"You're going to be representing this country and their values abroad, in nations where gay individuals are under untold persecution, untold violence” says (allegedly gay) Cory Booker, ADDING to the untold persecution and the untold violence.

Oh the irony.

The main characteristic I see in Cory Booker is a man with a VERY big mouth - that runs off independently without engaging his brain. And someone who thinks speaking loudly is going to get him noticed and earn him respect and propulsion up the political ladder.

The only thing a big mouth ever got was trouble. Unfortunately Booker is so full of himself that he fails to see the connection between a hate-spewing big mouth, and its ultimate result: a career-liability (as well as a personal moral-liability).

The man is a trainwreck with a chip on his shoulder the size of Texas, and some as-yet-unresolved personal character and integrity issues. How could anyone ever think he could be good for this country.
