Cong. Schrock 'stonewalls' media in responding to 'outing' report
A gay activist web site in Washington, D.C. has posted a report that 2nd District Rep. Edward Schrock of Virginia Beach has lived a secret homosexual life, but Schrock is not talking to the media.
Schrock has declined multiple attempts by Virginia News Source to comment on the charge. At least one television station, The Virginian-Pilot, and the Newport News Daily Press are also working on the story.

VNS submitted a faxed query to Schrock's chief of staff Tom Gordy at Schrock's Virginia Beach office Friday asking for Schrock to comment.

Schrock refused to either deny or confirm the report in response to the VNS query. Voice mail messages left at his DC office were also ignored and an email was rejected.

I bet the all the closet queens in politics are wetting themselves right about now.

this is cute:

Schrock has reportedly hired a lawyer. Michael Rogers, publisher of the gay web site http://www.BlogActive.com , said he'd welcome a lawsuit. "I couldn't pay for the kind of publicity we'd get from a lawsuit. It would give us the opportunity to subpoena records that will be very revealing," Rogers said over the weekend.

7. Wrong my friend. He's a freaking self-hating hypocrite
who gets a 92% rating on voting from the Christian Coaltion, and co-sponsored DOMA, yet he apparently buggers everthing he can get his hands on .

This is wrong, wrong, wrong, and I hope gay activists in the know out every single one of these pieces of shit.

8. It is a big deal
Take a look at his voting record:

2001-2002 Based on the votes, and co-sponsorships the Human Rights Campaign considered to be the most important in 2001-2002, Representative Schrock voted their preferred position 0 percent of the time

A typically duplicitious Republican hypocrite, representing a benighted district.

9. Out him! Do it, Do It, DO IT!!!
All conservatives with anti-gay voting records or public positions in opposition to equality for gays and lesbians should be outed if they have ever or currently engage in homosexual behavior.
