STATEMENT OF MAYOR BENG CLIMACO (10am 9-14-13)

September 14, 2013 at 3:13am (3:13pm September 13, 2013 Ohio time)
Querido compoblanos de Zamboanga, 
 
Today, Sept. 14 is the 6th day since the standoff began Monday dawn. The spate of events that unfolded and continue to unfold are very heartbreaking and upsetting. 
 
Todo manera posible para termina este conflicto na mas temprano tiempo ta hace el govierno local y nacional. Mismo si Presidente Aquino hunto con su maga miembro del cabinete, si Sec. Roxas, Sec. Gazmin y Sec. Soliman el taqui ahora na Zamboanga para personalmente mira el diferente maga concierno del Ciudad. 
 
6 days after the spate of incidents in our beloved Zamboanga City–innocent lives have been lost, properties have been damaged and our economy paralyzed. The image of Zamboanga, which we painstakingly tried to restore, was instantly vanished because of this senseless acts perpetrated by a group of misguided elements. 
 
These past days the affected barangays remain barricaded and the entire city is virtually isolated from the world—our airports and seaports are closed, classes as well as work in all offices, except for agencies rendering frontline services remain suspended; forced evacuation is imposed on residents in the areas of concern; and the number of evacuation centers and evacuees are continuously mounting. 
 
El di amon simpatia ta extende contodo maga hostages quien hasta este maga tiempo talli pa na mano del maga insurectos. Our heart goes out to the hapless hostages who are in distress fearing for their safety, just as we also sympathize with the families of those soldiers, policemen and innocent civilians who perished and who were wounded in the course of the conflict. 
 
Querido compoblanos, todo kita ta sufri y todo kita victima de este crisis. Like you, I am in anguish and I am exasperated. Disgusto, desconsolacion y rabiya el cosa kita ta sinti por el sufrimiento y destroso que ta costa este sais dias de conflicto. QUIERE YO QUE TERMINA YA ESTE CRISIS ESTE DIA O NA MAS TEMPRANO TIEMPO.
Right from the start, we have shown decisive leadership, we have not stopped listening to your concerns and we have not succumbed to complacency. The measures we have taken were all in respect to agreements, rules of engagement, and ultimately TO SAVE AND PROTECT LIVES. 
 
Our police and military authorities continue to safeguard our territories and our people through confidence-building measures with calibrated military actions. We continue to support all their efforts and we thank them and their families for their selflessness and dedication to their duties. 
 
Ta rindi kame gracias contodo que ta ayuda alivia este di aton condicion por medio de donacion de comida, relief goods, y esfuerzo y tiempo que ta ofrece sila voluntariamente para asisti na di aton relief operations. 
 
To the business community, banking institutions and all other sectors concerned, thank you for helping us in providing essential services despite the very tensed situation. 
 
In this time of crisis, I call on all our people to remain united and strong. Our faith as a people is unshakeable. This is not an issue of religion for we have co-existed peacefully and worked harmoniously. This is an issue of people with misguided principles using arms to propel their ideology. This conflict has shown how galvanized and united we are as a city. Together we can rise up from this climate of fear and doubt and come out better Zamboanguenos and a more peaceful Zamboanga that we all hope for. 
 
Con todo maga oficiales de barangay, ayuda ustedes defende con el di aton comunidad en coordinacion con el policia y military. Set up early warning systems para informa si tiene desconosidos personas armao—UNIDO TODO KITA BAJO NA UN BANDERA FILIPINAS, UN CIUDAD ZAMBOANGA! 
 
MAY GOD SAVE AND PROTECT OUR PEOPLE AND OUR CITY.

Day 9 &10 of Zamboanga Philippines war

Friends,

Day 10
Not confirmed as of yet but a Filipina friend has relayed information that the Chief of Police with his men in Zamboanga City were captured by the MNLF.

More hostages have been released has been reported by the mayor.

This is from a teacher in Zamboanga City:

Day 9 of Zamboanga Stand-off is seen to be almost to finish. We praise God in all things that He miraculously has manifested to his children, and indeed still more amazing answers to our prayers will surely come today. I am so happy that after a couple of days of praying for the release of mostly my students from ZSCMST, my heart overflows with joy to see some of their names as listed on the TV screen among those 34 that was released last night. Just early this morning, my spirit leaps for joy when the teleradyo confirmed another 64 hostages who managed again to escape from their captors, and plus 5 and 9 which was aired at 7 am. Al of these victims are brought now to Camp Batalla.
Only few more victims have not been released. I urge all christians to continue uniting our hearts in prayer. I salute Lt. Col. Ramon Zagala for the calibrated response to the crisis which prioritize lives of the hostages rather than properties of damages.

PRAYER: Our most precious and loving Father, you're an awesome God who becomes our shield and comfort in times of calamities and war. We have seen your wondrous works in the Zamboanga crisis, and you have proven how majestic is your Name above all names! That if we, your creatures will humble ourselves and pray, you will not fail us! Today, we claim your tremendous power as we let your presence to be in our vicinity, your holy angels armed with fiery missiles to end up the atrocities of the MNLF today, today! yes today! In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, AMEN!

philippines update sept 15

Will try to add some comments tomorrow especially about what the mayor has to say. 
Carey Masci
 Until then here's another update:
Conflicting reports, a councilman of Zamboanga has reported that Malik the leader of the MNLF uprising, the man who was being interviewed and made the statement they want their flag over the city hall, has been killed.  Another report said someone looking like him was killed. 
*6 barangays are in the war zone.
Some stores are reopening.
Most are still in lockdown with no food. 
Some hostages escaped others were freed by the army.
Air strikes are ongoing. 

AFP (Arm Forces of the Phil): Killed in action - 3, wounded in action - 46
PNP (Phil National Police) - Killed in action - 3, wounded in action - 10
Civilian - Killed in action - 4, wounded in action - 22
No. of hostages released or processed: 34
No. of arrested MNLF: 56
No. of MNLF killed: 26
Mayor Beng Climaco: THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM OF RELIGION BECAUSE WE DEARLY LOVE OUR MUSLIMS, CHRISTIANS AND THE LUMADS IN THE CITY. Our heart bleeds for the Army integree who was killed in the encounter; my heart bleeds for the mother who mourns the loss of her new-born baby who died of tetanus for lack of the necessary medical attention; my heart bleeds for the men who have given their lives and those who continue to risk their lives just to protect our people and our territory; my heart bleeds for the countless displaced people like the Sama Dilauts, Yakan whom I frequently visit who gave me a hand woven mat, which, just like the vinta, is a symbol of unity in Zamboanga.
 

Mayor Beng Climaco: Let me reiterate to all of our people. This crisis is not an issue of religion. This had been made clear since the first day when this crisis begun. Let us not speculate and push further this divide as this will not help in solving the current situation of this city. This is an issue of those misguided people whose ideologies had been founded with the use of arms, ultimately to inflict terror to our people.
*A barangay is the smallest administrative division in the Philippines and is the native Filipino term for a village, district or ward. In colloquial usage, the term often refers to an inner city neighbourhood, a suburb or a suburban neighborhood.  Municipalities and cities are composed of barangays.

More on the Philippines Sept 14th

Friends,
more on the Philippines.

36,000 are now being evacuated. Wide spread damage. The Philippine army is doing what they can but the Muslims have enough human shields that keep the army from doing an all out attack.

The Moro National Liberation Front is behind this. In 2010 when I was in the Philippines I stayed at the resort of Dakkak while they had a gathering there. In 2012 at Astoria a party center, the day before we had it there was a Muslim wedding being peformed and the Philippine army had the place surrounded because they weren't sure if they were up to no good, the day after during our event it was quiet and peaceful.

Gun control, this is a perfect example of why guns should never be illegal to own or carry. In the Philippines it is unlawful to own a gun. Many live in fear because of kidnappers and that fear has recently become even more of a reality. The people there are told to stay indoors because of the Muslim uprisings.. The Muslim radicals are well armed but ordinary citizens aren't. How can they protect or defend themselves?

Those trapped or who are left in the city sleep dressed in case they have to flee. They also have one person stay awake to keep a vigil in case there is an attack. The question arises often in me, how will they defend themselves when they have NO guns but the enemy has?

Muslims advance slowly but steady. I sent an article out back in 2012 calling shame on the Philippines for brokering a deal with the Muslims giving them some land and calling it peace. The Muslims know NO peace. When world leaders make an agreement they celebrate peace and relax thinking the problem is solved. But when Muslims accept a cease in conflict its a time to reassess, rearm and immediately make plans for future advances. When will the world say enough to this Muslim scourge that keeps making them look like fools?

Most of the Filipino people have very little to begin with and now what little they have is being taken away by evil YES evil Muslims. I have made friends with many while over there, Ruth obviously has friends and family. They are some of the nicest people you will ever meet and have great respect for the US. I am deeply disturbed knowing that they are not eating tonight, sleeping in fear and what little they have is either up in flames or they have no access to it. I can't even send them money to help out while they can't work because the banks are closed, stores are closed, no food - nothing, Red Cross is now trying to get food and supplies in. Wake up America. This may be coming to a town near you.

More tomorrow.
Carey Masci

prayer request for the Philippines

Friends,

Please pray for the country of the Philippines. Ruth has family there. The Muslims are causing HELL in Zamboanga City. People are in lock down, places are on fire, hostages, it is war. When this will get coverage is a good question. Before we go to Syria this is where we should go as this country is a Christian nation and our ally.

We will not give up...because GOD hadn't give up yet on us..— at Zamboanga City.



Who ever thinks Islam or Muslims are peaceful is gravely naive.
Carey Masci



I will continue to write about this - stay tuned

a look back on October 2012: Shame on the Philippines



Well friends it didn't take long for Muslims in the Philippines to break their word or peace.


When will we learn you don't compromise with evil. And when will Americans accept that Muslims and Islam will wage a war inside America its just a question when.


Read what I sent out on Oct.22, 2012.

Subject: Shame on the Philippines






Friends,
Shame on the Philippines and President Aquino III for bowing to the pressure of the Muslims. Muslims know no peace until they completely conquer what they are after and what they are after is global dominance.

Having a Filipina fiancee I know first hand what the Muslims do. My fiancees good friend had to flee Jolo, Sulu which is in the southern part of the Philippines because of the constant gun fire and threat on her and her family's life.

Ruth also told me Basilan also has problems and it is common knowledge that these terrorists are getting help from other Muslim countries.

Wake up America this could be coming to a town near you.

Syria what about the Philippines

So many thoughts about Syria.

1. When W. Bush was talking about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction he was delayed going in. The Dems blocked it. During this delay it was quietly reported the weapons were leaving Iraq and going to Syria. Can we see bigger weapons being used or are the chemicals being used now part of what left Iraq?
2 Afghanistan is not settled, neither is Iraq, Egypt is ablaze, and Syria is falling apart. Is this part of the plan to destabilize that whole region to get things in line for a one world system?

3 My personal feeling is don't get involved, this is a civil war that we don't really know who is to blame or who is the good guy.

4. Our involvement would completely violate the constitution.

5. Confusing conflict with no clear plan. Repubs as well Dems want us to go in and also members from both parties don't. This will only divide America further.

In summary I believe it would be folly to get involved.

Concerning Egypt. The US is giving them billions a year in aid for no reason. I would offer them this, you want our aid you give us the Coptic Christians. After the transfer takes place cut aid. If this fails authorize troops to go to Egypt and rescue the Coptic Christians and bring them here. We need God fearing people regardless of race. 32,000 empty houses in Cuyahoga by last count I have. Even the Detroit area needs a population boost. In Carey's world this makes sense.

Now are you aware of the Philippines? One crisis is the on going friction between China and the Philippines about fishing grounds. China is encroaching on Philippines territory. The Philippines are America's strongest Pacific rim allie. Do we left China bully or crush the Philippines?


Wait thats only one crisis. Are you aware of what is taking place NOW in the Philippines? A Muslim uprising is occuring in the southern section of the Philippines in Zamboanga City. The Muslim kidnappers have enough human shields as they call the kidnapped victims to resist the Philippine army. Word has it, not 100% confirmed but more than likely true that help and funds for the Muslims are coming from the middle east and possibly Russia. America now has planes flying in that region.


Watch this clip and shudder. Are we on the brink of another world war?

carey's politcal humor for Sept. 2013

Everyone keeps asking with all that's going on Carey did you write your congressman? Let me set the record straight - YES I did. I sent them all a pink slip unfortunately they still showed up.
Did anyone hear Obama's speech on Syria? Its getting serious. I'm sure everyone remembers Bush's Shock & Awe. Well Obama has unveiled his plan, the Shuck & Jive.
Teary eyed Boehner then gave his speech on Syria. He was crying so bad they called 911. They weren't sure if Boehner was just getting sentimental or if the Syrian gas hit Congress.
Russian President Putin called Secretary of State John Kerry a liar. In turn Kerry called President Putin Genghis Khan.
I am worried though. If Obama's healthcare is bombing I am sure the same will happen with his plan for Syria.

Now I present to you... Great Quotes from Great Republicans

I am not a crook!   President Nixon

New - World - Order. President Bush Sr.

Islam is a religion of peace. President Bush Jr.

"I'll be better than Ted Kennedy" on gay rights. Governor Romney

You’re gonna eat that? Governor Chris Christie

All this talk about gay rights and same sex marriage. Obama has repeatedly said he has their back. I'm sure he has.

Change of thinking
I thought a lot about the illegal aliens in this country and the change from calling them illegals to undocumented immigrants. I agree. I also like to see a name change for thief’s or anyone that steals to unregistered owner.

Odd Fact
I bet you didn't know that the tiny town of Talkeetna, Alaska has a cat as an honorary mayor. A cat as a mayor. And if Hillary wins in 2016 we could have a dog as our president.

Signs of the times



Signs of the times
The way prices keep being raised I no longer wish for the 80's or 90's I just wish for yesterdays price.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last time at a drive in for me before this summer was in 2006, back then it was $10 per carload and you could bring food. Now it is $20 and you have to pay a premium of $5 if you bring your own food. Maybe we should start using the drive in admission as an inflation indicator.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lady butcher at Walmart was complaining she cant afford to help people any longer. 

It was late night, that's my excuse, so I stopped at Walmart to buy some burgers for the grill for my after hours supper. I commented to the butcher that the price of ground meat  is starting to make it a gourmet food and this is at Walmart!
She responded with this story... I grew up in Johnson, Tennessee. My father was a coal miner. I remember many days being hungry. I said to myself if I ever make it I will never go hungry and neither will anyone else I see. I moved up north and did OK. My brother stayed in Tennessee and became a preacher. He came up to visit a few years back
and told me of a family in his church that was having a hard time. I told him before he leaves I will empty out my cupboards and give it to him to hand out to that family. And I did just that. I emptied my shelves of all my canned food and what ever else that wouldn't spoil. I could afford to buy more and restock. Now I am having a hard time
keeping up financially and I feel bad because I just can't help people anymore.

She said this with all sincerity. 

PNC Bank Closing
One of the reasons I am beyond disgusted with the two main political parties is because of the constant bashing of each other without telling the full story or the truth.
Taken from the East Liverpool Review.
Downtown PNC Closes today, employees lose jobs. … 200 branches across 19 states will   close. …the closures are part of a $700 million cost cutting measure and noted the bank is attempting to cater more to their customers who are banking online.

What a shame.  East Liverpool as it is now looks empty and decaying, with this magnificent structure closing it will only worsen a bad situation.  Sure both parties have taken their part in destroying this nation but lets keep the facts straight.  Some of the economic uncertainty today is caused by our friend the computer.  And we can't live without it, or can we?

Lady at the Lake County Fair is saddened with the Fine Arts
I went to the Lake County Fair and I am one to look at everything, every display, every animal, every booth. I went to the Fine Arts building to look at the displays/entries.  The entries can be anything from a sewn item, photograph, carving, what ever a person creates  to a collection.  I was dumbfounded by what I saw or lack of what I saw.  The shelves were not filled and I saw things like simple Lego structures, stuffed animals, items you buy at the store om display.  I asked the lady attendee what happened and did these actually win awards?
 The lady was in her early 80's and said with disgust this is my last year, I have had enough.  The younger generation is not submitting or carrying on the tradition of crafts or hand made items from years ago.  We had to fill space so anything someone brought it we placed it on a shelf and they got a participation ribbon..  I am also disgusted with the young judges who don't understand what art is.  She showed me a beautiful quilt that took a woman 3 years to make and it didn't receive any award.  It is an end of an era.

Lake County at one time was the Rose capital of the world and right up there in nursery’s.  Times have changed, Lake County is being developed in the eastern end and corporations are taking over the farmland and building on it.
 The Fair was a disappointment and I can see a time when the fair will be called End of Summer Festival.  And
soon the family farm could be gone with just the corporate farms existing.

Signs of the times.

Don't blame Portman


Haven’t received a commentary from me in sometime.  Well here’s one.

Before you know it the next batch of elections will be here and everyone will be scrambling and yelping the sky is falling.  I hope before then the voters will get things right because they are as much or more so to blame then our politicians.  We put them in.

Take for instance Senator Portman.  You really can’t blame him for coming out in favor of same sex marriage.  The timing was right.  If a large percentage of so called Christian Conservative Right Wing Republicans voted for Mitt Romney who was known for his liberal leaning ways of accepting and furthering the homosexual agenda why wouldn’t a senator come out and say I am also in favor?  Romney blazed a trail, voters accepted it, Portman followed the path.  So can you really blame Portman?

I understand some getting confused and others being fooled after all the Christian voters guide had Mitts face on it for the presidential choice. But still this is not acceptable for the large number who voted for Mitt. People didn’t either do their homework or were so concerned of beating Obama at any cost they left their principles and beliefs out of the voting booth. 

What ever the reason people on the right are now starting to get overly concerned about the rapid progression the homosexual agenda is making.  They have their targets set on overturning the laws in Ohio protecting marriage and recently the Boy Scouts because of pressure have decided to allow homosexual boys in.

 Can you really blame the Boy Scouts for folding and giving up the fight?  Absolutely not.  I am sure they saw writing on the wall.  Again I have to repeat - If the majority of Republican voters voted for Mitt who was in favor of allowing people to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation where would the Scouts backing come from?  Definitely not from Republicans because their main goal is defeating Democrats not standing for what’s right. 

In conclusion don’t blame Portman, don’t blame the Boy Scouts, blame the voters.

Some jokes and humor for you.

Hey Gang,
Some jokes and humor for you. I know you missed me badly. OK that was joke number one.

Scientist are working on mixing human DNA with rats to study diseases. This isn’t the first time rats and humans mixed, that’s how we got Congress.

Hey who's keeping score? I'm trying to figure out who has more scandals brewing Cleveland sports teams or the White House?

For those who don't live around the NE Ohio area you may not know all that is happening. Browns owner being investigated, a Browns player arrested in a sting for being with a prostitute, dope being sent to an Indians pitcher, all this makes the Cleveland Gay Games of 2014 look more normal each day.

Haslam the owner of the Browns is in BIG trouble. Cleveland is use to scandals and problems with their sports teams but before a season even starts?

The US Gov could cease all Haslam’s assets if found guilty which means the Cleveland Browns could be owned by Washington. Can things get any worse for Cleveland?

The Indians are back to their losing ways and their pitcher Chris Perez got busted for having dope delivered to his house. I think this would make an excellent ad campaign for the Indians and the DEA if they combine the two. It would read something like this:
After a brief high there is always a major let down – Cleveland Indians Baseball and remember don't do drugs.

Indians pitcher Chris Perez like the rest of the team is in a slump. When asked about his delivery he said no problem my dope arrived on time.

Even the Cavaliers got in on the act recently. Danny Green of the Spurs who was the star of the last victory once played with the Cavs. But lets not forget so did LeBron of Miami who lost big come from Cleveland, so the Cavs still had a losing horse in the race.

Washington has gathered all our phone records, online records, just say all and any kind of record they can track Americans with. But they don't care about the million or so illegals because after all they aren't suppose to be here so why track them.

And that's a wrap.

we eat our own - written on dece 19, 2012

I finally gathered some of the comments I received during the last election, these are only some, should of started saving them sooner. These words are from people I know, people I've had personal dealings with, and people who are actively involved in local politics. Their comments are an embarrassment but not so much to myself personally but to the Republican Party, the Tea Party, and to Christian Conservatives. Sure I am angry and disillusioned but the real harm is being done to our cause and our nation. How do you expect to change things for the better when we are fighting amongst ourselves? This past election has divided the Right almost to the point of beyond repair.
Before I go further read a few of these comments. Again this is just a sampling of some of the comments I received and that were posted on various blogs. Please do not read this as poor Carey it is not intended for that purpose whatsoever.
 
You have gone off the deep end and your emails make no sense, they have become an annoyance.
 
You desperately need help.
 
You are VERY confused.
 
I look for you to start your own cult.
 
Carey, you're a scum. Please get the hell out of this group.

We wonder how you could twist facts so dramatically to make your points. Wondering if you sleep well??
 
May the Lord have mercy on you, we don’t think you are this confused intentionally.
 
I feel sad for you, you are consumed/obsessed with hatred for Romney/Ryan. What a waste of time, to exude all that hatred and all that time to dig up dirt on the lesser of the evils!
 
Congratulations on your (Obama) candidate winning.
I'm so done with you I have no other choice. You vote for Obama I think your a democrat anyways
You're a real bigot.

I understand my writing style invokes passion for or against but how is this productive? I also understand my writing goes from serious, attack, to far fetched humor but it always ties in with facts, never for the sake of just bashing. To receive such nonsense after the hours of research I put into articles is a real shame. I expect this kind of trash from Democrats or liberals that have no argument.

On top of the name calling this past election I lost many contacts and friendships just for trying to get out facts. Even when I was 100% correct in my assessments and predictions and when I included links of candidates themselves speaking people still simply denied it and in the end I was the boogeyman. Most voters run on pure emotions or take as the gospel truth what the mainstream media says but someone who takes an opposing stance or a stance that makes them feel uncomfortable they can't be correct, just can't be. It has been a battle educating people.

Furthermore I have challenged people continuously and asked if I ever wrote or stood for anything other than what the Republican Party platform is for please point it out. I received nothing in reply other than please take me off your list, requests to stop posting on blogs and removal of posts. And when I was attacked only one person to my knowledge came to my defense or the defense of what I stand for. If I am feeling this much resistance and ill feedback it would be hard to campaign for or promote any of the causes the so called Tea Party and or Republican Party is fighting for, there would be no unity.  So I have many doubts right now as to my position within the Republican Party.

This harsh unintelligent criticism is causing division and only weakens and alienates passionate conservatives fighting for the truth and America. I know I am not alone. There are others who have felt this sting trying to go against the status and stand for what is just. Think about it, are we on the same team and fighting the same fight or are we? Until that question is answered there are plenty of us right now on a political sojourn searching for a home.

Life is not a popularity contest. Life is standing up for the truth and what you believe in.

Carey's upcoming decision and the Republican Party


Friends,
I suppose some of you had to question why no emails from me with all that has happened recently. Well let me tell you it's hard not to weigh in. It has been a writer and news reporter dream with all that has transpired.

I laid low because I wanted to spend time on writing a book that I've started and I've been doing a lot of reflecting. The reflecting is in regards to my political involvement and party affiliation.

What triggered the reflecting? As I combed through the countless emails and articles for the book I am writing I reread some of the comments and emails sent to me, it refreshed my memory. Some were down right cruel and others just baseless. Is this what the Republican/Tea Party movement turned into?

I've said this before that this has gotten to be no longer running on principles or platform but electing Republicans at any cost which I no longer adhere to this thinking. I want more than just seeing Republicans win.

Furthermore about a month back I wrote an article titled Platform or Party asking for YOUR opinion but very few responded. Those who did reply, besides one, aren't even with the Republican Party or have resigned. It was this lack of feedback that has pushed me to into making an important personal/political decision which will be revealed very shortly. Won't say what but it will change my course and possibly close doors on current friendship and open doors to new ones.

The bottom line is this - I no longer feel part of team GOP. This should wake up Republicans to the fact that I am not alone with these feelings. The way I see it is the party is disjointed with in fighting and no direction. The Republicans were so enamored with winning elections and the voters were so completely zeroed in on beating Obama at any cost that in doing so neither group came out ahead and also compromised their beliefs and morals while alienating true patriots and Conservatives. And I am one of those.

Carey Masci

Part 2
Senator Rob Potman of Ohio has revealed he smoked pot. He believes in same sex marriage and is also starting to believe in global warming because he's in a lot of hot water with Conservative voters.

Years ago I wrote this.
Subliminal warfare contacts your mind.
Unknowingly surrounds you and makes you blind

An example of what I mean. The below paragraph was written by the Ohio Republican Chairman Bob Bennet when Portman came out in favor of same sex marriage. This statement showcases the mind games played on voters and the refusal to stand up for the party platform.
Senator Portman's Announcement to Stand With Family
Ohio has the best Senator in the United States, Rob Portman. He is a great leader for our state and will continue to be a strong leader for our Party. He and his wife Jane are also m y friends. I am proud of them for standing together with their family - it is exactly the kind of character I would expect from him.
First of all this reminds me of a few elections back when the hot ticket to success was riding the wave of the Tea Party movement. Quite a few RINO/establishment candidates had on their campaign lit a tea cup with the wording Tea Party Values making one think the candidate is with the Tea Party.
Bennet making the statement STAND WITH FAMILY tricks the mind into thinking of family values which is supposedly one of the stances of the GOP.

Furthermore how committed is Portman to not only his constituents but also his beliefs? If his son came out and said Dad I use drugs. Would Portman then be in favor of legalizing drugs? If his son said Dad I want to marry 2 wife’s. Would Portman be in favor of polygamy?
When ever I strayed from my moral upbringing my parents never once accepted my behavior. They stood firm until I came around. Like wise Portman's son needs help not daddy saying he accepts his sons homosexuality. You can't have a family with same sex couples - period.
Nice spin by Bennet.

IF Republicans would of acted like Republicans would we be in this mess? I don't think so. Obama is just piling on and on what the Republicans could of stopped but didn't. Then again we wouldn't of had Obama if the Republicans would of given us a real choice.
