duh!

[Democat]

2. Bush will lose the vote of all 5 gay people who were going to vote for him

Does anyone think he cares?

He will get a lot more votes from his "base" by bashing gays than he will get from gay Americans by supporting them.

6. More than 5

According to 2000 exit polling data, 25% of those who identified themselves as gay or lesbian (4% of the total voters) voted for Bush. I think we can count on that being a little lower this time around.

The brainwashed log cabin folk will vote for Bush even if he says they should all be shipped to the moon.

5. Bullshit: There's always those Gay's that like to be humiliated, slapped

up-side the head, and used by the republicans, then tossed aside... beat me, whip me, hurt me...also known as the "Log Cabin Republicans"!!!

7. The Log Cabin Repubs made it official

Gay Activists in the G.O.P. Withhold Endorsement
By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK

Published: September 8, 2004


The board of Log Cabin Republicans, the largest group for gay men and lesbians in the party, voted overwhelming last night against endorsing President Bush for re-election because of his support for a proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.

The decision ends six months of soul-searching as the group, which endorsed Mr. Bush in 2000 and Bob Dole in 1996, wrestled with its divided loyalties.

Although the group was immediately critical when the president announced his support for the amendment in February, it pointedly refrained from ruling out an endorsement. Its effort to balance loyalty to the party with opposition to a major item on the Republican agenda has made it a target of criticism from both supporters and opponents of the proposed amendment.



As delegates at the Republican National Convention were preparing to adopt a platform condemning gay parents, for example, a handful of gay rights activists were protesting outside a Log Cabin party on Aug. 29 in Bryant Park in New York.

In a meeting last night in Washington, the group's board voted 22 to 2 to withhold its endorsement, a spokesman said, declining to name the holdouts.
