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.

Because my right to choose is still part of the Democratic platform and it's very much not part of the other side. I spent a lot of time and energy campaigning against Prop 8 before the election... more than many gay people I know.. while I was going to school full time. I sacrificed papers and grades to campaign against it*.

When it comes down to it, in my mind my right to choose will trump your right to get married. I'm selfish like that. I also have confidence that gay marriage will be legal, and soon regardless of who is in office. I'm not so sure Row v. Wade won't be overturned.

So that's how I'll continue to vote for Democrats or liberals.

Before anyone jumps all over me ask yourself what you did to stop Prop 8 from passing, what you would do to protect my right to choose and what's more important to you.

*Luckily my PoliSci teacher gave me an extension after the fact since I was taking part of the political process but I didn't ask before, I emailed him after it was already late.

Well I didn't say I'd be voting for Palin!!!! I'll still vote for the person I think best shares my views. I understand of course that for all intents and purposes you only have a choice between two "real" people but I'm not a Democrat or a Republican. If I "waste" my vote on another candidate am I really being that selfish?

Yes, yes! We could all go together! Then the LoT commune will be one step closer to reality. It's all part of my gay agenda!

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?

Cadaverous Pallor · 10-22-2010, 01:19 PM

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.

Don't forget Iowa legalized gay marriage before we did.

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.

innerSpaceman · 10-22-2010, 02:06 PM

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.
