In a campaign stump speech taped at the East Valley Republican Liberty Group on September 28, 2012, MCRC candidate A.J. LaFaro told the small crowd that Rob Haney and “some other Republican leadership” came to him and asked him to consider running for chairman. Code words for Tom Morrissey.
LaFaro’s introduction elicited a quiet drone when he told
the handful of attendees that all of the different types of Republicans must
work together. The tea party people, Ron
Paul supporters, elitists, moderates, etc. Everyone except the gays.
Just two minutes later, LaFaro preaches to the choir while
selling his brand of straight-up constitutional conservatism. He says he’s passionate about fiscal
conservatism but that he’s socially conservative too.
LaFaro is anti-abortion at “every level” and said, “I don’t
believe in gay, lesbian, bisexual or trans-genders (sic)”.
LaFaro doesn’t believe in gays?
They are real, A.J. Witnesses have seen them. At the HQ of the AZGOP. Like, the other day. They’re in a bunch of AZGOP pictures too. Young ones and old ones. Maybe Russell Pearce has a round-up scheduled & you can ride-along. Pack some heat. They’re very dangerous and may run for the border if confronted.
Tempe voters and news junkies already know that LaFaro doesn’t
like gays. He formed an unsuccessful
committee to recall then Tempe mayor, Neil Giuliano, in 2001 following Giuliano’semotional protest of the Boy Scouts of America’s ban on gay scouts and leaders. Gay men and scouts have quietly been a
part of the BSA since its inception. To
believe otherwise is to be both delusional and ignorant.
In 2001, the Phoenix New Times interviewed LaFaro about his
recall committee. The PNT reported:
A.J. LaFaro, chairperson of Citizens to Recall Neil Giuliano, says the Boy Scout debacle was "the straw that broke the camel's back," but that the recall movement is not about the fact that Giuliano is gay.”
Sure A.J. Why is
gay-bashing necessary in a campaign speech for a GOP leadership position? It should be an automatic disqualifier. The fact that LaFaro did not have the self-control
to shut his mouth is enough reason to keep him as a Tempe community
activist.
LaFaro also got a dig in on birth control.
He doesn’t believe “we” should pay for the “birth pill” or
morning-after pill. He failed to mention
his position on Viagra, Cialis, Levitra and penile implant devices or his
opinion on payment for men with “Low T”.
Medicare is, after all, an entitlement program. See medicare.gov for more information.
We cannot afford another publicly misogynistic, gay-bashing, human
liability leading the MCRC.
Our children and grandchildren will never be a part of the GOP with guys like LaFaro leading the way. Hide your kids, hide your wife.
