There’s A John Kasich Gay Smear, Too?

MORE INSANITY FROM AMERICA’S BIZARRO ELECTION…

First it was Marco Rubio … now it’s John Kasich.

Conservative internet websites are ablaze with rumors that the Ohio governor – a devout, married evangelical – is really a closeted homosexual. Leading the coverage? The Political Insider, a website which played a starring role in spreading the “Rubio is gay” smear.

According to the site, “almost all of Kasich’s inner circle seems to be homosexual moderate Republicans.” The site also alleges that Kasich “lived with a gay man for years while serving in Congress.”

Hmmm … seems thin to us, but then again Kasich’s over-the-top (and costly) Christian conservatism makes him a target for such attacks.

Once a fiscal conservative stalwart, Kasich has veered wildly to the left in recent years … in fact he has emerged this year as the top choice of so-called moderate and centrist “Republican” voters. In recent months, Kasich has sought to marry his fiscal liberalism with a more “tolerant” social posture – saying he would oppose efforts to ban gay marriage, for example.

“The court has ruled … we’ll accept it,” Kasich said.
