Gay Republicans Slam Bush:Using WH To Advance Discrimination Is An Insult
Gay Republicans Slam Bush: Using The White House "To Advance Discrimination Is An Insult To Millions Of Fair Minded Americans"...
Log Cabin Republicans | Patrick Guerriero | June 5, 2006 at 06:51 PM

For Immediate Release

An Open Letter to President Bush from Patrick Guerriero

Mr. President,

On behalf of millions of gay and lesbian Americans, I write to denounce your decision to divide the American family by promoting an amendment that would insert discrimination into the United States Constitution. Your decision to use the grounds of the White House--America's House--to advance discrimination is an insult to millions of fair minded Americans from all walks of life.

Mr. President, gay and lesbian Americans pay taxes, contribute to community and family life across our great nation, and worship the same all-loving and compassionate God. Thousands of gay and lesbian Americans, under your command, serve proudly in our nation's military, fighting to win the war on terror and promoting liberty across the globe. Your effort to codify discrimination against our families, including men and women in uniform while the nation is at war, is offensive and unworthy of the office of the Presidency. Great Republican Presidents from Abraham Lincoln to Ronald Reagan have united Americans and appealed to our best hopes, not our worst fears.

6. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they'll vote for the GOP again and
expect something different.

If they want change, they'd better be willing to vote accordingly.

I'll believe they're serious when they quit voting for the likes of Bush.

7. I even saw Mary Cheney on CNN crying about it earlier today
Cry me a river you greedy b@st@rds! You made your bed when you fell in line with those who believe that the "common" person is here just for them to exploit for their own financial benifit. You wanted to be a part of that greed and didn't give a rat's ass that it came on the backs of the same people who fight for YOUR rights on a daily basis. :grr:

8. To the Log Cabin Republicans: Dear Assholes,
You will burn in gay hell (which is a giant Cracker Barrel) for helping to elect these fascist Huns UNLESS you work to end the reign of the GOP in both houses of Congress and the White House. As part of this work you must work to pull every non-reactionary, non-fundamentalist element out of the Republican party until the forces of hate that currently animate the Republican body politic are removed from power and marginalized to the point that they do not and cannot threaten the Constitutional and human rights of every American.

On second thought, never mind. In the second paragraph of that excerpt Ronald Reagan is called a great President who "united Americans and appealed to our best hopes, not our worst fears." There is nothing anyone can do to save those fools.

'gay republicans' by now.
