“I’m a former lefty and I don’t understand GOP politics all that well. In fact, I don’t really care to understand GOP politics all that well.” Statement by the author Nicole Coulter.
This is the stupidest article I have read in a long time. And I have read some pretty dumb ones lately.
The author starts with an idiotic quote from an unidentified (and probably nonexistent) source. She then goes off on a tangent inventing a cat fight and then she rattles off all kinds of silly gossip. Finally she states she really is a “former lefty” and doesn't understand what she is talking about.
Please spare us this inane gossip and stupid comments.
So far, I’m really enjoying this catfight between you and Eternal Vigilance.
As a skinny disabled vet, I’m damn glad you are here.
I can understand why they would be at odds, they essentially appeal to the same demographics for their core constituents.
Gays are 4% of the population.
Jews are 2% of the population.
Muslims are 1-2% of the population.
Catholics are around 25% of the population.
Based on these numbers, I would not try to appeal to gays at the risk of offending Catholics.
The problem with even pretending to be nice to gay Republicans is that they’re going to be constantly whining about gay stuff, constantly pushing for us to blend our position with the Democrats. It’s nice enough to say “oh, but they just happen to be gay, they support all of our agenda otherwise.” And we can’t appeal to lower middle class, blue collar Catholic Democrats because our strongest draw with them was our clear advantage on traditional moral issues.
Think of this. What would happen if we said “Homosex is a mental illness and science is unclear on what causes it, but evidence points to hormones. We need to study those homones
and work on a cure through medical means. As a matter of public policy, it is simply not a good idea to encourage extinctionary behaviors. It’s a mental illness, much like depression, which can be remedied with a simple pill which Merck (see Guardisil / Perry) Perry can say “I’m giving Merck $1 Billion dollars upfront for a medical cure to gay”.
Start with “stop drinking soy milk”. Ban anything that is thought to cause gay, like certain plastics or plastic components.
Marcus is going to prove a fatal problem, but he is opening up again the idea of curing gay. Prayer doesn’t seem to be working all that well with him. And truthfully, there are some people out there who think it’s a missed opportunity to start seriously talking about curing gay, when the guy talking about curing gay thinks that prayer works better than science when clearly it’s not working as well with him as one would think science might be able to do if we put forth a big War on Gay.
There’s always been a cure for “gay.”
It’s called “repent.”
Have you seen the video of Marcus Bachmann, the audio, any pictures? You know that story that’s coming sometime, certainly if Bachmann wins the nomination.
I’m talking about a full cure. There’s probably some biological component to it.
This is conduct, that if everyone did it, would cause the exinction of humanity in less than 120 years.
So, you know, it’s not just a moral problem, it’s a societal problem, that could be solved with science, because it’s not just another thing, like marijuana, that bothers some people, but it’s an extinctionary behavior, and that’s a serious serious problem.
Catholics already vote democrat.
Some Catholics vote Democrat, some vote Republican, and they’re a very very large group. With the proper moral values, we can move a significant number of them to vote for us. LePage did great with Catholics in Maine. He’s a tea party Conservative. He didn’t get country club republicans, he got catholic working class dems. And he won in a 3 way race with a liberal dem (who got 19%) and an establishment dem/indy (2 points less than LePage). We won that because they liked his ethnicity and his religion. I’d like more Catholics on board, and fewer mentally ill people who want to be celebrated for their sodomy. Blacks and hispanics will appreciate our stance as well. Gays are just not popular, and the people who like gays are almost all Democrats. Republicans typically are not as fond of the gays. If the Republican Party is trying to devise a systematic way to get Republican voters to hate Republican candidates, it’s to embrace gayness.
So, gays are 4% of the population.
Catholics are 24%. How do we get as many Catholic votes as gay votes we lose.
Let’s assume all the gays are voting for us. And we want to give all the gay votes, gay strategists, to the Democrats. We can just trade, maybe. We’ll keep paying their salaries,
put they work for Democrats, they call themselves Democrats, and we never talk to them again. We can take Chris Matthews. He at least understands white working class Catholics. Here’s a list of conservatives Chris, pick one out that the white working class Catholics will like. We won’t have to worry about offending gays with our message.
Ok, so we have an 8 point swing.
Let’s say the Catholics currently get 75% and we get 25%
That’s 18% of Catholics to Dems, and 6% to Reps. How can we make up for the loss of 8 points of gay votes.
Well, if we go from 75/25 to 50/50 with Catholics we make up
12 points. Dems would lose 6 points and we’d make up 6 points 12/12.
There are just many many more Catholic votes than gay votes, and that’s the vote you want. Skip the gays entirely.
