Log Cabin Republicans respond to Bush

[theHandpuppet]

Yeah, well they can cry me a frickin' river!! They're so proud of having supported and promoted the PNAC traitors and now they feel soooooo shocked and betrayed by that same gang of liars and psycopaths who pander to religious extremists. It's not like this is NEWS, LCRs! You can only feel betrayed if someone does an about-face on you... which the GOP has not. They haven't changed their stripes at all. That bullcrap about "compassionate conservatism" was just that -- a bunch of hot wind. And you'll be just as welcome at the GOP convention as the proverbial turd in the punchbowl. IDIOTS!

Log Cabin Republicans Criticize President Bush’s Support for Anti-Family Constitutional Amendment

February 24, 2004

(Washington)— “Log Cabin Republicans are more determined than ever to fight the anti-family Constitutional amendment with all our resources,” said Log Cabin Executive Director Patrick Guerriero, in response to the President’s announcement that he will push for the anti-family amendment. “Writing discrimination into our Constitution violates conservative and Republican principles. This amendment would not strengthen marriage—it would weaken our nation.”

“As conservative Republicans, we are outraged that any Republican—particularly the leader of our party and this nation—would support any effort to use our sacred United States Constitution as a way of scoring political points in an election year,” Guerriero said.

<snipping>

No matter what happens in the coming months, Log Cabin will stay in the GOP and fight—fight for fairness, liberty and equality. Hundreds of Log Cabin leaders will gather in California this April for our largest national convention ever. And in August, Log Cabin will have a strong presence in New York for the GOP’s 2004 national convention. We will mobilize all our resources and grassroots strength to fight this anti-family Constitutional amendment.

1. They are "more determined than ever"?!

Since when had they been determined to protect themselves as GLBT Americans in the first place? They usually allow repukes to walk all over them... x(

With all my heart!

[Fovea]

3. And in August, Log Cabin will have a strong presence in New York

No, sadly you won't.
But you will have a large seperate, but equal rally for * over in a nice VFW hall in Queens, just as soon as you promise Karl to be good untermenchen.

If you are really contrite for acting up today, he might even let a camera crew in. But you have to promise no hand holding.

4. It's all about me

Log Cabin Republicans have been loyal members of the GOP. We have been on the front lines with this President through good days and bad days. Log Cabin members believe so strongly in conservative principles that we have stood with this party even when we disagreed on some issues. Our principles have been attacked by the radical right and the far left, but we have stuck with our party. We’re not going to leave this party now, but we will not remain silent while some in the GOP try to use our Constitution as a tool for discrimination.

In other words, they don't give a damn about the poor, the working class, minorities, the war in Iraq, American imperialism, job outsourcing, corporate corruption, the Patriot Act, or any other of the fascist policies of the current Republican party. They're just upset that THEY got the shaft this time around.

Gay or not, they're Repugs to the bone.

[MsUnderstood]

6. As conservative Republicans. . .

As conservative Republicans. . .they should be just as pissed off that bush is blowing up the deficiet, sending us to fight a war for no reason . .awww to hell with it. . .have a good time OUTSIDE of your party's national convention. Make sure to use the drinking fountain marked "GAYS ONLY".

[ChompySnack]

7. They are very upset, but will vote for him again anyway

Any homosexual who is a Republican is by definition a masochist.

8. here is the crux...

"No matter what happens in the coming months, Log Cabin will stay in the GOP and fight—fight for fairness, liberty and equality."

Translation -- No matter how hard you beat us, torture us, demean us or villify us, we'll always be Republicans and we love you.

Electoral Battered-Spouse Syndrome in action.

10. Look, if they became Dems, they would have to find other careers.

Their claim to fame is that they are Gay repukes. If they became Dems, that organization would no longer exist, and they would have to go get real jobs. So, they can't switch.

[KayLaw]

11. Interesting

Patrick Guerriero says he's outraged a Republican would use the Contitution to score points during an election year, but isn't that what they're doing to with the events of 9/11? How is that any better?

[Mick Knox]

12. How many "log cabin republicans" could there be?

12? 15?

Play with fire.. get burned.. I think soloman said that.

[Boomer]

15. More than that, unfortunately

There are two gay Republicans in my office -- one man and one woman.

And irony of ironies, the woman and her lover had a private marriage ceremony last year. Wonder if they're going to put Bush posters up on their lawn this time around, the way they did last election....

18. really?

hmm learn something new every day. They have no right to be outraged... they know what party they chose to be in.

[knight_of_the_star]

19. Somebody call the waaaaaaaambulance!

:nopity:

They had it coming. And they are surprised by this HOW?

[Mick Knox]

22. LOL... thats my thoughts exactly... NT

[I AM SPARTACUS]

20. notice the word - "SACRED Constitution"...

"we are outraged that any Republican—particularly the leader of our party and this nation—would support any effort to use our SACRED United States Constitution as a way of scoring political points "...

[ComerPerro]

23. Gee, good thing they are still going to stay in the GOP

Heh. The party of Santorum.

I don't feel sorry for Log Cabin Republicans.

[historian]

24. Ku Klux Klan

Their determination to remain republican is about as stupid as blacks wanting to join the Klan in order to change their views!!!
