There is no difference between the George Bush of today than the George Bush of 2000. He made his opinion on gay men and women abundantly clear in 2000, yet they endorsed him. Now they praise him for everything else but his stance on gay and lesbian rights. If I was gay, I'd take great offense to that. I thinkthat, in the end, their obsession with reforming the party has clouded their judgement to what the real issues here are and that makes them not only ineffectual, but transparent.

So, the LCR's can kiss my ass. They serve no purpose.

BINGO!!!

I'm willing to be open-minded and work with those who at least have the ability to take a look at their position and say, "well, it's possible that there could be more to it".

But trying to work with Satan himself is just ludicrous.

The fact is, any group of people who would even want to promote the message of "love the sinner but hate the sin" when related to gay human beings is no friend of gays and lesbians; they hinder the cause more than the support it. By promoting that line of thinking, they're simply feeding into more hatred and, IMO, sell out the gay and lesbian community.

My main beef with the Log Cabin Republicans is that instead of using their brains to help gay rights and issues nationwide, they're concentrating all of their efforts on "reforming" a political party that fundamentally disapproves of their lifestyles. With Reagan, the Republican party was hijacked by right-wing religious wackjobs and the problem has only gotten worse over the years. By the time the LCR's came along in 1996, they were so overdue that nothing they did or said could make any sort of difference to the party. Presidential candidates snubbed them, returned their campaign contributions, refused to meet with them, etc. Yet, the LCR's continued to support them, the very same people who are against the way they live their lives and refer to them as degenerates and deviants.

And when they're done kissing yours, they can start on mine. As a friend of mine says, they can kiss my ENTIRE ass.
