Someone needs to torch this gay log cabin, and quick!
Edited on Tue Oct-10-06 03:52 AM by cboy4
(I'm speaking figuratively for those who think I'm actually advocating arson!)
====================================================================

Oct. 9 MSNBC

"We sat down with Patrick Sammon, the executive vice president of Log Cabin, a group of more than 20,000 gay Republicans. On the table were the issues of Foley fallout, and coming out as gay in conservative politics."

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/15198066 (More questions)

Oh boy, here we go again . . .


<snip>

Isn’t it an oxymoron to be a gay Republican?

Sammon: "The fact is that one in four gay and lesbian people are Republicans because they believe in limited government, personal responsibility and strong defense and they serve with distinction."


BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
"....serve with distinction?" :rofl:

OK, lets just for argument's sake say that the Democrats are opposed to limited government, personal responsibility and strong defense (and the Dems favor all) . . . these Log Cabin imbeciles still choose to alignment with a political party that is hostile toward gay people over any shred of dignity and self respect!

How can one vote for a party that is trying to suppress your civil rights....gleefully destroying your future as a hard working, law abiding citizen while doing so? It's crazy!

OF COURSE IT'S AN OXYMORAN TO BE A GAY REPUBLICAN!

99.999999 percent of Earth knows that!!

And the witch hunt is already well under way to weed out the remaining gay Republicans on Capitol Hill.

These Log Cabin nuts better brace themselves for one hundred times the amount of hostility, if the Foley fiasco costs the GOP control of congress next month!!

Republicans will be on E-Bay ordering Fred Phelps souvenir hate merchandise by the plane load.

:rant:

9. I'm sure they'll be serving
with a great deal of distinction after the witch hunts are over and they end up at the unemployment office. If the GOP wants to do some house cleaning to save face with their fundie base after Folegate, they'll oust any gay/lesbian repug they can find...most we probably won't ever hear about. And when they do, the gay repugs will be lavender-coded...a very distinct shade of lavender that is, with a deep purple boot out the door.

2. Its Only Greed That Keeps Them There, If You Think About It
The really makes no sense. I'd like to see the average annual salary of the LCRs.

3. $$$
I'd like to see the average annual salary of the LCRs.
I don't have exact figures, but I am certain the Uncle Tom's Log Cabinites consist solely of all those "affluent, better-educated" gay men one hears so much about... but seldom sees.

(I can count on one hand the number of rich, powerful gay men I've met.)

4. How can they serve with distinction when...
... the US Military -- fueled mostly by the very right wing bigotry that motivates the Republican Party these days -- conducts witch-hunts and dismisses gay men and women, even to the point of seriously crippling the so-called "war on terror"? With the support of the Log Cabin Republicans, any person who "serves with distinction" is forbidden to serve once they come out / are outed.

7. I laugh more at "Personal Responsibility."
Since when do republicans really believe in personal responsiblity? It's something they've always avoided at all cost for themselves, while pushing on thier opponents at every opportunity.

They're only in favor of personal responsibility as a one-sided weapon they can use against others.

8. '"limited government"'
They must be high! Limiting our lives and freedoms through govt. is all the GOP and junior care about. I'm sure Hitler's lemmings followed the same logic in World War Two.
