John Boehner says GOP should support gay candidates: ‘I do’

Oy vey. If only he were simply useless.

[greene66]

Another example of how the GOP has become just as slimey and degenerate as the Dems. Between embracing amnesty and the homo agenda, I truly believe I’m coming to the point where I’ll never vote GOP again. I’ll just stay home.

Dear John:

Suggest you support candidates based on their positions on issues rather than sexual identity. That way you look less like a 'rat.

[yoe]

If the voters were to ever learn from past mistakes, they would not vote for a person just because he/she is gay, lesbian, black, purple or white…Americans need to Vote On The Character of a candidate….I don’t know any gays who will not bring more gays to the ‘party’ just as I don’t know any American Negros who are not trying or have put more of their color in play, hardly other races, just their own……disregarding their country and what is best over all.

Mr. Boehner is playing politics or Political Correctness if you will. Regardless of gender, vote for the person who has character and lives by it….we have enough arrogant and flaky, nonsupportative wannabes in and out of office who do not support our Constitution or We The People….getting elected to or re-elected to office enriching themselves rather than their country. Obama is the picture perfect example having surrounded himself with people of color….Valerie Jarrett, Van Jones, (he is most likely still in the picture/undercover) Eric Holder, Susan Rice, for starters plus the all Negro apologists for Obama; Obama sees himself and Michelle as ‘victims’ no patriotism….closing the Military monuments world wide? National Parks and other Federally run places to punish the white Americans….he is a fool and a tyrant. Sorry Boehner, I don’t and won’t vote for anyone because of their sexual persuasion or race.

I'm not making a joke when I say he doesn't act “normal” for him anymore meaning I think he may have a psychological/mental/physical problem. I think he needs the pressure of being the speaker, removed.

At the beginning of the day one time when we had an election in our county and I was involved as my husband was the county chair, a few of our people told me of acts the county clerk had just done. Her actions were not normal for her and I told them I thought she has had a stroke. In a short time she was taken to the hospital and it was determined she had a stroke.

Boehner’s pronouncements do not seem normal for him.

John...
BUH BYE!

Boehner made no mention of political philosophy, just that we apparently should look first at someone’s sex or “sexual orientation”. I don’t vote for or against women, I vote for Conservatives and against liberals. I agree with you, I don’t need to know about a candidates “sexual orientation” and if that’s the keystone of their platform they are not going to get my support. Some things are best done in private, if at all.

[murrie]

Why can’t the repubbies just answer “I support the most qualified candidate regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation blah blah blah.” What is so hard about that?

[bravo whiskey]

if the gay is conservative, believes in man woman marraige and doesn’t flaunt his gayness or belong to the queer mafia i would voite for them over a straight rino or dim libtard.

I’m not trying to be argumentative. I guess I’m just not very knowledgeable of the Bible. Please give me the Scripture reference where God says homosexuality is an abomination. A friend of mine is part of a denomination where half of the ministers support same-sex marriage. He’s a good Christian, but, he stays in that church out of religious tradition. I’d like to give him that Scripture.

They want to win without being beholding to the conservative base and they might if enough people who are pissed because of obamacare to vote for the GOPe gang. Trouble is that is without a doubt a Pyrrhic victory at best because those same voters who might give then victory in 2014 will return to the democrats in 2016 and the conservative base will be working on a new second party at that point.

[Din Maker]

Boehner and McConnell, et al, are crapping all over us. It’s open warfare against conservatives. Idiots.

Maybe it’s time to form the Conservative Party of America. People say that a new Party cannot win elections for 2 decades. Well, we’re not winning many now. We should have defeated Obama in a landslide in 2012.

[Din Maker]

I suppose we should also give our support to drunkards, liars, thieves and adulterers

Hey Citizen; you might be on to something there. It’s worked for years for the Democrats.

[Din Maker]

At least he drinks a good brand of Whiskey. (Jameson)

[Din Maker]

Show me a strong, principled, reliable, conservative and gay republican and I'll consider it. No such person? Well, my issue is not with the gay part, it's the lack of the other attributes.

I think most of us would vote for a gay Conservative before we would ever vote for Obama, Hillary, Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi.

[OldMissileer]

...but they should also support openly gay individuals who are seeking higher office.

I won't.

Will Bonehead...er... Boehner now attack me like he does the real Americans associated with the TEA Party?

[greene66]

I’ve never voted for a Dem and never will.

But I’d also never vote for a deviant perv.

[dps.inspect]

I’d tell him to go screw himself, but, I think he just did...

[DannyTN]

Can we fire Boehner now? He is not a conservative.
