Not unlike a "flash / bang" lobbed in order to obtain or re-obtain the initiative, the right-wing has learned that if, on occasion, they shout, "Gay Republican! Look out!" the Left will be momentarily off-guard, as they are required to consult their Inner Political Correctness gauge, and this sends them into a brief recursive loop, based on Cognitive Dissonance, because of trying to hold in their minds both the mercy towards gays and the frustration with Republicans.

That goes both ways, Noumenon, when gay-hating republicans find a gay republican in their midst, it therefore becomes a golden opportunity for the democrats to expose the hypocracy of the christian right-wing conservatives. As a result you have frustrated republicans with the option of acknowledging that the democrats are right about the republican hypocracy, or defending said gay republican and providing more ammo for the democrat bead. In the latter option, you have a situation where republicans state something along the lines of "What does him being gay have to do with it?". A truly metrosexual moment for the baccy spittin', truck drivin', ball game watchin' tough guys.

Of course, secretly the republicans initiate talks with said gay republican on the correct procedure to have him cured of his "faggotry".

Here's the scary thing folks, there are far more gay Republicans than we will ever know about. They keep their "abnormal" proclivities hidden from the public's eye while pushing their moralist agenda down the throats of the many. They get in YOUR face and tell YOU how YOU should behave and then crawl off to engage in their own destructive behaviors secretly. THAT is what I see as being dangerous, if not downright creepy. The moralist/stealth gay. There is something wrong there. There's nothing creepy about someone who says they're gay, or gay Republican or gay Democrat. There is something terribly wrong, though, with someone bashing it while hiding it. And that is what these folks are. J. EDGAR HOOVER, anyone? HITLER's HENCHMEN?

As long as Dems roll out candidates like Gore and Kerry, I have no choice but to vote for ANY Republican. Gore makes Gerald Ford look like a genius, and Kerry, well, he and Gore ought to find an unknown island somewhere and start a race of idiots. The only problem is they would be too stupid to figure out how to survive.

I am NOT a Republican. I am an Independant, near-Libertarian, and that does not mean I don't have strong beliefs, and it doesn't mean I'm a waffler. I have social and environmental awareness, but I'm sick and tired of the radical left dominating the Democratic Party as I am the radical right dominating the Republican Party. Until the Dems figure out that you cannot throw money at social problems and fix anything, and until they understand that this isn't Scandinavia and part of the reason this country was founded was tax REVOLT, I will not vote for ANY Democrat in a national level election.

If you want to insult me because I don't agree with you, that's your right, and frankly, that's exactly what I expect. If you want to discuss this stuff in a truly analytical fashion, you have my respect and admiration. If you take the typical ultra-liberal tack and insult my intelligence or just sling mud at me because I don't see things as you see them, that's too bad.

rofl...like John Kerry would be better... the ididot couldnt even shoot his own goose !...lololol

I'm not sure who you're addressing specifically; but, I'm neither Democrat, nor Liberal.

As for your post, I'm not sure how it relates to the subject being discussed throughout this thread. All comments pertaining to it are welcome, though.
