why are homosexual republicans called "log cabin republicans"?

This isnt a bad question... ive wondered this too. The name is in reference to Abraham Lincolon who was the first republican president and supposedly born in a log cabin. Maybe "gay republicans" was too straight forward.

I don't think that's the reason.\nBecause most gays are Democrats.\nAnd most Democrat Politicians are NAMBLA people.

Statistically I don't know which party has more homosexual politicians. What I do know, is that the Republican party has more "in the closet" homosexuals.\nThe homosexuals in the Democratic party are proud of who they are and are not trying to hide anything.\nThe Republicans are generally anti-gay, even though some of them are gay.\nThe issue is not whether they are gay, it's whether or not they tell the truth. That has always been the issue, it's just one more set of stories that proves the overall Hypocrisy that has come to be the norm for that party.

Officially it is known as the 'Grand Old Party' (Republicans)\nI refer to it as the Grand Oil Party, Goofy Old Politicians.

The Republican Party aka the GOP (Grand Overclass Party) are minons of the rich and powerful.\n\nThe rich don't like to give their money or influence to anyone unless of course its makes them more money. They also like to use other people's money (our tax dollars) to benifit themselves not the poor or powerless. \n\nSo the term compassionat conservative is just more bull shit those Republican assholes are trying to use to hide their selfish nature. \n\nBush and the GOP...conservatives my ass! Conserve means to protect and not waste. These sons of bitches are doing anything and everything BUT that! \n\nConservative is the biggest bull shit lable I have ever seen in my life. These minons of the rich and powerful also coined the term liberal and that's horse shit too.

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.

Why do Republicans push for discrimination at the national level? Republicans fought against rights for women and blacks. Now gays. Why do Republicans fear gays?

I think the ones that bark about it the most are the ones that are the most curious.  Heck, the republican party is seeing so much grief about it with their people.  If they don't like gays and lesbians so much, heck why do they have a VP with a lesbian daughter?  Well damn, that will make u scratch ur head.

Just look at the headlines today. Makes me laugh so hard I might pee my pants. Almost every person mentioned has a tie to the republicans and they are either having gay sex and taking drugs or stealing from the country.

President Bush is the Liberal with his illegal immigration and spending programs. Since the Amish are what a true Conservative is, there is no apparent connection to the present Republican party nowadays. So using the term Liberal really is talking about everybody that isn't Amish to a degree. I am not Amish, I like the toys and the boys. Most Republicans do too. That is just language coming from Rush Limbaugh who too is a Liberal with all of his millions, it doesn't mean anything to anybody.

Because the GOP has been more successful than the Democrats at using social issues to attract people - most who wouldn't benefit from Republican economic policies. \n\nPeople do vote against their economic self-interest, if they have a compelling enough reason. Last election cycle, the GOP made it imperative to include a gay marriage initiative on most ballots. This was their main focus, and it caused people who hated gay marriage to vote, often for the Republican party. \n\nAnother example was under the first Bush, who made flag-burning a political issue - it was an unsuccessful attempt to turn out morally conscious people to vote for the GOP, even if under close inspection, their economic policies would not have directly benefited them as much as rich voters.

The image that I think of when I hear "republican" is pedophilia, religious, or 'in the closet" rather than racist.

this is yet another pitiful attempt by the republican party to earn favor with gay men. who reads GQ? a few clueless straight guys and a bunch of homosexuals. this should make you laugh! the republican  party is littered with a bunch of latent homosexuals tiring to curry support after that whole gay marriage thing. \nhave the republicans really dropped so low that they must issue an article of such stupidity? that like the catholic priest stating they don't prefer altar boys!\ni guess that the GOP has new meaning.\nGROSS OLD PERVERTS!!!!!!!!
