The Gay Thread - Page 72

Well, we don't have any democrats to punish in this State's current election cycle (not for slights to gay issues anyway). Barbara Boxer has been a staunch and consistent supporter, and Jerry Brown's practically a gay hero for his bold stand on Prop. 8.

But you have to remember how All-or-Nothing works. Our vote doesn't count towards the total unless we happen to vote for the winner. Sure, if enough people vote for the loser, the loser becomes the winner. But the outcome of presidential elections in California has been a non-surprise for decades. Obama will not be losing to Sarah Palin in 2010 even if every fag in WeHo and San Francisco votes for Palin.

And stop with the Palin already. It's a scare tactic. Since when did she become the Republican nominee rather than the most drastic example people can think of to illustrate a fear point?

You made me look. She was a viable nominee about a year ago. Now, she's probably not, though she's still on the short list. In 2 years, who knows?

Regarding CA - yes, I know. But the more people tout ideas like this, the more they spread to places like Ohio.

Rest assured, while I will not vote for him in the primary, I will hold my nose and vote for him in the general if he wins renomination.

I'd still rather have Him than a Republican in the white house any day.

I'm gonna vote for who ever the cute hottie is in JW's avatar on election day in 2012.

I'm not. I hear he's all for stacking our courts with tops. We need balance.

Nope, sorry - sounds good to me.

Montreal was really, really pretty, with good food, a fun amusement park, wonderful people, and gay marriage. Yes, if Sarah Palin gets elected, we can start Le Bar de Demain (www.loungeoftomorrow.ca)

I know this issue hits very close to home for all of you but take a second to think what those conservatives think about you...and how happy you are making them right now. If Dems lose, you lose even more. Isn't that blatantly obvious??

To me it is an issue of choosing between a liar and a homophobe. If you donated money and spent time to get the liar elected before being lied to, how can you in good conscience vote for him again? That's the Democratic strategy -- it's better to be punched in the face than kicked in the balls. If the Dems lose, we lose what exactly, if neither side is able to help us? Honestly, for financial policy I don't agree with the Dems anyway.
