GayWired.com Endorses Ron Paul on the GOP Side

http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&tab=wn&ned=&q=gay+endorsement">He's in good company, as http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&tab=wn&q=gay+endorsement+gaywired">Hillary Rodham Clinton also earned this critical endorsement on the Democratic side.

... so many LGBT groups wield their influence and give voice to their thoughts this cycle.

GayWired.com will cause me to take a good hard look at Ron Paul and Hillary Clinton now.

- Dave

... and clearly she's a smart choice. So, surely, I should also see what the pre-eminent gay/tech/plugged-in-politico outlet has to say about Ron Paul, too?

- Dave

Makes me even less likely (if that is possible) to support their Democratic choice. Crimeny, what criteria are they using to determine who they will endorse? The candidate's support among neo-Nazis and Talibangelicals?

What evidence makes Ron Paul a known racist?

For a century after the Civil War, "states' rights" was synonymous with Jim Crow and anti-miscegenation laws. It has since become the rallying cry of all who want to overturn a long laundry list of right-wing thorns, including a woman's right to make decisions about her own body, anti-discrimination legislation and Supreme Court ruling which forbid the use of government or public schools for religious indoctrination.

I will concede that I have no evidence of Paul being a racist, but consider: The vast majority of people who sqawk about "states' rights" do so to promote a far right wing agenda which includes racism, sexism, bigotry and theocracy. Paul is on the record as opposing a woman's right to abortion, and has openly declared that his stand on state's rights is a tactic to overthrow Roe v. Wade and other "meddlesome interference" by the federal government. That declaration is exactly the same one used by racists in decrying federal laws such as those which prohibit discrimination because of race.

You might find http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=2798162&mesg_id=2798371">this post of interest on the subject of "states' rights."

Hillary's bus is titled "http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=gay+rights+states%27+rights+hillary">States' Rights Express," and gays can prepare to be backed over - again.

See her videotaped comments at the VisibleVote forum, paying neo-con lip service to states' rights.

PUKE.

- Dave

There is no need to lie about them to make them look worse. In fact, lying about them could do us more harm then them.

Please, be specific.

There is no evidence that he is a racist. Believing in state rights does not mean that you think that one race is better than another. This would be like saying that all Christians like slavery because so many have in the past.

Some Thoughts on John McCain
Posted by GayPatriotWest at 6:44 pm - January 30, 2008.
Filed under: Conservative Ideas, 2008 Presidential Politics

Should John McCain win the Republican presidential nomination, I will vote for him this fall. While we conservatives may grumble that he has betrayed us on any number of issues, Dick Morris put it best when he wrote, “if a failure to win means the election of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), the stakes are too high to ignore the issue of political practicality in making a choice.“

Last week, when I was working my endorsement of then-presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani, I went back over my posts on the 2008 presidential election and noted how the further back I went, the more my animosity against John McCain grew. In the most recent posts, I found myself warming to the man whose candidacy I had written off in this post. He stood up to the media (particularly CNN) and refused to apologize for a supporter using the b-word to define Ms. Hillary. And I noted how he looked good in Republican candidates’ debate at the Reagan library in May.

Thanks for the link.

I also found it interesting how some tried to sneak in the group's endorsement of Hillary, without the full disclosure on the "other" endorsement.

; )

- Dave

... on a few I know.

:rofl:

- Dave

who calls Hilary a bitch...what a great reason to decide to what for someone.

Who is this fucking idot gay patriot anyway?

... is a piece of work, all right.

Too bad so much of the best of the worst info I have on him is verboten here, since it also implicates the Chosen One.
