Really? This is what you ask? You must be trying to find something to pin on a Democrat. Must be tough to be a Neo Con(vict) these days.

I consider myself republican and I believe it is but a blatant lie to say that the republican party denies basic rights to gays. They just dont support liberal issues such as same-sex marriage because conservative republicans think that it is immoral and wrong. But that is politics - the interplay of power.

HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.... above preppypunkboi said he was a gay athiest and he voted for him?\n\nThat's why he won... because people are stupid... Bush would as soon put a bullet in preppypunkboi's head than to piss on him if he were on fire... yet he still voted for him... that hurts my head...\nAnd his exucse is because he has a "back-bone"... I wish he would make Christianity the national religion and ban being gay, and he would if he could, just to show preppypunkboi how stupid he really is...

Which republican isn't? \n\nj/k, just peeved at South Dakota and my own Texas right now.\n\nps. I saw who you meant, and I think the poor guy's just starved for attention. *Shrug* He's being rather odd about it, but I'm sure he's getting plenty of responses. Not from me though :P

Yes.  They are TRAITORS to the gay cause and gay Americans.  No self-respecting gay person could ever work or vote for the Republican Party.

There are gays in both parties, Barney Franks being the most prominent of the Dems, he's been "out" for a long time.  Most gays probably feel they have to hide it or not get elected - there are way too many people around who would still consider that disqualifying.\n\nPeople need to distinguish between someone being gay and being a pedophile.  Pedophiles can be gay or straight - and most gays, like most straights, do NOT molest children.

He has repeatedly been in trouble (as have other conservative alcoholic hate spewers) for everything from DUI's to prescription scams to employment of illegals.\n\nThese people never practice what they preach...\n\nIt will be funny when he gets around to going to a 12 step meeting and has to take advice from blacks, gays and divorced mothers on how to handle HIS problem...

I've been thinking about this for quite awhile now in an attempt to try to understand the answer to your exact question.\n\nI used to think that Republicans who support Bush were just haters who were obviously miserable unhappy ppl that wanted to be angry and blame everybody else for what flaws they saw in their lives; BUT, I have come to realize this is incorrect.\n\nThe answer lies in the fundamental way of thinking. I will explain: take for example, homosexuality. The rightwing take the fact that the Bible states homosexuality is a sin to mean that it should not be allowed in our society. They see things in flat black and white; based purely on what THEY have decided is right and wrong. With this true conviction that they are right, they feel they have the authority, as the majority, to impose their beliefs on society, ignoring the rights of the minority.\n\nThe liberal pt of view, stems from society as a whole and the rights of the individual even when in the minority. Liberals, while many also considering homosexuality a sin in the Bible, do not feel it is their place to dictate to another person how he/she should live their life as long as it is within the confinements of the law. So, you see, the liberal-minded seem to look beyond themselves and what THEY believe is right or wrong. \n\nDon't mean to make this a gay posting.. that was just an example to try to explain my answer to your question.

He is heterosexual and I don't think that he had any other leanings.\nI don't know what you are trying to get at, do you?

I'm not sure... I was the victim of a gay bashing on Christmas Morning, 2005. And since I live in western Nebraska, I really was not sure what to do. If I had made a stink out of it and got the police involved, I more than likely would have been subjected to it again. Maybe gay bashing is done by those who are too chicken shite to admit they really are gay, so they hate those of us who are out of the closet and fear that we will drag them kicking and screaming into the world of Gayness. lol.

Of course they are. Do you have any idea of the Lesbian, cookie eating Republicans that want to rewrite English. They call it Bi-sexual, Ha Ha Ha, it's still being a Homosexual in all the books. Pat Robinson and Jerry Falwell call them an abomination, yet they vote them into office.

The point is political pandering for votes. They bring this issue up every election year. It has NOTHING to do with dignity, or morals, or sanctity or any other word they choose to attach to it. OR even Gay marriage for that matter.\n\nIf the majority of voters are "horrified" by gays, they will remember this person "fighting against" this  at election time.\n\nIts horribly wrong to do this at the cost of basic human rights and fuels hate crimes among 1000 other negative reasons.\n\n There are many things inherently wrong with our countries political $y$tem. \n\nI'll stop there before I really get started. :)\n\nI found this today thought you might find it interesting...\nhttp://www.armchairsubversive.com/

I take no joy in anyone's disgrace. However, the irony of the situation isn't lost on me. It makes me wish that the Fundamentalists and other groups would lighten up on the gay issue so that people could just come out of the closet instead of living lives based on secrecy and falsehood. It's a recipe for hypocrisy. My own church is open to gay clergy, and we haven't seen anything like this coming from them; we already know they're gay, so there's nothing to hide. It's a sad commentary on one individual--in this case, the minister in question--but a worse indictment of his own church and its homophobic agenda.

Seriously, that is one thing I noticed a long time ago about Republicans and part of what made me switch parties to democrat. \n\nThere seems to be this mentality in the Republican party to constantly blame ANYTHING or ANYBODY else you can for whatever downfall you see in the country at that moment.\n\nThat could be gays demoralizing our nation to those darn anti-patriot treasonist liberals. LOL

he is not a democrat, or at least that's all I can see that there arguments boil down to.\n\nyou know I though they were supposed to be the "smart" ones but they are acting like a 4 year old that didn't get there way so they are going to throw a temper tantrum.
