   HOUSTON – Voters are used to all kinds of rhetoric in campaigns.   
   Keith Bolden is no exception.   
      
   “You use these buzz words to try and excite,” said Bolden. “The   
   only person’s sex life you should be concerned about is the   
   person you’re having sex with.”   
      
   What Democratic voter Bolden is talking about is what was issued   
   by the re-election campaign of Harris County Republican Party   
   Chairman Jared Woodfill.   
      
   In a party news release, Dr. Steve Hotze, the president of the   
   Conservative Republicans of Texas said:   
      
   “Our Founding Fathers would be furious to find out that the   
   Constitution was being interpreted to allow sodomites to marry.”   
      
   This statement came after a judge’s ruling this week that   
   overturned the Texas ban on same-sex marriage.   
      
   “I don’t know how I could be any clearer,” said Hotze. “This   
   whole issue is about judicial liberal activism that is trying to   
   redefine marriage.”   
      
   Woodfill wouldn’t talk specifically about Hotze’s choice of   
   words but answered like this.   
      
   “The terminology I want attached is this judge has been a   
   liberal activist and he has violated the law of this state.”   
      
   KHOU political analyst Bob Stein says the word used was supposed   
   to get attention and that was accomplished.   
      
   “The best way to do that is to get a loud vocal voice,” said   
   Stein. “The fact that you’re covering this story is a lot of   
   free media for Jared Woodfill.”   
      
   Woodfill’s opponent Paul Simpson sent KHOU 11 News a statement   
   saying in part:   
      
   “We who stand for traditional marriage need to articulate our   
   principles in a reasoned way to convince our fellow citizens to   
   agree with us. That requires always showing common courtesy and   
   practicing charity toward everyone, even those we disagree with.”
