Will the Craig scandal cause homophobes to stop voting Republican?

[Rocknrule]

Or will they explain it away the same way they did with Haggard, Foley, etc: "They're not perfect, just forgiven"? :puke:

1. They'd rather vote for the most bigoted party

Even if they're not all bigoted.

[Warpy]

2. Nope, they'll continue to vote for the law and order but

make sure every homicidal maniac can get a gun party.

What, you were expecting logic?

[Raksha]

3. I think it may cause them to quietly drop the anti-gay agenda

from their platform, in order to avoid future embarrassments and the well-justified charges of hypocrisy that follow every new scandal. I think Republicans will always be bigots, but a little bit sneakier about it than they've been in recent years.

[AlCzervik]

4. that would be the best thing.

[Maggie_May]

5. They keep voting Republican

till they have nothing no money on house no health no schools for their children. They will stop voting Republican when they are living on the streets and need our help.

[BlooInBloo]

6. Of course not.

7. Naah

The Repugnicans are doing a pretty good job of distancing themselves from "Tearoom Larry." In fact, they're lining up and taking numbers to be the next one to publicly throw him under the bus. Unfortunately, I think this won't affect the national Repugnican party one bit.

8. No. Where are they going to go instead?

They are as trapped over on the right side of the Kleptocratic Duopoly & War Party, Inc. as we are trapped over on the left side.

[sniffa]

9. no. but it seems to encourage the homophobes on DU

to be out and proud.

[Warren Stupidity]

12. and mighty uncomfortable while travelling. nt.

[sniffa]

13. why?

worried you might be raped by a 60 year oLd repubLican? or maybe he's going to ravish your chiLdren?

[Warren Stupidity]

14. From what I've read here

the scary thought that there might be a gay man in the stall next to you will be keeping many a Duer desperately holding it in rather than risk the dreaded foot tap or urinal peek.

[sniffa]

16. true, true

;)

[Sarah Ibarruri]

10. God I hope homophobes stop voting GOP. nt

[liberal N proud]

11. Is the Pope Baptist?

[stillcool]

15. they'll have to get born again...

but then everything will be okey-dokey...as long as they promise to make abortion illegal, forbid gays to marry, discriminate against any non-white people, and keep the hate-fest going.

17. David Cross: "I'm Not Saying that All Republicans are Racist, Sexist, Homphobes..."

"...just the people they choose to elect into office to represent them are."

[Siyahamba]

18. "Do as I say, not as I do"

As long as they keep saying the anti-gay rhetoric, that's all that matters to homophobes. It's like with abortion - Roe v. Wade is still in effect after 6 years of Republican control of all three branches, but anti-choicers still support them because they say they'll repeal it.
