Sick. Just sick and twisted.

Its not just about tax cuts, its also about whats right and whats wrong.

Are the Republican overtures to gays part of "compassionate conservatism"? Like sending money to aids victims in Africa?
Is it a way to garner gay votes? If it keeps on, eventually the Dems will become irrelevant, and it'll be the GOP and the Libertarians.

Eating their own?

[Clint N. Suhks]

The Right is calling into question what little outreach the party had to gay voters at the crossroads of an election season.

Maybe because “the party” shouldn’t be concerned with special rights for chosen behavior. Smaller government isn’t a riddle. We will welcome them for reparation and healing in faith-based or non-faith-based organizations but giving them ANY political accommodation is contrary to everyone but Liberaltarians.

Cheny: "We can make sexual orientation a nonissue^* for the Republican Party, and we can help achieve equality for all gay and lesbian Americans."

In order to do this we pubbies are gonna have to give up the strong Judeo-Christian base of our party. I ain't interested, how 'bout you?

^*"Nonissue" is a code word for shrugging your shoulders.^ Something else I'm not keen on.

"At the core of the program was a media campaign to change the way the average citizens viewed homosexuality by desensitizing them concerning homosexuals and homosexual rights."

After seeing a series of stories in the media lately about gays and the GOP, I'm of the opinion that a lot of people in the media yearn for the old days of the GOP eating their own, and are liking to stir the pot a little and see what might be cooking.

Egads, that Dick Cheney, tolerating an open pervert in his own family. If he had any cojones, he'd have had her sent to a solitary cell at Guantanamo Bay by now. Wouldn't he? I guess he's sucking up to the Sodomites, so Bush had better drop him from the '04 ticket before it's too late. Right? ... Right?

"... on the largely honorary post with the gay-straight political alliance. "

Since when is being "gay" honorable? The reality is that being "gay" is anything but "gay". Rather it is a sick, behavior resulting from emotional problems. It is the ultimate confusion to be attracted to same sex. Imagine the denial these folks go through!

[nmh]

Maybe Daddy put his foot down and told her to keep a low profile and get out of this "honary" position. LOL - "honary"!

[Eva]

My husband told me that Dick Gephardt also has a gay daughter. What is it with politicians' families? There seems to be more than the usual percentage of gays in the families of prominent politicians. It makes you wonder about the nurture vs nature argument.

[Eva]

I forgot to add that my guess is that she didn't want to be in any prominent position during the upcoming election cycle, which would attract attention like a lightning rod.

"We can make sexual orientation a nonissue for the Republican Party, and we can help achieve equality for all gay and lesbian Americans."

Isn't this a contradictive statement? Everytime you push the gaygenda, you create an GOP party issue.
