HRC Prez Blasts Log Cabin McCain Love
 
 


The Republicans are totally dominating the news cycle this week. Not only is everyone all over Sarah Palin and the party's national convention, but the gays simply can't stop talking about the Log Cabin Republicans' endorsement of presidential hopeful John McCain.

We were mad, of course, and then Chris Crain piped up, and now Human Rights Campaign president Joe Solmonese has come out swinging:

John McCain claims to be a maverick who breaks with his party, but on matters of LGBT equality, he's shown that he's anything but. He actively campaigned for a constitutional amendment that would have banned marriage and domestic partnerships for same-sex couples in his home state of Arizona.
…
Sarah Palin has also supported bans on marriage and even domestic partner benefits in Alaska. The Republican Party, McCain and Palin's party, has declared in its platform that they want to pass the federal marriage amendment.

Their party's platform also calls gay and lesbian Americans unfit for military service, supports policies that would allow faith-based organizations to deny us jobs and services using federal dollars, and attacks judges who acknowledge our equality under the law. The Human Rights Campaign endorses mavericks on both sides of the aisle- neither John McCain nor Sarah Palin is among them.

On another note, if Solmonese and Log Cabin leader Patrick Sammon were to get into a fight, who would win?

Why did HRC endorse Joe Lieberman?
Why did HRC give thousands to the Log Cabin Republicans and nothing to the Stonewall Democrats?

Put your money where your mouth is HRC!

Stop donating to HRC until they stop endorsing warmongers and conservative candidates like Susan Collins and Joe Lieberman.

Sammon would lose – he'd be afraid of messing up his make up (did you see how much base he had on in that CNN interview?)

Gay Self loathing republican fags for Maybelline!

It seems that under a President McCain, these things would remain the same, anyway. Faith-based charities already discriminate against gays. HRC is all about raising funds for their own stickers. I am also not shocked that the Log Cabin Republicans endorsed McCain as these are Pocketbook Gays, not Out and Abouters.

Sammon would easily take Solmonese in a fight.
He is much younger and quicker….LOL

The HRC is the Democratic Party's loyal yapping lap-dog. The HRC is yet-another Democratic Natl Committee ATM, push the right buttons and money pours-out…and their claims of nonpartisanship are a joke. ….and I'm supposed to be surprised that they oppose the LCR's position on McCain?

If Mr. Sammon's anything like he is in bed, he'll just lie there. Solmonese by technical knockout.

O God have any of you clowns seen Sammon?
I'm a Democrat but if all log cabins look like him then I'm starting to see the light in more than one way. He WINS! and I want his phone #.
