Richard Tisei is running for
Congress with an unusual resume. He's a Republican from Massachusetts
who is pro-choice, openly gay, and in favor of gay marriage. And yet
despite running diametrically opposed to where most of the party is on
social issues, Tisei is considered by top Republicans to be one of the
top GOP candidates challenging incumbents this election


"I consider myself a live and let
live Republican. I think the government should get off your back, out
of your wallet and away from the bedroom," Tisei says. On social issues
he says the parties needs to "have advocates on both sides of the isle
or you're never going to have true equality."

And Tisei is even willing to do something most Republican candidates for
Congress never do - - same something positive about President Obama.
Tisei praised Obama for saying his position on gay marriage has evolved
and he now favors it.

    There is room for dissent in the GOP, not so much in that other party.

    Paul Babeu the sheriff of Pinal county AZ is gay and Republican. I don't think sexuality and politics are the same.

    I would find this odd, but I guess you had not heard of the Log Cabin Republicans.

    He's a libertarian. I believe in the same idea as he does, except I wouldn't align myself with either party.

    Good for him!

    Now, if he can only withstand the backlash and hatred from conservatives and evangelicals!

    Hopefully they won't put a burning cross in his front yard.

    I do like the man's honesty and his live and let live approach. It really mirrors what I believe in, although I am not gay.

    "Republican from Massachusetts"



    Is he somehow related to this man? Sure as hell sounds like it.

    Yep, this is definitely Romney's long lost brother or something.

    He's only Republican in "label" in what might be the bluest of states. He won't remain Republican for long.

    He's a Liberal Republican. They exist. I have a friend who is one also, and a teacher who is a Conservative Democrat...
