Texas GOP Blocks Gay Conservatives From Having Booth At State Convention

[Swede Atlanta]

5. This should make something click for the Log Cabin Republicans but it won't....

They fail to understand that the Republican party of today is a closed tent.

It is predominantly limited to white, wealthy men and women above age 45. That is those who actually determine the policy and actions of the party. Then there is the grass root component which is still predominantly white but is a much greater mixture of wealth and poor (who don't realize their vote is against their own interests). It is a base that is driven hatred of gays, minorities and a perception of hating other poor people. It is a base that is defined by people who claim to be evangelical Christians that hate Muslims and tolerate Jews only to the extent they can help bring on the Rapture.

If they don't understand that then they can fall on their own swords.

Until these old white "farts" die off the party's tent is never going to get bigger.
