Hello there.  My name is Harry Johnson and I love handsome men like you.  \n\nIn some US states, we can get married ie. Massachusetts.\n\nWe may have to marry fast because they are pushing to outlaw homosexual marriages.

I'd venture that they would vote for him in a 2nd term if they were to find out he was gay sometime during his initial term, simply as a strong political move that sent the message of "conservative humanism" to the American public.  A brave , new party, so to speak, kindler, gentler, less homophobic because "one of theirs" has somehow joined the other team.\n\nOn the other hand, if he ran for an initial term as a Gay Republican, I don't think he would get many votes from straight Republicans.  \n\nRepublican Senator Paul Koering never hid the fact that is gay, but had political problems because of his sexual preference.  The difference in his situation and George Bushe's Republican gayness is that Bush has a much larger constituency to convince that he's either an OK guy anyway or say nothing at all and let his voters believe that he's a sinful gay butt-rompin' devil.  If he were already in office, he'd make it a huge part of his re-election campaign and probably have little trouble getting over the hump (no pun intended) since Republicans are stuck so far up his ass anyway, he wouldn't have much convincing to do to sway them in favor of having room for another.

This is quite possible. \n\nMore and more ppl are beginning to realize there are A LOT of gay Republican politicians that are well hidden in their closets.

Your ignorance requires more time than I have, but to summarize...\n\nThe reason that Bush and the right have such a constituency is because there is a large portion of the country that are still "god-fearing Christians."  For that term you may as well substitute "Uneducated hypocrites that conveniently choose to quote the bible when it suits their tastes, but don't live it."  Not saying that all are like that, but there are a lot of dumb lemmings out there...and what large margin are you talking about?  By the way, check the numbers, organized religion is dying in America...wonder why?  \n\nArtificial intelligence?  Are you kidding?  That doesn't even make sense...when has intelligence ever entered into love...and it is about love...you think gay people want to deal with as many hateful idiots as they do if it were about intelligence?\n\nNo one has proved that homosexuality is a choice vs. something more innate/genetic...most theories tend towards a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors as well...many gay people will outwardly tell you it's not a choice, it's who they are...they were born that way...\n\nSo, take your hate and spread it, no one can stop you, but homosexuality has been around as long and longer than the Bible...crazily enough we're living in the most technologically, economically and politically impressive times yet seen on Earth (to our knowledge)...amazing we've survived with all of those gays out there...leave them alone...believe me they want nothing to do with you...

You are very confused indeed. It's not a matter of people THINKING its not a choice. It's a matter of science PROVING that its not a choice. Before you can become better informed, you need to understand that important concept. People can argue politics all day long and say this and that about gay people, but the fact remains that it is NOT a choice and people are BORN gay.\n\nIf ignorant Americans could understand this, gays would be much more accepted in society just as they are in almost EVERY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. International travel has taught me that the United States is one of the most closed minded countries when it comes to homosexuals.

As a non-American, my answer is no. What has G Bush ever done if to the world can trust him? At least this is his last term in office. I just hope that the Democrats win the office in the next election - not only for the sake of America, but for everyone else.

This must be the Gay NEO-CONSERVATIVES Page. You should ask GAY RUSH LIMBAUGH, and or SEAN HENITY. They seem to be in love with him, and I have been told They keep a picture of BUSH in their wallets. "GAY"!!!

You will not get an honest answer for this question. PC is what you'll get.\n\nRealistically. that's not going to happen anytime soon in USA. He'll not make it that far because he'll be assassinated when he's nominated.

I think the US is ready for a no bullshit president.  One like Truman or many others like him who go off the principle that they are there to make the country(our country) a better place.  Whether it's male, female, black, white, or brown my vote will go to the person who comes out and says listen I know this may not be the most popular idea but here's what I'm thinking and why it'll work.(if it makes sense)  So is the us ready for a female president?  I think the us is ready for a tough american president.  What that person has between their legs or on their chest doesn't matter.

Gay Marriage and flag burning...the usual ones that the GOP brings to the ballot box to help their chances.  Neither of these issues means jack crap in the grand scheme of things.  Not one American would be hurt or affected by either issue.

and don't forget the man/boy sex relationshiops that is sitting in the wings.  They already have a large lobby group within the democratic party also.  \n\nOnce we say that gay is born that way, and we have to respect them because they are born that way,  then the pedophone or "child lover"  merely comes next since they are born that way, can't help theirself,  and can't be discriminated against either..\n\nAnd they will laugh at me today, I said this same thing in the early 70's about gays and everyone laughed and said no, no one would ever allow and accept gay marriage\n\nThe democrats at heart, which too many southern democrats just can't understand want to do away with anything religiouis and adapt a open society with no morality based on any religion ( esp Christian)

America is ready for a President of any color or gender.  The question is, will American's vote for such a person?  If the right candidate presents him or her self, I think they can get elected.  Right now, though, nobody appears to be this person.  Jesse Jackson?  Yeah, right.  Way too radical, even for some African Americans.  Condoleeza Rice?  No way - she has too much of Bush's dirt on her hands.  Colin Powell?  A possibility, but he has the Bush problem as well, and besides, he has said he doesn't want to run for political office.  Maybe in 2012 a guy like Barak Obama from Illinois can run and win.  I think its more likely that we will see a female President first, like Hillary Clinton.  She is probably going to be the Democratic nominee in 2008, and the Republicans will be hard pressed to find a competitive candidate after all that Bush has done as President.  The country is tired of Republican policy, and are looking for a change.

I would not vote for a homosexual just because he/she was gay. What are their stands on the issues? If I feel he/she is the best person for the job and will get the job done, then yes I will.\n\nIt may have already happened. There were rumors that James Buchanan was gay. He was never married, and for 15 years, lived with a man (William King).
