There are two stories of high ranking republicans from Florida and the former executive director of the GOP in Georgia in the news that you probably have not heard. These two stories are of the fall from grace and murder suicide of a few anti gay republicans who apparently got caught with their hands in the perverbial 'cookie jar' engaging in homosexual behavior and affairs. While I would normally not be drawing attention to the troubles that have befallen these men, these men belong to an organization, the republican party, that preaches against homosexual behavior. I normally do not care what anyone does within their own homes as long as it does not affect me, but when people spend their time preaching hate and condemnation for the same behavior that they themselves indulge in, it bothers me. I will never preach against drinking beer on Saturdays while watching football- because I love watching football and drinking a few beers.
This first one from Mid July.State Rep. Says He'll Plead Not Guilty To Solicitation Chargehttp://www.wftv.com/news/13670554/detail.html
"TITUSVILLE, Fla. -- A Republican state lawmaker charged with offering to perform oral sex for $20 on an undercover male police officer vowed Thursday to defend himself in court and said he would not resign from office.
Police revealed new details about Allen's arrest on Thursday. His arrest affidavit says Allen followed the male undercover officer into the men's restroom and then, after talking to him from over the stall door, Allen stepped into the officers stall with him and stood against the door.
According to the report, Allen asked the officer, "This is kind of a public place isn't it?" The officer replied, "Do you have somewhere else we can go?" Allen then responded, "How about across the bridge? It's quiet over there."
The conversation continued and, police said, Allen told the officer he wanted the undercover officer to ride with him to the wildlife refuge and Allen would give him the $20 and perform the sexual act on the officer there. The money was never exchanged because, as soon as they left the bathroom, the lawmaker was arrested.
Allen was charged with solicitation for prostitution, which has a maximum penalty of one year in jail. Brevard County jail officials said Allen posted a $500 bond. While being transported to jail, Allen told WFTV Channel 9 that the situation was "a very big misunderstanding."

The second is the story of a murder suicide following a 'lover's spat'.Lovers' Quarrel May Have Sparked Murder-Suicide Prominent Republican Party Consultant, 2 Others Found Deadhttp://www.local6.com/news/13957884/detail.html
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- A prominent Republican Party consultant is one of three men found dead in a Central Florida home Thursday in an apparent double murder-suicide possibly sparked by a lovers' quarrel, according to detectives.
When deputies arrived at the home after receiving the call at 9:13 a.m., the front door was open, and officers said they found the victims inside and signs of a struggle.
"We are working it as a homicide, but there is some early evidence to suggest that this may in fact be a murder-suicide," Orange County sheriff's Sgt. Allen Lee said.
The three men may have been dead since Tuesday.
The home's address is listed as the office of The Strategum Group, a firm founded by political strategist Ralph Gonzalez.
Gonzalez's clients have included U.S. Rep. Tom Feeney, State Rep. Dean Cannon and U.S. Rep Tom Price, according to the firm's Web site. Gonzalez is the former executive director of the Georgia Republican Party, the Web site stated.
