in the thread http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x389020

was an article Here with this quote:

More than 1 million gay and lesbian Americans voted for George W. Bush in 2000, according to Log Cabin, but some of those votes are in jeopardy this year.

IMHO that is probably 500,000 votes. If you add up all the anti-FMA and anti-big spenders in the Log Cabin, I believe half will not be voting for *.

1. I wouldn't believe any numbers

coming from the Log Cabiners. They could hold their national convention in my garage, and I wouldn't have to pull my car out.

2. Log Cabin...my a**

Geez, I cannot fathom these guys and girls who call themselves Liberal Repubs. BTW, anyone notice that the Publicans didn't get it right the first time, so they had to come back as REpublicans? LOL...sorry, bad joke. Ahem...

Hey Dookus, could you close the garage door and turn the car engine on when they convene? Please!!!

A Liberal, pinko Lesbian Dem!

5. Bush's support for an amendment notwithstanding

I've heard Log Cabin Republicans say they support smaller government, rational spending, personal freedoms, etc. Not atypical GOP rhetoric.

So this call to amend the Constitution should simply be the straw that breaks the camel's back for the LCR. Bush has ballooned the budget with out-of-control spending on defense and pushed irresponsible tax cuts that fly in the face of traditional conservative economics (there actually was a legitimate school of thought before the supply-siders took over that advocated fiscal responsibility). Bush advocates limits to our civil liberties, which Republicans over the years have claimed to cherish. He pushed us into an overseas war that does not benefit our nation's security. Though not exactly isolationist, traditional conservative thought views the military as a tool to defend American soil, not an implement of the "nation building" that Bush claimed to oppose in the 2000 campaign.

Seems to me the Log Cabin Republicans would do well by refusing to endorse Bush for more than one reason. Call him a neo-con or an ultra-nationalist or whatever (personally I call him an idiot). But he really shouldn't be called a true conservative.

It's a shame the Bush administration has pulled the wool over so many conservative eyes.

7. According to Harvey Fierstein

gay repubs are, like mentally retarded or something.

Let's face it. Sully was one of *'s most loyal sycophants. If Andy' pissed at SMirk, most gays are too.

8. Well, now that Sullivan's had his Damascus moment...

maybe some of his well-bred, gym-toned, DINK supporters will follow him. Then again, never underestimate people's capacity for self-delusion.
