O – Democrats are the party of DOMA.

O – Democrats talk about repealing Bill Clintons DADT but they’ve controlled Congress since 2006 and haven’t done it because they don’t have the votes in their own party to do it.

O – They did pass hate crimes legislation in both houses but then calculatingly ‘misplaced’ it so it wouldn’t be an issue in the elections.

O – They raped ENDA. The amendments that Barney Frank and the Republicans attached to it gutted what was already a bare bones bill and they deliberately tried to divide the GLBT community, to pit us against one another.

O – They were elected to end the war but they fund it and are for extending it into Iran (Clinton) and Pakistan (Obama).

O – They support NAFTA, a rolling environmental disaster that devastated the economies of Mexico and Central American.

O – Democrats, like Republicans are pro business and favor deregulation and immense tax breaks for the rich. Clintons deregulation program unleashed corporate and banking tigers that feed on working people.

O – Their bipartisan deregulation of banking opened the door for the current crisis in mortgage foreclosure in which John Edwards was in on up to his neck until he got outed by the NY Times.

For GLBT folk support of the Democrats is a political closet and for everyone they’re every bit as much a roadblock to progress as their cousins the Republicans. We have to leave that closet and get on with our own struggles. The next administration, no matter who wins will continue the politics of Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton/Obama/Edwards/Giuliani/McCain. They’re all formed from the same corporate cookie cutter and all laced with toxins as far as our rights are concerned. They’re all unacceptable.
The US political landscape during the next administration will feature widespread political splintering as the groundswell of opposition builds. The constituencies of the twin parties are moving to the left and another dose of lesser evil in the White House will accelerate that trend.

Then Andy T. follows up with a cover story that only a total idiot would believe.

Someone should ask the DNC if they’ve tested the political IQ of gay voters and learned that most are higher than the double digits. Judging from their clumsy yet slimy machinations on gay issues, it seems obvious the Democrats think we’re all stupid.
