NY Times Outraged Republicans Didn’t Pander To Gays During RNC…
Weasel Zippers ^ | September 3, 2012

Posted on 09/03/2012 6:33:11 AM PDT by NYer

Gays constitute a tiny minority of the U.S. population, less than 2% to be precise.

Excluded From Inclusion – NYT

WHAT the Republicans painstakingly constructed here was meant to look like the biggest of tents. And still they couldn’t spare so much as a sleeping bag’s worth of space for the likes of me.

Women were welcomed. During the prime evening television hours, the convention stage was festooned with them, and when they weren’t at the microphone, they were front and center in men’s remarks. Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney both gushed about their moms in tributes as tactical as they were teary.

Latinos were plentiful and flexed their Spanish — “En América, todo es posible,” said Susana Martinez, the New Mexico governor — despite an “English First” plank in the party’s regressive platform.

And while one preconvention poll suggested that roughly zero percent of African-Americans support Romney, Republicans found several prominent black leaders to testify for him. Condoleezza Rice, the former secretary of state, delivered what will surely be remembered as the convention’s most stirring and substantive remarks, purged of catcalls and devoid of slickly rendered fibs.

But you certainly didn’t see anyone openly gay on the stage in Tampa. More to the point, you didn’t hear mention of gays and lesbians. Scratch that: Mike Huckabee, who has completed a ratings-minded transformation from genial pol to dyspeptic pundit, made a derisive reference to President Obama’s support for same-sex marriage. We were thus allowed a fleeting moment inside the tent, only to be flogged and sent back out into the cold.

If the RNC ignored the faggots and lesbians, I am sure the Democrats will make up for it.

Maybe they will get Larry Sinclair as a guest mystery speaker.

Why do Democrats think it is cool to talk about the gay community all the time?

Because it makes them feel less guilty for their own serial adultery.

I'm glad we didn't hear anything. Let the Dems fill their stage with them. Who are THEY kidding. It's all about votes to the Dems.

Morality is a figment of their imagination....something that doesn't exist...a world of "no conscience".

Kill babies, teach the gay life as being proper....disgusting!!

So they are going to use the convention to bash Romney the straight guy, acting as if there is something wrong with being straight. The Hollywood crowd hates the straight lifestyle. They are in love with the gay lifestyle. How did everything gets so twisted in this country?

so we shoudl give special rights and pander to a small % of people who like feces sex or women pretend to be a guy.

not a chance.

All of us say it loud and often to people,
Marriage is between one man and one woman, family is a mother and a father.

NY City and the north east is not America something which those elitst types up there seem to forget

homosexuals and they are that as they’re not gay shout out the loudest, they got into media and the arts.
Then they use NAZI thuggery against anyone who opposes their mental sickness.

Two lies we hear all the tima and even their trolls on here say this.
Well they won, it;s over.
Er no it is not, the young are not fine with it and I have children and all of them including their friends find it sick , their friends of my kids friends too.

The other lie is how they try and make it out they are bigger % wise than tey are.

Also I will also call them what they are and it is not gay, they use that word to make it sound their agenda is happy etc,
They’re homosexuals plain and simple and if they do not like the truth then they need ot seek mental help and have natural healthy sex

The majority of mass murderers, from Dahlmer, to John Wayne
Gacy, to Wayne Williams, the list goes on, were sodomites.

“Dr. Charles Socarides, in his classic “The Overt Homosexual” documents that a major attribute of the overt homosexual is aggression – often repressed aggression. This is supported by psychology professor, Dr. Frank du Mas who says that homosexuals often are mass killers who also torture their victims indicating “a higher intensity of aggression.”

Ludwig Tiene was the executioner at Auschwitz, the Nazi prison camp, who was responsible for killing as many as 100 boys and young men per day! He crushed, strangled and gnawed them to death while he raped them”

I was just in Manhattan for the past few days with the family. Just walking down the street there seemed to be a much larger than average concentration of gay men there. Since the left only believes the real country is in the urban centers, they likely have a distorted view of the number of gays and the power they hold over regular ordinary straight people throughout the rest of the country.

Isn’t it enough that they nominated a candidate who’s pandered to gays for most of his political career?

NAIL ON HEAD.

I read that the worst 6 serial killers were all homosexuals or had feelings towards it.

Way I see it homosexuality is a mental sickness and instead of trying to cure these people we have liberal shrinks telling tem it is OK ot be different.

If people really cared about their so called homosexual pals then they woudl help them not encourage tem , we only have to look at where the colon is, where the prostate is feces on their penis.
Look at how they hang out at rest stops, public bathrooms, dog parks,walking trails etc.

A survey just came out saying that a child does much better with a natraul norma, couple than two homosexuals playing family.

The sad part is that we have some on hee and elsewhere in this country saying they have won , we have lost, more younger people support it but that is not true either and the usual ignorant comments of the year goes to those who say”I have two homosexuals friends and they are nice , they just want to be with each other and I have no problem with them “

Guy says he's OK with homosexual scoutmasters in Boy Scouting.

That should lose just about everyone ~ then the adoptions by homosexuals?

Why do you think this guy isn't gay himself?

And probably 90% of that 2% would never vote Republican and even less likely conservative Republican.

If the Democratic party plank includes support for same-sex marriages, Obama's campaign is doomed. People forget that if put to a vote, same-sex marriages are usually voted down by very large margins--even in California!
