1. Ha! No kidding.

At what point do you just get tired of fighting for a place at a table when NO ONE wants you there? And the food is poisonous? And the waiters all have knives to stab you in the back?

I just don't get it.

3. Who cares what that child molester says

Oh sure, her lawyer managed to get the sex charges dropped against her, but she still have the other felony charge (child endangerment) and a misdemeanor (inflicting injury on a child).

And like other child abusers with good lawyers, she got away with no jail time.

But as far as I'm concerned she should shut up about other people's beliefs and lives.

6. Her past actions

Are not in question here, what she said is truthful. Why does anyone support a group that goes out of its way to render them second class citizens. The LCR would be better off as conservative Democrats.

"But as far as I'm concerned she should shut up about other people's beliefs and lives."

Not a big believer in the First Amendment are you?

14. Maybe because the sex charges were false

The other charges were wholy unrelated to sexual abuse (it had to do with driving while intoxicated with a child in the vehicle)

16. Don't you know that an accusation is the same as a conviction?

You DO live in the US, don't you? :-)

15. So...how do you have over 200 posts?

Have any of them addressed someone else's belief and/or life? It only seems appropriate that you wouldn't say one person shouldn't speak up while you are able to do so. Last time I checked, even criminals still have the right to speak their minds.

4. lol - she's funny

I wonder what kind of self-loathing goes on in the mind of a log-cabin republican.

I actually know one - she grew up in a republican house and just chooses to ignore their hypocrisy. I helped her decide to come out a few years ago, I haven't talked to her in a while, I wonder how she feels about the Anti-gay Amendment?

them."

It's one of the eternal questions: Why would ANY minority -----Hispanic, Black, Gay, or whomever --------want to identify with a group that detests them and who would exterminate them if they thought they could get away with it.

13. One of my closest high school friends was one

He even wore a John Deere style "W - Farm and Ranch Team" baseball hat out with me and my friends in AUSTIN in the summer of 2004.

He has since seen the real light and become a Democrat.

For him, it was about preppy credibilty. He likes polo. :shrug:
