Oxy-Moron Alert!
So they're "re-grouping" huh? For what? They voted for demoncRAT sKerry.
I assume this is about how these issues affect gays? Are they looking to get something out of the SS Reform package?
I used to think so what about them. Now I see why Bush should have never met with them in the first place. It seemed harmless, but it is never harmless when someone's reason for existing is contrary to your core values.
Actually they didn't endorse Kerry - they didn't endorse Bush either. But its the same thing as endorsing Kerry in my opinion!
I think these guys actually disagree on only one issue..they are fiscally sound, pro gun, small gov't, blah blah blah.....we can disagree on the issue of gay marriage and still except their views and support on issues we agree upon.......can't we?
Queerdom is a cancer that once tolerated will certainly destroy it's host. The Republican party will go down in the "Anals" (yep, that's the word I want) of history to demonstrate how disasterous Political Correctness can become. It's the "camel's nose under the tent" syndrome and the rest will surely follow.
What the hell is wrong with these spineless Republicans?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this the same group that supported Kerry and bashed Bush during the election? They are interested in one issue. Gay marriage. They split with the President when it counted, proving they are not dedicated to conservatism but their one pet issue. I believe they even ostracized some that didn't go along with the leadership against Bush in Florida?
Tammy Bruce is a woman I respect. I don't respect this group.
I have looked it up and they did not back Kerry but they did withhold their support for Bush. In otherwords they didn't back either candidate.
I was thinking the same:
Gay: Ones who like it up the a**
Conservative: Favoring traditional views and values
or
Gay: Showing or characterized by cheerfulness and lighthearted excitement; merry
Conservative: Favoring traditional views and values
The least conservative homosexuals could do is admit they co-opted the word gay, avoid its use, and call themselves "Homosexual Conservatives" -- that would be a much more conservative label.
Tammy Bruce holds pretty much the same views as the Log Cabin guys.....you are right in that gay marriage is very important to them, but they are also very strong fiscal conservatives. I of course don't agree at all on their lifestyle but they have supported Repubs before....I say use any ally you can when appropriate without compromsing your principles......

Not backing G.W. is the same as backing kerry essentially.
What the hell were the Log Cabin pervs and the ACLU doing at CPAC?????
TAIL BETWEEN THEIR LEGS BUMP! (Something they're used to)
Gay conservatives are less than 1% of the population. Why do they get so much attention?
If you want on/off the ping list see my profile page.
No, Tammy bruce did not withhold support from the president over ONE issue. Tammy Bruce did not accuse the president of using Dick Cheney's daughter to advance a political agenda. They did.
In practice Tammy Bruce is a true Republican with character. This group isn't.
They are activists interested in one issue and when it is denied to them they part ways.
you are right....she didn't and that is why I admire her, I just meant that their issues are the same but I guess their priorities are different.....I tend to embrace (LOL, not literally) people who ally on alot of issues.....I don't want them at my family values seminar, but I would illicit their help if it meets a certain ends (no pun intended)
i have nothing against Homos for Bush.
