He’ll get cash but not votes.
Unless he is planning on buying them, of course.

“Unless he is planning on buying them, of course.”

Money manufactures votes, buys thugs to hang around polling places, and bribes officials to count them a certain way. Corruption at work....

>>>”Gays are the next Jews of fundraising,” declared Rahm Emanuel, who is now an Obama confidant, while hustling for donors for Bill Clinton back in 1992.<<<

Which means that the Democrats will treat gays as useful idiots, taking their money and their votes, all the while mistreating them and ignoring them until election times roll around... gee, just like Obama promising that he’s in favor of gay marriage while really not doing anything about it.

Translation: He’s queer as a three dollar bill himself, but Obama could give a flying fiddler’s damn about you, gays.

It’s ALL about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$........period. End of discussion.

"Gays are the next Jews of fundraising,"

Based on the article's names, I would say "gay Jews" are the next Jews, since about 75% of those listed are also Jewish, including Tobias and Susman (and the unmentioned massive Obama 2008 donor David Geffen).

He has officially been outed by the media he adores so much, and that pay homage to him/her.

Where Bathhouse Barry has miscalculated is none of those homos live in suburban Ohio, Colorado, North Carolina, etc. If he and his allies keep calling them bigots on a daily basis he is going to lose in a landslide in November. Nobody likes to be called a bigot and right now the meme is if you don’t support homo marriage you are a bigot. 31 states have already passed bans on gay marriage. Middle America ain’t buying what the dims are selling. I am not sure why they continue to pound us with that insult because it is electoral suicide.

Let’s just look at how incredibly stupid this strategy really is.

First, the Dims have fallen into their own trap. The uber-liberal media have done a superb job over the years (TV, movies, etc.) in portraying gays as the loveable fall guy, the funny foil, the nice guy in sitcoms and movies. They’re funny but harmless, right?

So....now that they feel America has fallen for this schtick (witness Biden’s strong reference to the abysmal “Will and Grace” sitcom), they feel it’s time to swoop in for the kill.

One little problem. Gays make up far less than 2% of the American population....that’s less than TWO percent. This means that 98 out of every 100 Americans are heterosexual; you know, as God made us to be.

This means that the Dims are catering to that 1-2% at the expense of support from a huge chunk of the remaining 98%.

Look, I’m no political genius....but I have nearly 30 years in sales, marketing, and business development. I can tell you flat out that this is BEYOND stupid. It belies an agenda that says “truth or reality be damned, full speed ahead!!!!”.

It’s more than suicidal.....it’s beyond idiotic.

I attended my daughter's graduation from UNC Chapel Hill today. Micheal Blumberg was the speaker. His remarks were pretty harmless except for his point that the “vote last week shows how much work needs to be done”.
I don't live in North Carolina. If I did, though, I would be insulted that these outsiders show up in Chapel Hill and start telling everyone how things should be. It is patronizing and disgusting. There were at least 3 mentions of the amendment last week in the remarks of those speaking. ( we went to other ceremonies last in the day.
One speaker at my daughter's major in Global Studies was particularly bad- very political and poorly informed. My sons all said “ Ger the hook!”

When virtually every vote on the issue has produced a 60/40 margin, it is both suicidal and idiotic to play to the short side of that equation.

But wait, that would really enrage your muslim buddies.

What a predicament he is in.

"Gays are the next Jews of fundraising," declared Rahm Emanuel..

He's right: gays have no kids to look after, and they've moved steadily up the ladder. I daresay no other demographic has the expendable income that they have. But-- I don't imagine they're that different from us when it comes to their money.

Mayhaps Obama is trying to solidify the 1/10th of 1% as he heads into the election....

Dims overplaying their hand? Whodathunkit! They think they can manage the issue and make it go away. But I think this is too juicy for the MSM to let up.

I don't like the distractions from the economy except in this case. Let the dems spend as much time as they want proclaiming themselves the pro gay marriage party. They just can't help themselves and all that homo passive aggressive stuff comes out; calling us hateful, bigoted, etc. That dim hubris is what will sink them.

"That dim hubris is what will sink them."

Nailed it.

Their arrogance has convinced them that they can play both sides at the same time: milk the gays for cash (they don't give a s**t about them, one iota) while continuing the "Hopey Changey", "Forward" crap piled upon the middle class.

It ain't sellin'.

Obama and his handlers, may God have mercy on their souls, got away with this crap in 2007-2008. Not this time. Too many see that this little Muslim, homosexual, Marxist, fabricated-out-of-whole-cloth idiot is bad news for this country on every front, foreign and domestic.

His butt-kissing handlers won't acknowledge this...and it will prove to be their undoing.

And if “life styles” truly becomes an issue under Obamacare (hopefully overturned), i.e., eating habits, and other unhealthy risks, God help the homosexuals and their life styles. They need to realize that Obama is not president for life, nor the liberals in Congress. Not very “forward” thinking IMO.
