According to many unreliable, biased, and rumor spreading sources, Condoleezza Rice (pictured above) was the first choice to run as John McCain’s Vice Presidential running mate, but she was not chosen because she is a lesbian, but this allegation is only a rumor. Rice said she is returning to Stanford after her she is finished with her Secretary of State duties:

"Senator McCain is an extraordinary American, a really outstanding leader and obviously a great patriot. That said, I am going back to Stanford, back to California, west of the Mississippi. I very much look forward to watching this campaign and voting as a voter."

Rumors have also been circulating that Rice has a lover named Randy Bean (pictured below), who she owns a home with. Bean responded to this rumor saying:

"The rumors are complete blather, and the rumor-mongering is at its least imaginative."

"Condi and I have been friends for 25 years. We co-own an investment property in Palo Alto. We do not share a home."

"The insult to my integrity is not that I’m gay, but that I’m closeted. For the record, I’m straight. Anyone who knows me knows how strongly connected I am to my values and political beliefs. If I were gay, I’d be out, loud, and proud."

Bean, who now works for Stanford University, told Washington Post correspondent Glenn Kessler on his radio show, that she was buried in medical bills, and Rice helped her buy the home along with another acquaintance, Coit Blacker, a Stanford professor who is openly gay.

It’s not like there aren’t gay Republicans, it’s just the liberal democrats like to try to embarrass those gay Republicans that would like to remain in the closet, which is a rude violation of their personal privacy. Even if Rice turns out to be a lesbian, the rumor that McCain didn’t choose her because she is alleged to be a lesbian, is the rumor that was fabricated to make McCain look like a homo hater. McCain has on staff a man who is gay, which says it all.

I would like to have seen Colin Powell be the V.P. running mate.
