Log Cabinites Go After Romney
The Log Cabin Republicans aren’t having any of Mitt Romney’s shifty bullshit.
The gay conservatives released this video highlighting some of Romney’s more “left” positions, including supporting Roe v Wade. One thing the commercial does not mention, however, is Romney’s ever-shifting, not quite coherent gay stance. Via the AP:
Though placed by a gay rights advocacy group, the ad is silent on Romney’s views of homosexuality. Lately Romney has been running a radio ad casting himself as the only major GOP candidate backing a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage. His critics have argued that his views were not as definitive when he was Massachusetts governor.“The bottom line is this is much more than about gay rights,” Log Cabin President Patrick Sammon said in an interview. “He has been all over the map on every single issue. He quite frankly hasn’t credibly explained his shifting positions.”
We’re totally fine with the Cabinites neglecting Romney’s gay positions. Highlighting his pro-choice and anti-gun past will resonate with red state voters more than his fagala flip-flops.
Romney: “Damn you to Hell, YouTube! I hate you, Internet!”
Romney is worse that Bush and the Loghead quislings are marginalized and pathetic. For now it’s unlikely he or nnay Republican and win.
Unless something extraordinary happens the Republicans’ are going to lose big next year. There are two reasons they’re in trouble; George Bush and George Bush. They’re clearly losing their attempted oil piracy in Iraq so they’ve cooked up scheme to widen it to include Iran. Nixon made the same fatal mistake when he invaded Cambodia. He killed 800,000 civilians, enraged the American people, and lost control of US troops.
On the home front Bush bashes the health care of babies and children and threatens to veto any law even remotely supportive of equality. Republicans are squirming to distance themselves and to make matters worse their old standby – gay bashing – has lost some of its punch.
As Der Gubernator recently said, “In movie terms, we are dying at the box office.” Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R), quoted by the Los Angeles Times, on the state of the Republican Party.
The only thing Republicans have going for them is the Democrats’ deceit. They promised to end the war but instead they fund it and support broadening it. They’re funding permanent bases including an immense colonial fortress in the Green Zone and a huge USAF base at Balad. They voted with Republicans to order the Iraqis to divide their country and to turn over its oil assets to American companies. They’re for an attack on Iran. They tried (hopefully unsuccessfully) to gut ENDA. They’ve done little or nothing to help union workers or the elderly. Their feeble minimum wage law is a slap in the face.
They’re the best and only chance the Republicans have for winning.
