Log Cabin Republicans Refuse To Back Bush

[Joe Fields]

Today on MSNBC Chris Barron, Executive Director of the Log Cabin Republicans said that by an overwhelming 22-2 vote of their council, the one million members WILL NOT endorse or vote for George Bush.

When asked if they will vote for John Kerry, Barron said no, that they are still republicans and would not vote for a Democratic candidate.

At least that is one million votes that Bush can't count on anymore.

1. the log cabin republicans made me sick

:puke:

[Joe Fields]

7. I don't concern myself with how they make people feel. I am

elated though, that there will be one million fewer votes for Dubya.

[Old and In the Way]

2. I'll bet more than a few actually vote for Kerry.

I have no idea what keeps these people in the Republican camp, but I think even they know that Bush will declare war on gays if he's elected again.

11. I bet you're right

And I had to laugh when Barron was complaining that the GOP was using gays as one more "wedge" issue. He sounded shocked and more than a little offended.

WAKE THE HELL UP!

[sui generis]

3. yeah, a silver lining

just the same, the log cabin repukes can still go "straight" to hell. As they are so fond of reminding us, they are nevertheless still republicans.

4. those disgusting people make me sick

Republicans, that is. :D

[tkulesa]

5. Can anyone actually explain to me what this group stands for?

They certainly bend over and take quite a bit. But what do they actually stand up for?

[FlaIndie]

6. my guess is they want the tax breaks

They certainly can't be aligned with Repube social positions.

[Joe Fields]

8. It beats me how they can be gay AND republican at the same time.

10. gay people can be greedy too

[tedoll78]

12. Bullseye.

Every LCR that I've met is all about "me me me." They seem to all be pretty well-off.. so taxes seems to be the biggie for them. Their humanity seems to take a back seat.

15. and dignity

how one can trade money for dignity and compassion i will never understand

[DURHAM D]

20. They are homophobic homosexuals. It is not that uncommon.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

21. no they are not. they are just greedy.

9. If they don't like *'s stance..

why would they just NOT vote for him..why won't they vote to get him out??? hmmm??? I don't understand gay republicans...no offense but republicans don't really believe in equal rights unless equal is heterosexual white male who has a lot of money...

[yardwork]

17. I don't understand Republicans

Their party motto seems to be "I've got mine, Jack."

[ComerPerro]

13. They had the nerve to attack Kerry in that satement, too

Which kinda pisses me off. They complained that he is inconsistant on his stance on gay rights.

I really don't think these assholes have the right to criticize Kerry on this, since they have been supporting the Republicans for years.

14. Who gives a fuck.

If they are stupid enough to vote in conceert with people that would love to beat the living shit out of them, well, I think their opinions are for shit. So let em vote any way they want, WHO GIVES A FUCK?

[DaveSZ]

16. Yep

"Equal rights" to most neocons means White, heterosexual, Protestant, affluent, male.

If you don’t meet the above criteria, no need to apply.

[MsTryska]

19. haha! i totaly agree.

I've never understood the concept of a log cabin republican myself. it's a shame they won't vote for Kerry instead, but heck, someone needs to throw badnarik a bone. Maybe they will all write in Rick "Goodhair" Perry. that would be a hoot.



What i find most ironic tho, is that the "wedge issue" repubs were trying to make btwn them and the dems is turning out to be a wedge in their own party.

[terrya]

18. I'm sickened that 2 board members dissented.

For gay people to even have any doubts about this is unbelievably shameful.

[mbali]

22. He shouldn't have EVER been able to count on them . . .

Gay people voting Republican is as stupid as black folks voting Dixiecrat.
