i don't get log cabin republicans

[Ameesh]

for those of you who dont know who they are, its a group of gay republicans who vote for people like bush.


I don't understand why they would vote for someone who so openly hates them. does anyone else feel this is bizzare? or are any of you in the log cabin republicans?

 

[pulse8]

I find it very bizarre, but not as bizarre as Jews for Jesus.

 

[amcdonald]

I didn't know that Bush hated gay people.
I thought he was against gay marraige.

 

[acemcmac]

lol... weirdos...

its like a black man voting for a known klan member into office. its insane.

there was a big conference for log cabin republicans last week, apparently they're not sure if they're going to endorse bush this year. (for obvious reasons) they've quite conservative on every other issue so it's not a far stretch to imagine the group existing. (can't someone love both musical theater and lower capital gains taxes? )

 

[Borracho]

I think they just like hissTexas a$$ in blue jeans...

 

[Shelly21]

Well, there are a lot of liberals who hate gay people too. Maybe they agree with everything Bush stands for except the gay issues.

there very well might be but you dont see them trying to make a constitutional amendemnt to help deny them privilages or rights.

They just don't see Bush's view on gay marriage as a major deal. One of my friends up at UTK has this view. He is for Bush's views on almost everything except gay marriage, but he doesn't view his opposition to that one point to be enough to sway his vote.

I'm a gay republican. While I do believe gay civil unions should be nation wide, it's really not that important to me. What's more important is that I'm a single guy making nearly 6 figures, and I pay taxes out the ass. I don't need that.

So my wallet leaves my heart and votes for Bush.

 

[veggiefrog]

he doesnt "openly hate" gay ppl, just thinks marriage should be between a man and a woman.... and you can be politically conservative and gay :roll:

So you'd rather make more money and be denied the right to marriage?

So let me get this straight:

Absolutely. I have a use for money, I have no use for the right to marry.

have you personally recieved any tax benefit from him being in office? i am a single male earning 6 figures as well and i still pay out the ass for taxes, personally i'd rather have the money go to schools and medicine and food for the needy rather then the military so his buddies can get lucrative oil contracts.

Who said marraige is a right?. He said he thinks gay CIVIL UNIONS should be nationally acknowledged. I think allowing gay civil unions is a good compromise.

Well, we obviously have philisophical differences as well. I'm glad he invaded Iraq, it should have been done a long time ago. I'm all for a big military stretching across the globe, spreading American dominance, and making the world love us even more.

 

[DougK62]

The point isn't that Bush gives us tax breaks, it's that people like Kerry want to seriously fvck with the taxes of people that make a lot of money and jack them WAY up.

Now you're just arguing over semantics.

Nebor, thanks to our new Topic Summary feature, you have been given a choice by the OP.

are they really stupid or just simply masochistic?

in other news when Nebor tried to come out of the closet he went the wrong way and ended up in Narnia.
