St.Petersburg Times,

Your gay and gay-friendly ex-subscribers will say much more than I can about this putrid endorsement of Rouson.
Advertisers in your paper will find their gay and gay-friendly patrons become SPARCE if not non-existant.

The Democratic (sic) Party is a cesspool of bigotry.

With Democrats like these who needs Republicans?

Florida is a atate where you take a shit but not stay to eat. The whole Swampy backwater State!

I forget who said it, but this quote contains truth:

The United States has a one-party system with two right wings.

I think you're missing the point that this guy is not a real Democrat. He's a Republican who's jumping from a sinking ship.

The Times is a conservative paper. Therefore, they have the ability to back two Republicans.

Look at Joe Lieberman. He calls himself an "Independent Democrat" but he's really a Republican. He votes with Republicans. He supports Bush. He supports McCain.

"The" -black- "Democratic (sic) Party is a cesspool of bigotry."

Get used to it Homos this guy is along with the others(Donna,Leah) is the new face of the DNC headed by Barack.

Mark, with your kind permission, I would like to send a copy of your post to the St. Petersburg times as well.

I would urge all other Florida residents to write them as well.

We need to make ourselves heard and not just let bigots like this shovel shit onto our heads with objecting.

*without objecting*

CHURCHILL-Y a racist piglet. Lets face it, if his assignment from Swine Central is to haunt US GLBT blogs he can’t be very high on the piggy food chain. And he’s a delusional liar. Most Americans are Euroamericans, most Democrats are Euroamericans and the vast majority of bigots are Euroamericans and superstitious (that's what christist religious cultists are called when when they're not pretending to be respectable). Like CHURCHILL-Y, they're swine. They vote for whoever panders the most.

The Democrats are one of the two parties that will continue and extend the war, ignore the falling standard living of working people and endlessly pander to homophobes, misogynists, opponents of free speech and islamophobic, homophobic racist swine like CHURCHILL-Y.

Obama’s reasons for gleefully hopping into bed with bigots like Mary Mary and the most very Reverend (and formerly gay) Donnie McKulkin are the same reasons that the DNC is run by a bigoted ordained pentecostal minister. Pandering pays and the latest polls show just how well.

The Barna Group poll show that Obama substantially leads McCain among christiers, 43% to 34%. "It is unusual to see such significant movement within the core segments of the Christian community," Barna explained. It’s an incredible turnaround from 2000 and 2004 and it means that Obama pandering strategy is working. But also means that he can’t afford to give to leave the field of bigots to McCain. That in turn explains Obama’s decision to omit all references to the GLBT communities from his platform.

Same old, same old. Bill Clinton did exactly the same in ’96 when he used donated campaign funds to pay for ads on southern superstitious (that’s what religion is called when it’s all dressed up and trying to be respectable) bigoted radio stations like those run by Robertson and Falwell. Obama’s doing it now for the same reason, to pander to bigots.

Tim – here's the full quote from Gore Vidal.

"[t]here is only one party in the United States, the Property Party…and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt—until recently… and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties."

go ahead chuck. sent them a copy

churchlady will you just shut the f*ck up one day with your racist diatribes..ONE F*CKIN DAY!

Thank you, Mark. Your form is great. Few words, but right to the point. ;)
