GOP Va. Rep. resigns after TAPE OF GAY SEX phone call released

[rawstory]

Exclusive from The Raw Story, http://rawstory.com

By John Byrne | Raw Story Editor

EXCLUSIVE: GOP Republican was ranked 2nd most conservative in Congress by the conservative standard-bearer the National Journal

Rep. Ed Schrock, a two-term Republican congressman from Virginia, announced that he would resign abruptly today, citing unspecified allegations.

Schrock said only: “In recent weeks, allegations have surfaced that have called into question my ability to represent the citizens of Virginia’s Second Congressional Distict.” He would not elaborate on the allegations.

Over the past two weeks, a Washington-based Web site has spread claims that Schrock was gay, and the Virginia Pilot noted this in their article but failed to elaborate. That site claims that gay activists are in posession of tapes of several phone calls to gay phone sex lines.

A ranking member of a popular liberal blog site, Daily Kos, has said that he has heard one of the tapes. The tape is now available on the Internet, at BlogActive.

Raw Story’s transcript of the tape is as follows.

“Uh, hi, I weigh 200 pounds, I’m 6′4″ (inaudible) blond hair….very muscular, very buffed up, uh, very tanned, uh, I just like to get together a guy from time to time, just to, just to play. I’d like him to be very good shape, flat stomach, good chest, good arms, cut, just get naked, play, and see what happens, nothing real heavy duty, but just, fun time, go down on him, he can go down on me, and just take it from there… hope to hear from you. Bye.”

He reps South Hampton Roads, just on the other side of the Chesapeake Bay from me.

I'm loving it.

Been here since '98

I love this place, despite all the repugs

[JohnKleeb]

61. Langley? I didnt know you were that close

Cool deal.

[carolinayellowdog]

32. Tidewater boy here-- from Chesapeake

but my first apt. was in Portsmouth-- Westhaven. And the first house I ever bought was in Park View. Also lived in Old Towne for a while. Glad to know you're from the area (which I visit regularly but wouldn't want to live in-- traffic has gotten as obnoxious as, well, Atlanta.)

BTW good riddance to bad rubbish.

[DemBones DemBones]

34. Ha, the Navy kept trying to make me a Tidewater Girl, too, CW.

My dad was stationed in Norfolk first, then Portsmouth, then Little Creek (Va. Beach).
Counting back. . . my 2nd, 5th, and 17th schools were in the Tidewater area.

I do miss being near the ocean. . .

[Placebo]

6. I wonder how many RNC delegates are closet pole smokers...

I don't know the specifics, but I can assure you all the male hustlers and boy toys and escorts in NYC are miiiiiiiiiiighty busy this week! :)

[MrScorpio]

7. Why can't they be true to who they are?

We won't hate them for being gay.

We only hate them for being fucking hypocrites

[Placebo]

8. Agreed.

[Tight_rope]

36. You are so right...it's their fellow Republicans that hate them...not us!

[lastknowngood]

9. What is this a joke or what

n/t

[rawstory]

12. Look at the Kos story...

I trust Kos, and he did resign, and the Reuters/AP articles are mentioning gay allegations.

[rawstory]

15. Actually, it's the Virginia Pilot that mentions the gay allegations

and check out http://blogactive.com

[wicket]

11. Oh this is beautiful

[eleny]

13. Here's his bio

http://schrock.house.gov/Biography/

He's got a wife and a son and he's active in his Baptist church.

Hypocrite!

[rawstory]

18. It really makes this sad, though, I think.

When the family card comes into play you can't help but cringe.

[LiberalFighter]

51. Gee... will his wife and church stand by him?

[TeeYiYi]

81. Will he still git ta go ta heaven? . . .

. . . that's the question.

TYY

[Dob Bole]

19. So...who's running against him?

Is the opposing candidate going to run unopposed now?

[cmayer]

85. David Ashe is a serious candidate

After 2000 redistricting, it's a very tough district for Democrats. Ashe is in the right place at the right time. He has a law degree and just retired as a USMC officer just back from Iraq. His campaign needs money. Max Cleland did a fundraiser for him a few weeks ago, but his overall intake is limited due to the demographics of the district. I donated to his campaign and will make another contribution now.

http://www.davidasheforcongress.com/index.php

The R's will nominate a credible replacement, but if Ashe is supported this is one we'll get that was unexpected.

I had a long conversation with him about 6 weeks ago and was very impressed.

[powergirl]

20. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT REPUBLICANS COULD BE GAY???

HA! What a jerk. He should not have passed all of those "family values" laws. Do you think he is New York right now at the convention?

Thank you for posting this. I cannot watch the Repub convention - it makes me gag. This was a great way to get my daily dose of politics.

[drdigi420]

21. too fucking funny

i love it when a hypocrite is drug out from under the rock into the light of day!

[Dob Bole]

22. This is rich! It's Pat Robertson's Congressman!!!

"Congressman Schrock's district includes parts of Hampton and Norfolk and all of Virginia Beach, home to no less than NINE military facilities and Pat Robertson’s Regent University! "

Now who is running for this House seat?

[LiberalFighter]

52. How much did Robertson contribute to HIS campaign?

[powergirl]

24. YIKES - I'LL BET YOU THAT PAT ROBERTSON WILL RUN FOR THE SEAT

He probably thinks it is a sign from above that he should enter the race to save the world. Ugh. What do ya'll think?

[belle]

46. Nah. He's old. And I doubt they'd want him. But hey, who knows.

[oasis]

48. Pat Robertson is making too much money fleecing the sheeple. No pay cut

for that preacher man.

[rawstory]

25. Correction: He consponsored the Federal Marriage Amendment

Which was more restrictive than DOMA -- the constitutional amendment banning gay marriage: http://www.dontamend.com/Amendment.htm?sid=39744

[Tight_rope]

38. He didn't want to get married."Just wanted to play" with a "Well Hung" man

Fucking hypocrite!

[Toucano]

59. "Nothin' real heavy duty"

Marriage and procreation must be his "duty". Spare us, please! LOL!

I can only laugh at this
A ranking member of a popular liberal blog site, Daily Kos, has said that he has heard one of the tapes. The alleged tape one of Schrock’s calls is now available on the Internet, at BlogActive.

“Uh, hi, I weigh 200 pounds, I’m 6′4″ (inaudible) blond hair….very muscular, very buffed up, uh, very tanned, uh, I just like to get together a guy from time to time, just to, just to play. I’d like him to be in very good shape, flat stomach, good chest, good arms, well hung, cut, uh, just get naked, play, and see what happens, nothing real heavy duty, but just, fun time, go down on him, he can go down on me, and just take it from there… hope to hear from you. Bye.”

“I’ve actually heard part of one tape, played to me over the phone by a “friend in high places” in DC,” the member said. “The tip-off was probably when he said, ‘You must be very discreet. I cannot overemphasize that,’ whi

[eleny]

27. Who is the Dem running against him? Anyone running?

I've searched Google and can't find out. Any help would be great. I'd like to donate to their campaign.

[rawstory]

28. Look at the thread in LBN

Someone named Ashe.

[VTMechEngr]

43. I live In Virginia Beach

This may be the first time I don't get "i'm so sorry" when I say that, but anyway-

Davis Ashe is running on the Democratic ticket. Having met him, I feel he is a great candidate.

[Democat]

29. Fucking hypocrite

Another right wing liar exposed.

Good timing - this will be a funny story for one night of the convention.

[rawstory]

30. Story now running in THE ADVOCATE

finally, something goes national!!!

Va. congressman to retire over "allegations"

Just two months before he was expected easily to win a third term in the House of Representatives, Republican congressman Ed Schrock of Virginia Beach called off his reelection bid because of unspecified "allegations."

"In recent weeks, allegations have surfaced that have called into question my ability to represent the citizens of Virginia's Second Congressional District," said Schrock in a written statement. "After much thought and prayer, I have come to the realization that these allegations will not allow my campaign to focus on the real issues facing our nation and region. Therefore, as of today, I am stepping aside and will no longer be the Republican nominee for Congress in Virginia's Second Congressional District."

Schrock's statement did not address the subject of the "allegations" against him, and none has been reported in the mainstream media. Indeed, the Associated Press story on his announcement fails to mention what the "allegations" might be.

But Schrock's announcement comes shortly after the launch of an online "outing" campaign, in which the authors of various blogs have reported that Schrock had posted voicemail messages on commercial telephone services soliciting other men for sex.

The most persistent allegations have come from blogactive.com, which now has posted an audio file that the blog alleges is one of Schrock's voice-mail solicitations. "I just like to get together with a guy from time to time just to play," says the voice on the recording, which goes on to suggest specific gay sex acts.

31. Well, well, well.... n/t

[Tight_rope]

33. "HE JUST WANTS TO PLAY"....but you better be "WELL HUNG"!

Well, I certainly know what that means. I'm not gay, but I have many gays friends, been to the gay clubs hundreds of times and I've seen it all. They all say "they just want to play" and they like them to be "well hung"!

[Catherine Vincent]

37. I like 'em well hung too.

:9 :7 :evilgrin: :smoke:

[Tight_rope]

39. Hey cat_girl..Did you hear about the 10 yr old boy who shoot his dad here!

[BiggJawn]

40. Eddie Schrock crazy 'bout a Well-Hung Man...

[rawstory]

41. should I know who these people are?

[BiggJawn]

53. You must be.

That's ZZ Top, a "Texas Boogie" band that was big in the 80's when your 'rents were still in High School...

they had a hit called "Sharp-Dressed Man" with the chorus "Every Girl crazy 'bout a Sharp-Dressed Man..."

Ah, hell, if you didn't get it, it wasn't worth explaining. Lame attempt at a sight gag....
Sorry...

[Toucano]

60. It worked for me!

Very clever.

[WoodrowFan]

66. and they're in NYC now

performing for the RNC. Too bad, best little 3 man band from Texas ever...

[BiggJawn]

Co-incidence, I SWEAR!

[Julian English]

49. It's all over the mainstream press now

http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&ie=UTF-8&q=schrock+gay+virginia

[rullery]

50. Schrock has to resign because of his hypocracy,

Not because of his sexual orientation. Years ago Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) came out of the closet and disclosed that he is gay. The people of his district continue to re-elect him, because he is a fine congressman. It was Barney by-the-way, who suggested that we could substitute "Cheney" for the fu*k word from now on, after the Vice President told Sen. Pat Leahy to "Go fu*k yourself!"

[arwalden]

54. Any Tapes Of Falwell Or Robertson?

[Tight_rope]

55. They should work on that.....They can only hide for so long!

[arwalden]

57. Or Lindsey Graham, or Ralph Reed?

[Toucano]

62. Graham is the most amazing!

He's such a girl! The girl from "The Bad Seed" LOL!

[arwalden]

64. OMG... Rhoda Was Such A HOOT!!! --- The similarities

are strikingly creepy!

-- Allen

[Toucano]

71. "Please, Sen. Graham...

for the love of God! Don't take off your shoe! Nooo! Ahhhh!"

[arwalden]

65. Here She Is... All Grown Up

http://www.aveleyman.com/ActorsM/P00011502.HTML

[Zynx]

67. I bet they are womanizers.

Just a hunch.

[arwalden]

58. SURPRISE! Surprise! His Self-Description Doesn't Match His Actual Photo!

Naughty Boys Need Love Sex Too

-- Allen <-- 6'2" buff body, clean-cut, 30 years old, "bi-curious", swimmer's build, daily workouts, 14" uncut and thick, shaved, HIV-, discreet, rich.

[WI_DEM]

63. another hypocrite

[mimitabby]

69. gross!!

after reading his description, the photo is a real disappointment!!

[arwalden]

70. Rules Of Thumb For Translating Online Descriptions

Age: add 10 years
Income: divide by 2
Height: subtract 4 inches
Weight: add 40 pounds
Cock Size: divide by 2.

Follow these simple rules and you'll never be disappointed.

[mimitabby]

76. divide by 2!! lol

[Virginian]

78. Interpretations, please

14" uncut does not mean his hair on his head or otherwise, right?

The word "shaved", does that mean his face?

[Tarheelhombre]

68. Any hints about who is next?

[rawstory]

74. Ed Koch for one

But I guess that's old news. He says another congressman and some bush admin people.

How about KARL ROVE? that would be great.

[Princess Turandot]

84. He's irrelevent..at this point, NY'ers see him as doing Catskill Hotel ..

routines, plus almost everyone knows he is gay.

[LuminousX]

73. Self Loathing Gays

This is sad. Schrock should realize that we should be building a country where he doesn't have to worry about being ostracized for his sexual preference because his preference involves consenting adults. Schrock did nothing wrong. Having a sexual preference is not wrong.

Hopefully he will realize that he isn't wrong for his preference and work to help make others realize that we can't build a strong society by judging people based on their sexual preferences.

[TheSuaveOne]

79. My problem is...

...the guy being outed, that is his personal information, no matter what side of the aisle you are on. People outing others for what ever reason really suck...la

[LuminousX]

83. I fully agree

and I was attempting to show sympathy for the guy. Sexual preference doesn't matter.

[Princess Turandot]

82. FYI I heard this reported on CNN about 30 minutes ago..

by Judy Judy Judy..she specifically mentioned the sex line :)
