This is for Goth who thinks ONLY DEMOCRATS have sex scandals. Just last week he started a new thread gloating over a Democrat stepping down over a sex scandal.Lets see if this Republican resigns. Let's see if Goth even has the guts to respond to this.
"Six-term GOP Indiana state Rep. Phillip Hinkle, a noted anti gay Christian activist who forced the state to offer an "In God We Trust" license plate, has been accused of hiring a male prostitute from Craigslist's M4M section. Local newspapers have been provided with emails between Hinkle and the alleged hooker."

A conservative Christian Republican caught soliciting gay sex? That's what I expect from them at this point. It's almost too predictable!

Wow, you did a lot of digging to come up with just a politician on the local level. Unfortunately he's not nearly as high profile as:
Anthony Weiner
Eliott Spitzer
Jim McGreevy
Bill Clinton
and all the others who were national figures.
If Rep. Hinkle did this, he should resign. I hold him to the same standards I would a Democrat.
A local politician is someone on the board of commissioners. A member of the state house is not a local politician. C'mon, now.
Give it time Goth. You've dug yourself in a whole. It's only a matter of time when a US Senator or Congressman will get caught and I will be sure to post and gloat like you do.
Goth, you did NOT say one word regarding the John Ensign scandal. He was high profile and you like the hypocrite you are, said NOTHING! Where was your outrage?
No Goth, a GOP Scandal is coming. Sure,there might be a Democrat scandal along the way but eventually a Republican will get caught. Rather than admitting that ALL POLITICIANS have their share of scandals you decided to make this about political party ONLY.

Sounds like the squeaky wheel was getting the grease.
Romantico - there's a perfectly logical explanation.
Clearly Hinkle was framed....
LOL! Actually,I am surprised Goth did not come up with that. Wasn't Larry Craig and Mark Sanford also framed?
Goth, could you please point to the post(s) where you called on Vitter, Sanford, Ensign and Craig to resign? I must have missed them.
Goth go away. Really...no one likes you.
Hinkle: Working hard to break those self hating Homo stereotypes!
Boy is this story DRAMATIC!

Gibson said he had posted on Craigslist before but had never met up with someone. Knowing he was in a bedroom with a politician, Gibson said, he got cold feet.
"Yeah, I don't want to do this," Gibson said he told Hinkle.
He said Hinkle's response was: "You need to do this, because I came and got you, and I'm not taking you back until we do what we need to do."
Gibson excused himself to the bathroom. There, he called his sister Megan. She said she would come get him immediately.
When Gibson came out, he said Hinkle told him he couldn't leave. Gibson called his sister again. This time, Megan told him to put her on speakerphone.
"I started cussing him," Megan told The Star. She also threatened to call the police and the local media.
"He said, 'I'll give you whatever,'" Megan said.
But when they hung up, Kameryn Gibson said Hinkle grabbed him by the right arm, just below the shoulder. Gibson said it was then that Hinkle grabbed him in the rear, dropped his towel and sat down on the bed -- naked.
When Megan Gibson arrived to pick up her brother, she again threatened to call police and the local media.
Kameryn and Megan Gibson said Hinkle then offered his iPad, a BlackBerry and $100 in cash.
Kameryn Gibson walked past his sister and out of the room as she continued to yell at Hinkle.
"She was still going off," Kameryn Gibson said, "and I was like, 'OK, I think that's enough, I think he gets it.' "
Megan Gibson said that on the drive back, she began receiving a series of calls on the BlackBerry, including one from a woman who said she was Hinkle's wife.
"I was like, 'Your husband is gay,' " Megan said. "And then she was like, 'You have the wrong person.' "
Megan read her the email address: phinkle46 @comcast.net.
The line went silent.
"Just for a couple seconds," Megan Gibson said, "and the first thing she said was, 'Please don't call the police.' "
Phone messages left with Hinkle's wife late Thursday were not returned.
Megan Gibson said she then began receiving a series of calls from various family members -- including from Hinkle's son-in-law, demanding that his wife see proof of the emails.
Megan Gibson dropped off her brother then returned to the JW Marriott, where she showed Hinkle's daughter the emails.
Megan Gibson said on her way back, she received another call from Hinkle's wife.
"The first thing she said, she was like, 'OK, we will give you $10,000 not to say anything,' " said Megan Gibson, who said she was now becoming scared. "I was like, 'OK,' and I hung up the phone."
She soon got another call -- from the Marriott hotel. It was Hinkle. Megan Gibson told Hinkle that she had informed his wife and family that he was gay.
Megan Gibson said Hinkle's response was: "You just ruined me."
Email rendezvous entangles state Rep. Phillip Hinkle
Let's see: kidnapping, attempted rape, physical abuse, coercion...did I miss anything?
Sad. Like Larry Craig, he seems like a desperate man who's been relegated to the closet all of his life and is now learning the consequences that come with living a lie.
It's funny cuz it keeps happening.
Countdown till Goth pops up and said that it was all set up by liberals.
The escort's sister is really the star of the story. I love the part where she answers the call from the john's wife and says, "Your husband is GAY!"
Man that is some sit on the edge of your seat stuff! Poor Hinkle... This is another fine mess you got yourself into!
ETA: Hinkle his sister didn't ruin you, your lying to yourself and others is what did it sweetheart!
The most shocking part to me is that someone named their child Kameryn.
Maybe that's why his Craigslist ad was headlined "I need a sugga daddy."
One would think an Indiana state legislator would gravitate toward the ads that spell it "sugar," wouldn't one?
Craig wins the prize!
Indiana State GOP Lawmaker Calls Craigslist Encounter With Man 'A Shakedown' (but he doesn't deny any of the details) I guess the devil made him do it. Typical. A Republican not taking responsibility for their sick actions,always blaming SOMEONE ELSE!

How long before Goth defends this sicko?
Maybe Michelle Bachman's husband can help Representative Hinkle avoid getting shaken down in the future by 18-year-olds advertising for Sugga Daddies.

Sicko?
The only thing that bothers me about this guy, and others like him, is their negative impact on civil rights. The hypocrisy of that stance is their own cross to bear - but it shouldn't be bourne in a way that affects others.
Outside of that, I couldn't care less what they do sexually or otherwise, and I wish no one else did, either. I STILL don't understand the issue of the guy sending pics to another adult. So what? And why does anyone care? That's a real sickness, to me.
I think it's sick to preach against something and vote one way when you live your life in the same manner you supposedly object to.I doubt that this guy even thinks of himself as gay.I think it's a news story not just he is a politician who got caught but the hypocrisy in general.
