Unconfirmed as yet by the campaign, but the LCRs say it’s so:
A source with close ties to the Log Cabin Board of Directors provided information about the meeting to GayPatriot earlier this week. This source disclosed that the Log Cabin meeting was not reflected on Senator McCain’s published schedule in advance and the meeting…
Log Cabin President Patrick Sammon confirmed the meeting with Senator McCain in email correspondence with GayPatriot earlier today…
Based on published news reports, the meeting with Senator McCain would be the first between any national-level gay Republicans and a Republican Presidental nominee since “The Texas 12″ met with then-Governor George W. Bush in 2000.
One of Maverick’s more appealing mavericky qualities during the campaign has been his attempt to expand the tent by reaching out to minority voters. The rift’s not going to be healed anytime soon and he surely realizes it, but this gets us a tiny bit closer to healing it eventually. It’s commendable that he’s willing to devote resources to the task. What’s especially impressive — or insane, from the strict Machiavellian point of view — is that meeting with the LCRs could actually cost him votes among the most strident members of a social conservative base that’s not real keen on him to begin with and even less so after he dumped Hagee and Parsley. Surely there aren’t so many gay Republicans and independents that winning them over will offset the potential loss in votes among evangelicals, so what’s McCain’s game here? Or is there no game at all and he’s simply acting out of decency towards a GOP constituency?

Even a pagan or atheist could learn from Christ’s teachings...
Hard to imagine that any GOP presidential candidate hasn’t met with the Log Cabin Republicans.
Wow, McCain is doing his best to make it very difficult for any Conservative to vote for him. First he meets with La Raza, now he meets with the Log Cabin Republicans(perverts). Please tell me why I should vote for the lesser of two evils.

Gee, guess I won't be voting for either of the major parties then.
In context to the original post.
If you want an an argument, pick one who cares
What's it like to be G-d?
The Dems lost pathetically running on “Anybody But Bush” in 2004.
Frankly, I have yet to hear a single reason why we should expect “Anybody But Obama” will work any differently for us.
McCain sorely needs an actual election strategy, and last month.
Hopefully McCain won’t take a wide stance.
Fellowship with God is preconditioned upon the Creature facing Him with respect to His provision.
Any group of men who precondition their membership in that group with policies which they explicitly declare to come first before God, have already preconditioned themselves to not be accepted by Him.
No individual or group of individuals have fellowship with God when they precondition that relationship by their individual preferences over His.
Associating with such groups is not the same as our Lord and Savior witnessing to men and women who sere sinners, but were receptive to receiving Him and God’s provision first before their sins.
Redemption has been paid, but not forgiveness until the believer returns to Him on His grounds.
How's it feel to be a newbie, newbie?
And also note that Jesus said, "Go, and sin no more." So when you are doing all this reaching out, do you help them leave their life of sin? Or do you do more harm than good by giving them a pass, telling them that God is only kidding.
At least he refuses to meet with Evangelical Christian conservatives.
I know gays I like and some I don’t like so much. I think it’s not for me to judge their soul if they live their lives decently like most the rest of us.
Hear ya.
If some get it on our national security, all the better
“Please tell me why I should vote for the lesser of two evils.”
Because while he hates you and almost everything that you stand for, he has that nice shiny “R” next to his name....kind of uses it like Clinton using that oversized Bible going to church whenever he got into trouble.
Except votes and probably money, both of which help win elections.
So in other words McRINO met with Mctraitors...
