DEM or REPUB - you guess

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Mayor Sam Adams, who has admitted lying about a sexual relationship with a teenager, said Sunday that he would not resign.
A city commissioner, Randy Leonard, told The Associated Press that Mr. Adams had left a phone message in the morning saying he had decided to remain in office.
The Oregonian’s editorial page has called for his resignation, as have three smaller Portland newspapers and the police union.
Mr. Adams is being investigated by the Oregon attorney general. The case has divided the city, including its gay and lesbian community, although Mr. Adams has found strong support to remain, including a rally Friday on his behalf at City Hall that drew more than 400 people.
Last week, Mr. Adams publicly apologized for lying about the sexual relationship he had with an 18-year-old man in 2005.
The man, Beau Breedlove, has said he did not have sex with the mayor until he was 18, even though they met when Mr. Breedlove was 17.
Mr. Breedlove, now 21, told The Oregonian on Saturday he had kissed Mr. Adams twice when he was 17 and welcomed the romantic interest. The statements contradicted Mr. Adams’s claim that he had told Mr. Breedlove he was not interested in a relationship at the time.
But Mr. Breedlove again said that he did not have sex with Mr. Adams before he was 18 and that the relationship was consensual. He also said he considered himself an adult before he turned 18.
“I do not see any relationship that I ever had with Sam as me being taken advantage of,” Mr. Breedlove told the newspaper. “I do not feel like I was ever a victim.”

I believe the Klown is on to something, I read this article along with three other articles from various new services (TV & Print) and never saw his party affiliation. I found it on a conservative web site and he is a democrat. (go figure) How soon do you think they would have mentioned his party if he were a Repub?
PS I do not care about his sexual preferences, it just goes on to prove the Klown has made an accurate observation about party affiliation and politicians in trouble.
