Log Cabin Republicans-Gay Conservatives to Work With GOP anti gay marriage

[papau]

The Log Cabin Republicans are regrouping after an election suggesting a national consensus against gay marriage has broadened the group's legislative goals this year. The Cabiners are reaching out to conservative organizations and vowing to be a partner with the Bush Administration.

The group, which claims thousands of dues-paying members, paid at least $3,000 to co-sponsor the Conservative Political Action Conference, marking the first time a gay rights group has been officially recognized by the nation's annual gathering of conservative activists. They've also begun to lobby members of Congress about Social Security reform, changes to the tax code, and immigration.

Gay Conservatives to Work With GOPLog Cabin Republicans Attend Conservative Conference With Hopes of Working With GOP
By MARC AMBINDER

Feb. 20, 2005 — The Log Cabin Republicans, a lobbying group for gay Republicans, is regrouping after an election proved a national consensus against gay marriage has broadened its legislative goals this year. The group is reaching out to conservative organizations and vowing to be a partner with the Bush administration. <snip>

Last year, the Log Cabin Republicans declined to endorse Bush's re-election because the president had campaigned to amend the Constitution to prohibit same-sex marriages. They lobbied hard to have the GOP remove the amendment from its platform before the Republican National Convention, but lost that battle as well.

<snip>Barron said the Log Cabin members are "incredibly conservative" about taxes, national defense and Social Security. The group's Washington office keeps in close contact with the White House and the Republican National Committee.

On Friday, the Log Cabin Republicans sent out a press statement praising Sens. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., and Bill Nelson, D-Fla., for introducing a proposal to permanently rescind estate taxes. In the release, Barron wrote that " majority of Americans support permanent repeal of the economically unsound death tax which unfairly penalizes gay and lesbian families." Both Kyl and Nelson oppose same-sex marriage. <snip>

1. I hate these motherfuckers.

I really do. A bunch of ass-kissers and boot-lickers, every last one of them.

"We can't get married? Okey dokey. You won the election, George. Let's talk about Social Security instead. Please sir, may I have another".

It never fucking ends with these guys. Pathetic pieces of shit, every wingtip-wearing fucking one of them.

2. Hell, I'm incredibly conservative about taxes, national defense and

Social Security.

Taxes - keep them fair, end loopholes to special interest groups (like the wealthy that keep buying off our politicians)

National Defense - We need a strong national defense so we aren't attacked here (so quit starting oil wars around the world and bring our troops home where they are safe and can do some good)

Social Security - It's in trouble and needs to be fixed (And it got "fixed" during St Ronnie's reign, with a tax increase, and our greedy politicians couldn't keep their fingers out of the pot and stole our retirement money to pay for their wasteful spending)


Smaller Gov't - We don't need so many intrusive government functions
(so keep your gov't out of my bedroom, I ain't hurting a soul)

Wow, I guess I'm a conservative after all...

5. Isn't It Funny......

That these cocksuckers enjoy every right that Democrats have fought for......

Then spit in everyones face.......

I say if they are "REAL REPUBLICANS"... tow the line... give up the rights that the filthy Demos got for you!

They are disliked by all sides.... but no one could loathe them more, than they hate themselves.....

Dirty Sewer Dwelling Bastards........

6. I want to get angry about this. . .

I really, really do want to get angry with this.

Then I see gay activists giving money and campaign resources to Democrat Stephanie Herseth, who has worked hard against gay people for years and co-sponsored the anti-gay amendment. They claim that people are "selfish" for demanding they not support her over her marriage stance.

Then I get the temptation to say "to hell with it all, both sides are dishonest." And I see nothing changing in that regard.
