Gay conservative group reaches out to Bachmann
Michele, not Marcus. :P



http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/gay-conservative-group-reaches-bachmann-165236299.html

As gay-issue advocacy groups increase pressure on Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann over her views about homosexuality, the gay conservative group GOProud is requesting a meeting with the Republican presidential candidate to possibly lend a hand.

GOProud Executive Director Jimmy LaSalvia said that representatives with the organization have already met with some of the GOP candidates to discuss GOProud's legislative agenda--including a commitment to defeat a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, which Bachmann supports--and they hope Bachmann will grant them some face time.

"We have requested a meeting with Michele Bachmann," LaSalvia told The Ticket. "We've made this request, as with the other requests, in good faith." He said GOProud officials intend to "discuss issues important to gay conservatives" with Bachmann and "anything she wishes to talk about."

The confab between GOProud and Bachmann is not as unlikely as it might seem at first blush. GOProud's website lists 10 legislative priorities, and only one--the opposition to a federal marriage amendment--concerns gay rights. The other nine focus on issues that could appear on any conservative group's website, such as lower taxes, support for Second Amendment rights and repealing the 2010 health care law.

Where does this GOProud have its meetings??

1. Gay Conservatives?
Fuck them, they are worst then the regular every day tea baggers because they support the people who would gladly see them dead.

2. Chickens who vote for Colonel Sanders.
African-Americans applying for KKK membership.

Completely inexplicable.

3. I don't know whether to laugh or laugh harder.
Bachmann is a highly functioning nutjob. Didn't I read some story that she was "terrorized" by some lesbians who simply wanted to open a discussion with her?

8. That was a different incident.
Your photo shows her lurking behind a hedge, watching a gay pride rally. She didn't want the gay people to see her, apparently.

12. Look closer. She's not lurking, she's squatting. Perhaps she
did think she was in a bathroom.








(for the impaired)


:sarcasm:

5. These conservatives, bachmann and the like, are not rationale people. They
would as soon see you dead or would put you into concentration camps if they could.
