but if you get to bundle Communism as a 'liberal' ideology, do I get to score points by counting fascism as conservative?
The whole Homos for Demos thing is at the base of it as practical as can be- it's simply much more bang for the buck. In case you forgot, Rove and co. deliberately went out of thier way to demonize gays during the last election cycle- their whole justification for ruling is fear: Boo! OK, so the current White House has hired more gays than Clinton did- there is apearance, and then there is actions- and results. As they say, The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and thats good enough for many.
I'll tll you what's surprising- s'like, why would any sentient being support the current incarnation of America's Republican Party is quite beyond me, unless they happen to be one of those getting to line up at the trough. What exactly can you expect to gain from having this bunch of cronies and criminals in power? Fiscal responsibility in the Federal budget? Reasoned foreign policy? A newfound appreciation for the civil liberties of it's citizenry? Cleaner air & water? OK, taxes are lower (way lower, if your rich)- s'a damned shame that such also came with an 8 trillian dollar bill. Now, if you want to talk about deluded fools...
Corporate welfare is every bit as egregious to my eye as social welfare, and far less useful to the country as whole, in the long run. I don't belive for a second that every gay card should be stamped 'Property of the DNC', and as I told you before, I'd dearly love to have the chance to vote for a nice middle of the road republican, at any level of government. but such opportunities, I fear, is going to be a very long time in coming. Better to stick with the Devil that you know, je?
Is it still surprising? Here's a thread idea I wish that I could do- post 'I am gay and I vote republican because...' If I promise to be really nice and not critique?
maybe you don't
