Will John McCain Turn His Back on Gay Americans?

Of course he'll turn their back on them! Geez! Did you see him sucking the toes of that CPAC crowd after Super Duper Ooper Tuesday? Did you see him say in the debate he was fine with gay marriage, get booed, then 10 minutes later change his stance on where he stood?

How desperate do you have to be to place your hope in John McCain for standing by his duped gay supporters?

The man has changed his position on everything from the Iraq war being won and done quickly, to Bush's tax cuts, to flattering Karl Rove a few days ago and welcoming his advice, to giving speeches at the "universities" of the people he called "agents of intolerance". Log Cabin Republicans are pulling for him to stand by them? Good luck with that! Just don't come looking to me for sympathy afterwards if you do!

I don't give a rat's ass about the LCR or about what they think. They've made their bed, and they've made it quite clear that they're happy there. Fuck them.

Anyone, straight or gay, that votes for McCain is a moron.

Is there a bloodsucking, viper-tongued, lying politician who won't throws gays in a bonfire to get a vote!?

As Xynyx so eloquently stated about the LCR : "Fuck them."
They weren't at Stonewall, and they'd pass McCain a book of matches if he agreed to throw black and brown gays and women on that bonfire.
Like many people, they benefited from the head-bashings that queens like Sylvia Rivera and Marsha Johnson got, compliments of NYPD.
Trust me; the night of the Stonewall riot the likes of the slithering worms who compose the LCR were drinking with GW Bush, the Criminal.

These Brownshirts bring nothing to the gay table.

I guess the LCR is just thrilled when they have a candidate that doesn't want to put them in a concentration camp with pink triangles on.
They're so grateful for that progressive stance!

As has been pointed out elsewhere, the John McCain of 2000 would have probably kept his word. Not this year's model, no matter what happens.

While I applaud the LCR for not automatically siding with the Dems due to sexual orientation and for realizing that, as an independent third party, they would be squashed, I question the wisdom in their continuing to stand by the GOP. Since at least 1980, the Republicans have not been friendly to any considered outside the Moral Majority position. Yet, election after election, the LCR pin their hopes on these people to bring them justice (if anyone can cite an instance in which the LCR didn't, please let me know).

John McCain will simply be the latest misfire in a string of disappointments. He'll use them until they outlive their usefulness. Then they'll be shunted aside. To believe anything else is to smoke from the same crack pipe as the people who think that Iraq was a good idea.

How totally damned sad. He sold his soul today...when he voted in favor of torture! Yup, he's a panderer. How strong the thirst for power is...it overrides the fear of being tortured to death. Never thought he'd turn on that one!

Why would ANY homosexual/bisexual or other belong to the Republican party? The "conservative Republicans" cannot be trusted to protect their rights.

My advice: change your party affiliation NOW!
There is a new breath of fresh air blowing.

I am always absolutely flabbergasted when I hear any gay person or minority say they are a member of the republican political party. DON'T GAYS AND MINORITIES KNOW THAT REPUBLICANS HATE THEM---LONG HISTORY OF THIS HATRED AND DISCRIMINATION---- AND IF THEY COULD GET AWAY WITH IT, REPUBLICANS WOULD BEGIN BUILDING OVENS IN THE UNITED STATES AND STOKING THE FIRES. WAKE UP, FOLKS. Yogi, tucson

"Gay Republicans" -- isn't that an oxymoron? Naw, they're just a bunch of sadomasochistic queens who like to vote for the party of homophobes, religious bigots, and crypto-fascists who'd put them in concentration camps (a la Gomer Shuckabee) with pink triangles on their armbands. Go figure! How sick can you get?

WHO LOOK LIKE ASS ON A BAD DAY ARE HOMOPHOBIC??????? The ego of the straight neandrothal is without comparison. Who the hell are these people dictating what rights a group of people deserve. EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW is a right of ALL citizens! We SAY we believe this, the civil rights era preached it, so many will get on their soap box and scream that America is the greatest country in the world, what a melting pot, land of the free home of the brave, etc. crap and yet small minded, self-loathing people IN PRACTICE keep us in the Dark Ages.

Will John McCain Turn His Back on Gay Americans?

I have a better question:

Why have the Democrats in the US Congress turned their back on gay Americans?

Please list all the gay accomplishments brought by Hillary, Obama, Nancy, Barney and the Democrat Congressional leadership in the past two years. Please be brief. (Looks like you have no choice except to be brief).
