Gay conservatives are the worst people on earth. Worse than terrorists, telemarketers and Ted Haggard.
They are lickspittles of the most odious kind. I can only hope Miss Hissey and his kind are cursed with the worst arse cancer Mike Huckabee's vicious psychopath of a god can devise. May the Log Cabin collapse upon all of them.
Fuckheads.

Okay, I'm going to get completely blasted here but I agree with an element of what he is saying. Yes, Matty, he is one of the worst people on earth... when he said Sarah Palin the reporter should have whacked him up side the head with that microphone... However I also don't like it when people turn their gay flames on and off. I don't like chameleons who when they are around church people act righteous, with college guys start saying "yo dude", then with gay people start saying "Mary". I appreciate and admire people who are genuine and comfortable with who they are. I particularly admire people who dare to be different because in this neck of the woods that takes courage.

No blasting from here, because the behavior you describe is that of a "hypocrite" and they come in all flavors.
It's about having an authentic voice for any occasion.
With great respect, I think this is bullshit.
In the course of my daily life I deal with representatives of blue collar unions and if you were to observe such meetings you would think me the butchest thing that creation ever shovelled shit into. I have an extremely ocker (look that word up) affectation.
But, when it suits me, I can be one of the Great Flamers. All hairpins and ladies' gloves. And I assert my right to use either style as I see fit.

I should add that I'm totally out of the closet and have been all my life. I've also never hidden my HIV status after diagnosis. Iyamwotiyam.
But just because the some of you Swishy Petes can't dial back the Liza doesn't mean the rest of us have to be so limited.

Two things. First ditto to Matty's thoughts about having an authentic voice for any occasion. And second, I will never understand how any gay or lesbian can vote for a Republican candidate. I don't care how much you agree with their fiscal policies, the Party and the vast majority of it's members are totally against gays and lesbians. Larry Kramer is right on track when he says that they hate us. Log Cabin and GoProud members are disillusioned if they think they are anything other than cocksucking fags to the Republican Party hierarchy.

Here's a question, for those "one issue voters" (of which I am not): if Republicans suddenly embraced gay rights would you start to vote for them, meaning their policies?
It's always been my gut feeling that 50% of gays are only fake liberals by default on that one cock-sucking issue.

Whereas Democrats seem to champion a lot of issues which are important to them to raise votes, but then have no real strong ideas about how to pay for them, because apparently cutting spending/raising taxes are both dirty words. If I could have a look at the national budget I would gut it with a machete.
If I remember correctly the last time we had a balanced budget AND a surplus was during the Clinton administration. Quickly squandered by the Bush administration.It's funny how so many seem to forget this; it's not like it was THAT long ago.

Gay marriage is a niche issue that is used more by the Right to consolidate their voter base than the Left to actually extend civil liberties.
Why would anyone who has ever had a health problem vote Republican? Why would anyone who makes under $250,000 a year vote Republican? Why would anyone who isn't Christian vote Republican? Why would anyone who cares about environmental issues vote Republican (drill, baby, drill!).
That said, I am still completely pissed that Obama and the Democrats caved to Republicans and renewed the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. Why average Americans are not up in arms about that is beyond me. Do people still believe trickle down works? Look around!
Even if the Republican Party valued me as a person we would still disagree on a host of issues...health care, abortion, gun control, views on religion and its non role in government, govt safety regulations, immigration, assistance programs for low income, the tax structure..... I really don't see me ever voting for a Republican.
Authentic being the operative word. Many people aren't.

I am more conservative that at any point in my life. I loathe the far left and the far right equally. I wish there was another political party for those of us with common sense.
What about the Near Left? Are they ok?
MtD
LOL MTD.
That's fair. I consider the ilk of Keith Olbermann as the far, far left. Glenn Beck and Hannity of the far, far right.

There is a strain within the Republican Party that is very attractive -- it is after all the party of Lincoln, while the Democrats were the pro-slavery types. And there are still some Northeastern and Western Republicans who say that they remain Republicans because it is the party of ideas, of markets that give individuals free choices instead of imposed statist requirements.
But the strain seems fainter every year.
getting back to the clip -- would the quote still stand without the word gay? Seemed to me he might not like people generally

I understand what you're saying, but it's non-sensical in the context of today's politics. Republicans began as a progressive party -- "far left" even, especially during Reconstruction with the "Radical Reppublican" wing.
Both parties, pre-Civil Rights era, had liberal factions. Everything changed after that. Have you read "Nixon Land"? Great book.
The idea of a far left is nonsensical. Without mentioning a talking head, give me the political leaders and the policies of this far left you loathe.
One enraging thing about the Republican Party is that indeed it seems to be screwing over a good deal of its own members, and they dont even seem to know it, or they do and rationalize it away. Just the right environment for self deluded gays like the one in the video. Wish everyone would wake up and be a bit more honest.
Seriously. I mean....even going beyond the fact that they have a queer son standing right in front of them, I've been absolutely baffled watching my parents march lockstep with Republicans, apparently in complete agreement about their business and taxation policies all while grandually losing nearly everything they own - and shrieking about nationalized healthcare as they run around frantically trying to still find and afford healthcares for themselves.
I just do not understand.
I have heard things come out of both Olbermann's and Beck's pie-holes that have made me want to vomit. You can take ideology from both sides and come to common ground conclusions that should suit everyone or further the goal of making us a better civilization.
I guess my loathing is more for egotistical reasons than it is the views they espouse. This is my opinion, whether anyone else agrees or disagrees is their own, individual ideological decision. There are loonies on the extreme left and loonies on the extreme right. Period. I am not going to be baited into naming names to create an even greater divide, however, I do agree with some of the analysis on here from others.
OK, but what sort of things have they said that make you want to have a technicolour yawn? Moreover what might some of these "common ground conclusions" be? I, for one, am very keen to know what you lot in the Extreme Centre think should be done to fix our crazy little planet. :)
Indulge yerself! Name and shame, honey! I'll help you to start out:
"Ann Coulter is a complete ****"
You fill in the blanks for us.

Basically if government would ...stop trying to buy it's way out of this economic downturn,
O Captain, my Captain....
I fear if I use subtle hypocrisy as a yardstick, I may not find ANYONE to vote for...or even feel qualified to vote myself.
(And harpy....Ann Coulter is a complete harpy.)
Basically if government would get out of my pants and bedroom, let the church be the church and stop trying to buy it's way out of this economic downturn, I would be satisfied. The expansion of the free markets and not sending our manufacturing base overseas would be nice while letting anyone who wants to get married to marry whomever they wish.

I find this statement a complete insult to hard-working Harpies everywhere. Due to her, ummm, unique(?) personae, I feel we need to invent a word, or term that specifically applies to her. I would like to nominate Matty for this task, as he is easily the most derogatorily eloquent person who I know :)
Agreed. I also quite like the idea of using her name as the meaning of something rather horrid....like we did with Santorum (which can be a bitch to clean out from under the nails).
