11. Is that the gop reaching out to Gays?! Thanks for Steve Benen's

piece, ProSense. Always nice to read his take..

from your link.. Aha this is there own special way of reaching out.. lol

"Rather, the point is that the political winds have changed to such an extent that Republicans no longer see this issue as an electoral winner. In 2004, GOP officials, from George W. Bush to U.S. House candidates, still saw gay rights as such an effective wedge issue, they spent much of the year touting an anti-gay amendment to the Constitution.

A decade later, Republicans can read a poll just as well as anyone else, and it’s become obvious to them that gay bashing simply doesn’t help the party the way it used to.

Update: Both Boehner’s office and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s office specifically turned down a chance to comment on the president’s executive order."

Thanks!
