist-hater.

            HEY, HEY!
            HO, HO!
            SCORPION GOT TO GO!
            HO, HO!
            HEY, HEY!
            NO SCORP HATE TODAY!

            RACIST, SEXIST, AND HE’S GAY! (not that there’s anything wrong with that)
            SCORPY, SCORPY, GO AWAY!
            EAT YOUR DINNER OFF A TRAY!
            WITH I-CAN’T-BELIEVE-IT’S-NOT-BUTTER, SPRAY!

            SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

            HATER, HATER, GO EAT A TATER!
            AND DON’T LET A GATOR BITE YER TOMATER!

    • elyriaohio

      He’s a very confused hypocrite. A poster-boy for conservatives, not liberals.

  8. palmeto

    Its a shame he will never realize his dream of changing parties and coming out of the closet in the same week.

  9. sandra3dee

    Another senator bites the dust. They are just dropping like flies in Washington. It saves us from having to vote them out.
