Traitor! Beau Breedlove wants to Recall Sam Adams


This guy makes me sick!

He built his 'porn' career based on his sexual experiences with the mayor and basically threw Sam under the bus for a chance to pose nude in a failed mag.

Now, he wants to have Sam recalled:
Among the pro-recall group was Beau Breedlove, the former legislative intern whose relationship with Adams in 2005 sparked the scandal. Adams denied the relationship when rumors surfaced in 2007, while he was running for mayor.

Breedlove, who is volunteering with the recall campaign, said in an interview after the rally that other gays and lesbians have chastised him for backing the recall of the city's first openly gay mayor.

Breedlove said that's precisely why Adams should step down.
"He should hold himself to a much higher standard than any other politician, because he's not just representing the city of Portland," he said. "He's representing the GLBTQ community in a new way they haven't been represented before."
Beau, you pretty much owe Sam Adams for your piece of sh** career. You should have took a stand before you flashed your ass in a porn mag or judge a penis contest.

Plus, Beau was proven to be a liar when Sam was cleared, so why would anyone take Beau seriously.

"This" could have Cost you your Job, Sam Adams!


Poor innocent Beau Breedlove makes his magazine debut for Unzipped. This is the guy, who I still believe, put Sam Adams in hot water for his benefit.

It's a shame what we will do for fame.

Question of the Day: Did Beau Breedlove set this whole thing Up?


The whole Sam Adams thing is boiling over. And it's only a matter of time before he's truly out on a limb. (check out my earlier post)

But the news of his boy toy isn't making matters good at all. Beau Breedlove is set to take it all off in Unzipped magazine. Unzipped is basically a porn magazine: nothing more, nothing less.

But I have to wonder...With the timing of this scandal and now, Beau's bridge to porn/naked/attention stardom...Did he set this thing up to get him in the media's eye?

It's too fishy. Starting from the gate: The info is leaked about their affair, Sam's in the news, then Beau is set up for interviews, and now he's in L.A. flashing his cock for the camera? Seems too planned to be consequence.

This could be a just me thinking too hard at work, but something's not right. Sam is going through a lot and Beau is just kool-aiding with this odd source of fame. A little selfish, Beau...just a little.

Just when you thought it was Safe for Sam Adams...


Folks are not feeling Sammy. In fact they have launched a site geared to removing Sam Adams as Mayor. Basically, they want to recall him.

The site is called www.recallsamadams.com. This is from their webpage:

Why do you feel Sam Adams should be recalled?

Sam Adams should be recalled for deliberately lying to the public, orchestrating an elaborate cover-up in which he subverted the 2008 mayoral election and abusing the power that the people entrusted to him. The people of Portland and surrounding communities are the unwilling victims who are paying for his deception and betrayal.

What are your political ideologies?

We feel that our views are in line with what some have labeled as American Progressivism. Historically it was the Progressive movement in the early 1900's that made recalls of elected officials possible.

Our volunteer base is comprised of individuals who subscribe to just about every political ideology with the common belief that Sam Adams actions warrant him unfit for office.

What are your views about homosexuality?

Every citizen has the right to the pursuit of happiness and it is the job of government to protect individual liberties. Deliberately lying, masterminding cover-ups and abusing power are traits of a corrupt politician and has nothing to do with sexual orientation.

We feel that Sam Adams has exploited and done a great disservice to the LGBT community. Our recall effort is dedicated to educating the public that any citizen with integrity, honesty and ideas can be leaders.

The goal of this group is gain 2,000 volunteers and collect 50,000 signatures. If they get more than 31,000 signatures, Sammy will be removed. I knew something was happening, it was quiet way too long in Oregon.

Interesting Quote: Sam Adams



I was forty-[two], however many years older than he was. And an elected official. I think the difference in age and the fact that I was an elected official made it inappropriate.... [E]lected officials are held to higher standards, and I know that. I can say, at the time, I was very flattered by the attention.

I’d recently ended my 11-year relationship. I was dating again. I didn’t think it through....
When a straight person screws up, and there have been a number of straight political figures who have, I don’t think that paints a brush on all straight politicians. I think that American’s are smart enough to know that we’re all unique. We’re all individuals.

Today on Sammy the Gay Mayor...


And it keeps getting messy and messy...A longtime friend of Beau Breedlove (maybe not anymore), told KATU News on condition of anonymity, that he and Sammy was doin' it, doin' it, and doin' it well when he was 17.

"He didn't say who, or his name, but said he was having sexual encounters with this person," the friend said. "I just didn't think too much of it at the time," he said. "It's not the first guy who he had sex with that was older than 18. He liked it, obviously. Maybe he just didn't know that this guy was going to become the mayor of Portland."

Interesting, I wonder else is going to come out. Now, we can say this is nothing but rumors. However, it's not cute to be reminded of this mess almost every other day. I feel that Sammy's actions is about kickoff something big and bad for us.

Damn Sammy! Please tell the truth! If you did this, just say it. You are almost doing more harm than good. If this turns out to be true, you are done.

I hope this is a rumor, but I have to say I'm losing faith in Sammy Jo.

Sam Adams' Chief Spokesman Leaves Job


Sam Adams's spokesperson has quit. Wade Nkrumah, Adams' director of communications, did not say why he quit, but said it was a voluntary decision.

I wonder if the issue of lying to the public hit him in the gut. This very unfortunate because this could start a trend. Although Adams has decided to stay in office, the scandal is increasing scaring staffers and some supporters.

It will be interesting to see who stays and who goes.

Sammy's staying


Portland's sex scandal mayor, Sam Adams has decided to stay put in his role as mayor. Perhaps the rally fueled his spirit after 100s showed up to support him.

Randy Leonard, the city commissioner, said that Sammy left a phone message on Sunday saying he will stay in office.

Good for you, Sammy, however be aware...This will not be easy. With more GOP drama growing and Breedlove giving interviews to any and everyone, this can be a bad move. The media will not be kind and I'm afraid, Sammy's good works will diminished within a month.

Stay strong, Sammy because Katrina-like storm is coming.

Breedlove's Tale


Beau Breedlove is the other man in this Days of Our Lives gay drama. He finally talks about what happened with his former lover-ish, Sam Adams.

He said that Adams kissed him twice when he was 17 and they had "crossed the line" toward romance earlier than Adams has mentioned. Which is not so good for Adams.

Beau went into detail about their 'moments', saying they kissed on the lips on two occasions, once in a car and the other in the men's room in City Hall after a party.

Now, they didn't have sexual stuff until he was 18, and Beau welcomed the relationship. So in some ways, he knew what he wanted. I mentioned before if I had any chance with my older crushes, I would've done it. Hell, at 14 and had relations with a 19 year old. So I could understand Beau's point of view.

Still Adams should have known better. Here's more from Beau:

Breedlove on Saturday said the two met at the state Capitol while he was an intern at the Legislature and Adams, then a city commissioner, was meeting with lawmakers. He said they exchanged numbers and Adams eventually invited him to lunch in Portland.

They ate at Macaroni Grill in downtown Portland in May 2005. Breedlove says Adams asked him how old he was, and Breedlove told him 17.

Adams was surprised. "I don't date people that young," Adams says he told him. Adams has said that once he learned Breedlove's age, he told Breedlove that he wouldn't get romantically involved.

Breedlove, however, says that after the lunch, Adams offered to drive him to Union Station so he could catch a train back to Salem. He says that while stopped at a red light, Adams leaned over and kissed him.

"I saw it as a friendship that had crossed the line a couple of times, but I saw it as a friendship," Breedlove said. "When I say cross the line, I don't mean as an unwarranted or unwanted affection. I just didn't see it as something with any potential. ... I saw it as that was the line that we had crossed a couple of times, was 'friends' to 'friends with benefits.' "

"Friends with benefits" is usually slang for friends who engage in sex. Breedlove reiterated that the sexual part of their relationship didn't begin until after he turned 18.

Breedlove celebrated his 18th birthday on June 25, 2005, at his parents' house in Salem. He invited Adams, who arrived with a friend.

Breedlove says he and Adams agreed to have Breedlove come to Portland for the night two weeks after his birthday. He said they went out to dinner and spent the night at Adams' home on July 9, 2005. Breedlove said he planned to leave the next day, but his plans changed and he remained in Portland. He stayed at Adams' house a second night. Breedlove says their only sexual encounters took place that weekend.

Within Days...


That's what a spokesman for Sam Adams said to the press about whether he will resign or not. The fallen mayor is realizing how paramount this issue is.

The gay community is split about his decision and wonders what will happen next. Stay strong my Portland LGBT community. I hope this will pass smoothly.

LGBT Community of Portland speaks about the Mayor & Minor scandal

Lordy, Lord Sam. Since he came clean about his affair with the young boy, Portland's LGBT community feels betrayed. I knew there would be some drama, you can't keep everything hidden forever...and unfortunately, something like this.

OPB News and Queerty shared bitter feelings from the LGBT community:

Kimberlee Van Patten said, "Here we are standing on the mountaintop, with our black president and our gay mayor, we were going to get this done, you know? And now I just feel like we've totally been let down."

"We spend our whole lives trying to convince everyone that we're OK, that we're not broken or wrong. And -- I don't care who he slept with -- but he lied! That's the part I can't get past. He got elected under false pretenses, 'cause we didn't know the truth, and now we have to deal with it."

Ryan Schultz "He was trying to break down that stereotype, but in fact he's building it up by lying about it."

Many people in the room said they were upset by Adams' judgment, both in getting involved in with someone so close to the age of consent, and in lying about it.

Many also said they needed more details before they could make up their minds. But some in the room said they were aware of the moral weight Adams carries, as the first openly-gay mayor of a large metropolitan area.

Here's Sammy's press conference, (thanks Queerty)

Mayor Adams meets with Oregonian editorial board part 2



Sammy said he will not resign, but he will try to right the wrongs. But I think it's too late. The timing of this couldn't be worst. With the country's love/hate reationship with us, we need to show that we are responsible and sensible. I understand the age thing and get that these things happen. Hell, I'm sure at 15, if my hot PE teacher ask me for sex, I would've done it. However in an important role such as mayor, he should've taken the high road.

A gay person in power is always watched and judged. You have to be at your best and on top of your game. What Sam did will be a weapon used against us and I wouldn't be surprised if American Family Association or any other anti-gay groups start attacking Portland. Thanks Sam, you have cracked the dam with this one.

Portland's Mayor admits to having sex with a Minor



This is pure mess. We don't need this right now, Sam, you silly twit.

Sam Adams, who is openly gay, acknowledged the relationship in a statement Monday, after the Willamette Week newspaper broke the story on its Web site.

Adams, 45, said he and the teen were together in the summer of 2005, shortly after the teenager turned 18 in June, and when Adams was a city commissioner. The revelations come nearly a year and a half after Adams and the teen said rumors of a sexual relationship between them were false.

Despite the rumors, Adams coasted to victory in his race, making Portland the largest U.S. city to ever elect an openly gay mayor. He was sworn in Jan. 1.

Sam...get it together. This can cost you a lot, as well as trust in your leadership. I can't believe he made that boy lie and then lied to everybody else.

Sam, if you had to do that much lying, then you knew it wasn't the best thing to do. Now I can imagine GOP/christian crazies running mad with this news. And I'm sure things can be twisted into some weird Daddy issue-type thing. I tell you, Obama gets in and the Dems go crazy.

Here is his apology

I want to publicly acknowledge a mistake I have made and I want to apologize for it.

In the past, I have characterized my relationship with Beau Breedlove as purely non-sexual. That is not true. Beau Breedlove and I had a sexual relationship for a few months in the summer of 2005 after he turned 18 years of age.

I should have been honest at the time about the true nature of my relationship with Beau Breedlove when questions about my relationship with him first surfaced publicly in October 2007. In fact, Beau encouraged me to be honest about the facts of our relationship. I am deeply sorry that I asked him to lie for me.

I lied at the time because I was afraid that people would believe untrue rumors, being circulated by an undeclared mayoral opponent, that I had broken a law involving sexual relations with a minor. But this is not a good excuse.

Until today, with the exception of Beau, I have not discussed with anyone the true nature of my relationship with him: not with my colleagues, staff, friends or family.

I apologize to Beau for asking him to lie for me. I apologize to my colleagues for my poor handling of this matter. I apologize to the people of Portland for my dishonesty. I should have been truthful from the beginning.

Mayor Sam Adams
