Number one, McClintock is not "anti-gay". Denying people who engage in perverse, self-destructive behavior special rights because of their behavior is not anti-gay.
Number two, no quarter should be given by any Republican to someone who will vote against someone who is "pro-life". Anyone who is hell-bent upon murdering children or enabling that murder is not to be courted for their vote. We should not negotiate with terrorists or their like.
Indeed? That's funny - he sure accepts money quickly enough from people who are.

2. Fieldstead & Co., which is headed by Orange County financier Howard Ahmanson Jr.: $190,000
One of Mr. Ahmanson's more ... interesting ... quotes :
"My purpose is total integration of biblical law into our lives."
Ahmanson inherited his money from his father, owner of Home Savings & Loan ... during the S&L scandal of the Reagan years, Home's investors, mostly small family investments, lost over $150 million dollars. No one went to jail."
More information about Mr. Ahmanson:
"Howard Ahmanson was a board member of the Chalcedon Institute for 23 years. This organization wants the government to adhere to biblical law, which, includes among other things, the killing of all gays and lesbians."

"The group's biggest bankroller (both to campaigns and major conservative organizations) is Howard Ahmanson, who with his wife Roberta contributed nearly $2 million to various causes and candidates in 1992 alone. This is significant in part because Ahmanson is a longtime director of a theocratic think tank, the Chalcedon Foundation. The Chalcedon Foundation and its founder, R.J. Rushdoony, call for the abolition of democracy and the installation of a theocratic republic under "Biblical Law." The Chalcedon Foundation's theocratic agenda includes, among other things, capital punishment for such religious offenses as blasphemy, heresy, and apostasy, as well as abortion, adultery, and homosexuality."
And they say there is no American Taliban.
