An open letter to Arriana Huffington.

I wil not subscribe to your site because you have turned it into a money pit for AoL, which is quite right wing. However, I am sure that you have some interns lurking here, chained to their cubicle for non existent pay.

As I have said to many, I never had problems with putting pressure on President Obama. Even the best Democrats, from LBJ to even Slick Willie Clinton, needed a left that placed pressure, so that they could turn to the mushy, whiny "moderates" and say "see, I have to do this." However, let's face facts Arianna, when you have "guest columnists" on like Mark Penn, or Lynn Evelyn de Rothschild, or others who make no bones about wanting to see Obama lose the election, you get to hide behind LGBT concerns, like the good Log Cabin Republican you were before the GOP threw you out the door.

Well, now it is time tpo put up or shut up. Yes, as our colunist Pab Subgenius pointed out, he did not close the infamous "states right" door, ironically the same one that some LGBT activists were hoping to use to get in Same-sex Marriage. Granted, we both know states rights is but a codeword for Dixie to remain it's evil self. However, while it took a long time for him to jump, he did not wait until the election: we know Bill Clinton is off somewhere going "he needed to wait until November, like -->I<--- did." And of course, you know if he loses this election, Fox news and it's allies will keep repeating "Those Gays cost him the election those gays cost him the election, supporting gays is political suicide!", until it becomes more widely believed than 2 plus 2 =4.

If you really claim to be the champion of gays, you have a vested interest in Obama beatung Romney, it is that simple. If you continue to work to get Obama out, then you, yes you, will be responsible when Mitt Romney uses his chance to salt the fields for all our rights, forever.
