WASHINGTON – The nation's best-known group representing gay conservatives fiercely denounced and dismissed gay GOP presidential candidate, Fred Karger of California.

"Fred Karger's candidacy is a bad joke. He is not a credible candidate," GOProud's executive director Jimmy LaSalvia told Raw Story in an email. "For one, I've never heard him articulate why he would be a better president than Barack Obama, and he spends all his time talking about how homophobic the Republican Party is."

Karger, a businessman and former Republican consultant, was the first official entrant in the GOP 2012 race, as well as the first openly gay candidate of a major political party. He's a proud feminist, pro-same sex marriage, pro-choice, and a critic of Sarah Palin who thinks many Republicans are hypocrites. And his unabashed criticisms of the GOP have convinced GOProud that he's a misfit for the party.

"It seems to me that he's probably running in the wrong primary," LaSalvia said. "Maybe 'Mr. Pro-Marriage Equality Karger' should run in the Democratic primary against 'Anti-Marriage Equality Obama.'"

7. Hey, the guy says he's a Republican, he's a Republican.

Just because he doesn't sound like a complete and total moron doesn't mean he can't be a Republican if that's what he wants.


Actually sounds like a Republican that is an actual 'Conservative' in wanting to keep the government out of people's personal lives.
