A few weeks ago, I came across some news that blew my mind. A Cuban-American woman who used to be a man is running for Congress in South Florida as a Tea Party Republican. Her name is Donna Milo. She used to be called Ed before surgery in 2000 to become a full-fledged lady. If she wins the primary, Milo will likely face the Democratic incumbent — and female from the beginning — Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Now Milo, who was married to a woman and had two children before her sex change, is off the chain. She is against gay marriage, and she's talking ->-bleeped-<- about President Obama. She even recently told the Sun-Sentinel that the president and the Democratic majority in Congress are turning the United States into Fidel Castro's Cuba. She also told the newspaper that she represents a "restoration to common-sense American conservative values." Of course, she is against the recent overhaul in health care. According to her website, Milo describes it as "de facto socialism." I can't believe this.
Does every politician have to tow the party line? Even when it so contrary to who you are as a person?
And I thought she was supposed to be the "label-free" candidate.
