Republican candidate calls opponent homosexual

[Conan71]

Lugar's from Indiana.  Bugger off.

What happened? Did you and Dick finally break it off?

[rwarn17588]

Drop a few more names, Ruf, while pontificating out of your arse, come on, I know you can do it.  Don't forget Illinois' third Senator, Dick Lugar!

No self-respecting Illinoisan would ever claim a Hoosier, no matter how smart or pragmatic he is. 

It's a common thing for Illinoisans, when they're crossing the border into Indiana, to exclaim: "All of a sudden I feel ... smarter!" Indiana is considered barely a step up from backwards-a** Kentucky in that region.

Wait a minute.  Mark Kirk is gay?  I thought if it played in Peoria....?
So, how's your gaydar, azbadpuppy?

Honestly, I think 'Gay Republicans' are an oxymoron, and should be considered completely unnatural and immoral. It's disgusting, really.

However there are too many closet cases in the GOP to even count, ironically, so it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

So then all gays should register Democrat?

Quite a few closet heteros registered as Democrats, I suspect 

Where have you been hiding out lately?  It's been good to have some fresh blood injected into our discussions and get things more active again, even if you are completely wrong...LOL!

[we vs us]

So then all gays should register Democrat?

Pretty much.

Otherwise they're just voting against their interests.  And even if they register D, there's no guarantee they're getting quality representation.

Not necessarily. There are those Log Cabin guys, but they are a strange breed indeed. Personally I feel it brings self-loathing to a new level, but hey, whatever floats your big gay boat!

Touche!

I think us gays should form our own party, since we do parties so well after all...

[Conan71]

Really?? What qualifies you to speak for what all homosexual's political preferences should be?  Are you implying their only interest as an American citizen should be gay marriage?

Isn't that the truth....see current administration for examples.

I am trying to hold off for a bit to make a true judgement call but so far, pretty lackluster on the civil rights issues with the exception of the Matthew Shepard Act being passed.

That should at least make the conservatives happy if nothing else.

The administration also lifted the HIV ban for international travel -- a relic from the Jesse Helms days.

Window dressing.  And in case you weren't aware, HIV is not exclusively a homosexual issue.

Nailed it. It's not possible that a homosexual would be opposed to fiscal restraint, strong military/proactive foreign policy, or be anti-abortion. Azpup's position is nothing but stereotypical ignorance.

I want special rights for straight people of mixed European descent.  Pretty soon (if not already around here) I will be a minority.  I better start my campaign now.

Let me know when you have the HQ open and get the slush fund started, I'm in the same boat.  Actually mostly Anglo though so perhaps I should start my own SIG, my rights should supercede yours since the UK is closer.
