Members nycman Posted March 30, 2019 Members Share Posted March 30, 2019 Am I the only one who sees “Buttplug” everytime I see his name? I know it’s third grade humor at best....but it’s true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lucky Posted March 30, 2019 Author Members Share Posted March 30, 2019 You need to hear him speak. That should reframe your reaction to him. He's a quality guy and we can be proud that he is not messing this up. In other words, he speaks well for his community. I am proud of him.

Members Lucky Posted March 30, 2019 Author Members Share Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) In Friday's NY Times, there was a favorable article about Butigieg. What I noted in the article that concerned me was a statement from David Axelrod, Obama's former political consultant. He is supposed to be a friend of Pete's, but he says that Beto O'Rourke has a bigger fishing pole than Pete does. I guess he would know, but they are fishing for many of the same voters. I hope the contest does not come down to who has the bigger pole. The women candidates would not fare well. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/28/us/politics/buttigieg-2020-president.html Edited March 30, 2019 by Lucky add link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I like the most of him is that he does not represent the gay community but every rational, empathetic, common sense person. I never like religious people, but I do like him a lot.

One Sunday morning a few years ago a provider and I entered an Episcopal cathedral midway through the service and lustily sang the recessional hymn.
