I believe it is for Democrat homosexuals. I am certain they are trying to gain influence in their party to compete with the other special interest groups that make it up.
The Log Cabin Republicans seem to believe in most conservative causes such as Iraq and lower taxes. Another observation is homosexual Republicans are usually not effeminate, or acting like the gay-blade most people associate with homosexuals. They tend to be more serious and business like and they do not flaunt their homosexuality.
As Taranto wrote yesterday:
Imagine if Republican activists had gotten wind of Jim McGreevey's homosexuality before he announced it, and had threatened to "out" him in order to hurt Democrats. One suspects the likes of Rogers would have viewed such Republicans as antigay bigots, or at least as panderers to bigotry. But how is what Rogers was proposing to do--expose a gay member of the opposite party in order to hurt that party--any different? (There is nothing in Rogers's blog entry to suggest he was aware of Foley's penchant for congressional pages or anyone who actually was underage.)
Rogers would presumably say that Foley was fair game because he supported policies Rogers thinks are antigay, such as the Defense of Marriage Act. In other words, antigay means are acceptable in the pursuit of pro-gay ends. This is a paradox of identity politics: Politics very often ends up trumping identity.
Are gays infiltrating Republican staffs and campaigns in order to keep Republicans out of office, or to affect legislation? Is there a gay cabal which works against anyone who opposes the gay agenda?
My personal opinion is yes but I have no proof.
I can give you examples of 3 past campaigns which seemed to be tanked by poor management, and the people in charge were involved with the Wilson type people. Am I paranoid, or have I stumbled onto something?
I don't know, but here in CO we have numerous campaigns greatly influenced by our more liberal Republicans, who are claiming conservatives can't win unless candidates appeal to the left. Usually, these candidates lose their elections. I hold the candidate to blame when this happens because it's ultimately their responsibility as to whose advice they take.
What if radical gays decided to disguise themselves and worm into Republican ranks, in order to sabotage campaigns?
Perhaps I should don tin foil, but I do worry about this.
This is why it's important for us to be involved in campaigns and make candidates accountable to the party base. I don't know if some of these people are infiltrators or not but at minimum they are on the left for social issues.
