'Detente': GOP Leadership To Make Historic Appearance Before Gay Rights Group

[vaberella]

I don't know in what world I'm living in. It's like yesterday never happened and I've been thrust into the twilight zone.

Breaking new ground in the Republican Party's relationship with the gay community, the leaders of the GOP's two congressional campaign committees will be honored at a fundraising reception hosted by the Log Cabin Republicans on Wednesday evening.

Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, and Representative Pete Sessions (R-TX), Chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, are this year's recipients of the Barry Goldwater Award recognizing "leaders in the Republican Party who have served their nation with distinction in the model of the late Senator Barry Goldwater." Cornyn is scheduled to attend the dinner.

The ceremony, he added, symbolized a "détente" or "thawing" of the Republican Party's relationship with the gay community. "We are quite proud of this. It represents unprecedented access and our strength in the party. We are in a very different election cycle than we have been in the past. There is a recognition that social issues are a distraction."

1. Republicans will do anything/everything to win this election....

All one has to remember is if a Republicans mouth is moving he telling a lie....In this case it seems they are even lieing to their own party members

2. It's mind boggling, isn't it?!

I just can't wrap my head around this at all. Not at all. These people have shred of human decency, I doubt they know what that is and have basically made principals and integrity novelty words.
