		<description>&lt;i&gt;rather than screaming about how bad Obama will be, why not actually show us how McCain would be better &lt;/i&gt;

Because it&#039;s not my job to justify one candidate over the other.

I give both of them an F, and note that it doesn&#039;t matter, from an LGBT perspective, which wins.

Neither will take steps to make equal treatment in marriage, adoption, and military service a privilege.

You can attempt to impose your false dichotomy on voters all you want -- it doesn&#039;t obscure the fact that at the end of the day, both candidates are homophobes, and you&#039;re making excuses for YOUR homophobe.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Get over yourself, Brian. &lt;/i&gt;

Get over YOURself.

I refuse to sell out my constitutional rights as a gay man so that your empty-suited homophobe-who-is-slightly-less-bigoted-than-the-Republican gets in office.

If you want my vote, stop making excuses for homophobia (and heaping abuse on voters), and start working to make your party a supporter of real equality under the law rather than a bastion of bigots and babies.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s interesting how some of us value our privacy, but when it is convenient to bring up a politician&#039;s PERSONAL life to suit our agenda we do.  Why is it that so many of our community worship the Clintons when Bill has cheated numerous times and probably continues to do so.  His treatment of Hillary and her staying with him isn&#039;t denegrating to women? If I blocked out all the bone heads to denegrate women I wouldn&#039;t be living life....no Lance Armstrong, no A Rod, no Eliot Spitzer, etc..</description>

		<description>Yes he does Good Girl,

He left a disfigured wife for a Barbie Doll as that same woman fought to get him release from Nam, He called the current wife and CUNT and offered her up to be a Ms Buffalo Chip contest amongst a bunch drug addict bikers.

And he will prove it. Once his conservative judges are there don&#039;t worry he would defintitely have walked the walk.

Less womesn rights. And you&#039;ll be kissing and furburguring IN PRIVATE and will have to settle for I LOVE YOU. 
For there will be NOTHING he will support for Gay and Lesbians.

So support the man who will sew your p___y up!

And no Hillary in 2012!</description>

		<description>No 108 Mark &quot; &quot;C@nt&quot; and &quot;Bitch&quot;?  I have been called worse at dyke bars.  Did you ever think that there are women who deserve to be called names?  Just like there are men who deserve to be called a few choice names.   Words are words and that is my problem with the Dems.  They talk, but don&#039;t walk.  McCain walked the walk and has the experience to prove it.</description>

		<description>Allow McCain to jump in with both feet on the Hillary ads, through the whole DNC Convention.
Then make one Obama ad, which features a Townhall meeting where McCain gets the question, &quot;how are you going to beat the B*TCH?&quot;(Senator Clinton)...and he chuckles

If you like the closet cases like Mehlman and Rove putting anti-gay amendments in 13 battle Ground States in 2004...you are going to LOVE the SAME motherf*ckin traitor queers selling McCain.
The 2004 the amping up of gay hatred by the GOP caused me to arm myself, and caused you to get a stiffy.

Vote and support whoever you choose. I&#039;m delighted you appreciate McCains honesty.

He was sooooo honest with the wife who worked 5 years for his release as a POW, and DUMPED her after she was disabled in a near fatal car crash.

He was soooo honest when he got his 2nd marriage license to Cindy McBigBucks a MONTH before his divorce was finalised.

He was sooo honest when asked how he would beat that B*TCH (Hillary) at a Townhall meeting...and he chuckles

He was sooo honest when in a temper fit he called Cindy &quot;C*NT&quot; in public.

He was sooo honest at the Keating Five hearings.</description>

		<description>Why would Senator Obama make such a huge mistake?

He has been quoted saying the next president needs to have &quot;good judgement&quot; over experience, and his selection for VP was anything but good judgement. Senator Biden is well-respected politician, but that&#039;s not going to win him votes. In order for him to bring about the change the country needs, he needs to be elected first. This election cycle has been mostly Identity politics rather than Policy politics and he has really upset a large portion of the Democrat party by not even considering Senator Clinton. 

Not a very wise choice in a race that is surprisingly tight.</description>

		<description>Brian - 

It&#039;s nice to actually read posts here that make sense as opposed to the bullshit put forth by posters like &quot;Mark&quot; and &quot;An Other Greek&quot;.  They are woefully uninformed and it wouldn&#039;t matter WHO was running for President - they will always vote for the Democrate regardless of how inexperienced and pathetic they are.

I&#039;m so sick and tired of you fucking queens assuming that everybody that is gay must vote for a Democrat or that are considered Republican/Gay hating/anti-American cads.  FUCK YOU - I&#039;ll vote for who is going to be the best for this country and the laughable ticket of Obama/Biden is a travesty for any American - gay or straight!

		<description>Get over yourself, Brian. Stop trying to paint everyone who is not racist and self-loathing (which you would need to be to even consider voting for McCain right now) as a mindless Obamatron. I already stated Obama wasn&#039;t even in my top three choices for the Democratic candidate, and I actually voted for Hillary in the primary. But I&#039;m not crying because my fourth choice won (any of the Democratic candidates would be far better than McCain), and I fully support him in his bid to be president. 

And rather than screaming about how bad Obama will be, why not actually show us how McCain would be better than him for gay people and state some of his pro-gay policies? Oh that&#039;s right, you can&#039;t. And speaking as a woman, I&#039;ll take a candidate with a VP who authored a bill protecting women over one who publicly calls his wife a cunt and offers her up at a biker rally any day - and I know Hillary would, too.</description>

		<description>Brian,
You said:&lt;blockquote&gt;Speaking for myself, I am not voting for him because he supports homophobia. He does not believe in equal marriage, and I won&#039;t support bigot politicians, period.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

And you supported Hillary Clinton????

Hypocrite? Aren&#039;t we. She doesn&#039;t support Gay Marriage neither so is the WHITE woman a BIGOT also?</description>

		<description>The cycle of Obama supporters seems to be something like this:

Obama supporter: Obama and Biden are the greatest for gay people!

Neutral observer: No, they suck.  Especially pro-DOMA, pro-military-anti-gay Biden.

Obama supporter: You&#039;re a male!  You have no right to an opinion!  Everyone knows you&#039;re a Republican!  You are racist!  You hate people from the midwest!  You are opposed to abortion!

Neutral observer: Whoa there, calm down.  I just refuse to support a candidate who is anti-gay.

Obama supporter: *enters full screaming meltdown mode*  FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING FUCKER! HE&#039;S THE BEST CANDIDATE!!!! YOU DON&#039;T UNDERSTAND REALITY!!!!! GO TO HELL!!!! ARGHHHHHH!  YEARGGHHHH! *Howard Dean scream*

Neutral observer: Oh my.</description>

		<description>Yes he rocks sorry for the slang but go ahead and be petty (it is better than air)
i usually like his answers and is a strong card in Obama&#039;s hand Can&#039;t really play the foreign relations card now (plus it didn&#039;t seem to matter when georgie boy didn&#039;t know who the President of Pakistan was before the election of 2000)
Afterall we elect a president for whom he will surround himself  Wasn&#039;t that the logic behind the big celebrity/president Reagan He is not the brightest and teetering on senility but he is a good public speaker</description>

		<description>What FUCKING experience are you looking for from McCain?????????

He&#039;s &lt;strong&gt;NUMB AND DUMB&lt;/strong&gt; on the economy he even admits it.
He voted for LAWS that would HURT GAYS......
And he will&lt;strong&gt;RAISE YOUR TAXES&lt;/strong&gt;
as he said on This week on ABC He said &lt;blockquote&gt; Everything is on the table&lt;/blockquote&gt; that includes your taxes.
All this man wants to do is go to &lt;strong&gt;WAR,WAR,WAR&lt;/strong&gt;


Just like No 87 @Rick said &lt;blockquote&gt;why don&#039;t you jerks come right out and say it, that you won&#039;t vote for a nigger (yes i used the word!) and have done with it.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You queens don&#039;t know what the fuck you&#039;re looking for. 
Well Jake please tell me about McCain&#039;s stance on &lt;strong&gt;GAY ANYTHING?&lt;/strong&gt; he may not see eye to eye with Bush. But certainly voted for his &lt;strong&gt;FAILED ASS POLICIES&lt;/strong&gt;


And once again okay Churchill-Y is only making an issue about Leah Daughtery not because she&#039;s a minister. But she&#039;s a &lt;strong&gt;BLACK&lt;/strong&gt; minister.We all know her stance on race issues.

So once again folks VOTE McCain and we will be in Iraq more than 4 more years and the economy will &lt;strong&gt;TANK&lt;/strong&gt; and foreclosures will continue to RISE as he gets more homes and don&#039;t know how many he will have then either. 

And gay rights will be....Oh wait a minute.
There will be no GAY Rights anything once those (Scalia-esque)judges are picked. 

So You&#039;re killing yourself. And this is one time even me as a gay male if he wins and the HORROR and EVIL THINGS that will be cast on the gay community I will not feel a bit of sympathy. 
after all You ask for it.

Maybe it will take this for folks to realize &lt;strong&gt;HYPOCRISY&lt;/strong&gt;

Just remember he&#039;s not like you. 
And there will be NO HILLARY IN 2012

&lt;strong&gt;BELIEVE THAT!&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>I have already had 8 years of an unqualified President being lead by a more experienced VP and I&#039;m not happy with the results.  I won&#039;t be voting for that configuration again.  No matter what anyone says about McCain he certainly has the experience. And for everyone comparing McCain to Bush remember that the two of them have never truly seen eye to eye.  McCain is not a Bush like Republican.  That is why the Republican party has never really &quot;got&quot; McCain.</description>

		<description>If I hear one more gay say that dems are good and republicans are bad I will lose it.  Bush certainly talked the talk against our community, but more movement for gay rights happened in the past 8 years with marriage visibility than it did under the Clinton administration. Bill signed DOMA and Don&#039;t Ask Don&#039;t Tell.  Please tell me what piece of legislation that Bush signed against us during his presidency.

I am an independent and have vote dem more often than republican, but this time i&#039;m really torn.  i was a huge Obama supporter as he spoke about change and not relying on old politics.  Well, it seems now that he go the nom Obama has become like every politician....he is playing the game.  At least with McCain we know what we are getting and I prefer someone who presents who they truly are.  McCain&#039;s choice will definitely play a part in who my vote goes to.</description>

		<description>have you noticed that the anti obama people have been by and large male?

it is just like all the letters to the editor that are by men saying women have no rights to their bodies and if they are raped have to deal with it as god&#039;s will if they get pregnant.

amazing how mccain was deep sixed because of karl roves antics and the rumors about his black baby but his ambition to be president has caused him to suck up to the great big fucking closet case whose only desire is to suck george bushes cock.

SOME OF US ARE ON TO YOU FUCK HEADS AND WE KNOW OUR HISTORY.

loved the post about obmama being bad for women, IT IS MCCAIN THAT IS PRO VIAGRA FOR EVERY MAN AND NO BIRTH CONTROL FOR WOMEN.

we need a national kick the republican male in the nuts day.</description>

		<description>Churchill-Y
It&#039;s been building for awhile now with the appointment of DNC Chairman Leah Daughtrey, evangelical pastor.  The age of reason has been replaced in favor of superstition and opportunistic religious leaders.  Not the Democratic Party I remember.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Alot of the Anti-Obama supporters are not voting for him because of Hillary and also because of race&lt;/i&gt;

Speaking for myself, I am not voting for him because he supports homophobia.  He does not believe in equal marriage, and I won&#039;t support bigot politicians, period.

&lt;i&gt;There now also seems to be a crowd of people who are protesting the nomination and refusing to support the soon to be nominee. &lt;/i&gt;

More arrogance from the Obama camp.

If anything, their insistence to slavish, unquestioning devotion to their candidate is more of a &quot;everyone&#039;s doing it so it&#039;s cool&quot; movement than those who refuse to support yet another empty suit.

After almost 8 years of a substance-free platitude-speaking anti-gay idiot in the White House, I&#039;m not interested in another substance-free platitude-speaking anti-gay idiot in the White House who happens to be a Democrat instead of a Republican.</description>

		<description>This may be coincidence but did anyone else notice their text message timed at 3am? Iâ€™m pretty sure it was more strategic to dump a story at 3am so the late Friday news couldnâ€™t pick it up but it was early enough for all the morning news stations to get it. 

I just thought it was funny to be at 3am â€“ the same time HRC used in her â€œwho do you trustâ€ commercials.  

Just saying.</description>

Leah is so proud!:

Wake up Gay people! the handwritting is on the wall.

And like No. 61 Â· Lawrence said, unless you&#039;re willing to vote for someone and his cronies who would pose as a Democrat while opposing interracial marriage then why should you vote for the same for Gay people? Are we less than them?</description>

		<description>There was an interesting radio show on NPR this week about the science of persuasion.  The point kept being made that many people are persuaded by the feeling that everyone else is doing the same.  I think it is this that got Obama the nomination.  I think on college campuses being an Obama supporter was the big thing that everyone was doing, and this helped him turn out a large vote of young people and independents that gave him the nomination.  No one wants to be the only one taking a position, but there is a lot of comfort in following the crowd.

What this reminds me of is the early 70s when there was a big movement of born again Christians.  I remember my neighbors talking about how they were going to prayer meetings and bible studies -- mostly because it was the thing to do.

There now also seems to be a crowd of people who are protesting the nomination and refusing to support the soon to be nominee.  If you say you will not support Obama you certainly are not alone.  Perhaps it is the thing to do among a certain segment of the population.

Well, the campaign season is getting ready to start.  Soon Obama will have been nominated.  Two more months to go.</description>

		<description>this old man just read the new comments.  at the age of 50 i for one know the disadvantages of a republican president. i remember NIXON, and ronnie and bush 1 and 2.

none of them did a damn thing for this country except for eroding civil rights, killing american soldiers, and making the rich richer.

one of the things i have noticed is that when bush 2 and company were obviously using hitlerian tactics and called on it the right was outraged.  yet hitler is their favorite example for nailing a well spoken man who is charismatic named obama.

i a sick and tired of the &quot;he isn&#039;t christian enough&quot;, &quot;he&#039;s a secret muslim&quot;, &quot;he&#039;s a socialist&quot; and all the other crap from the right wing christian liars who have not found a commandment that wasn&#039;t worth breaking for power and profit.

why don&#039;t you jerks come right out and say it, that you won&#039;t vote for a nigger (yes i used the word!) and have done with it.</description>

		<description>Well Hear Ye, Hear Ye,

All this Obamaton, Obambi, nObama, etc.
Check this shit out.
If you don&#039;t want to vote for Obama then simply DON&#039;T. If it&#039;s a protest vote for McCain because of Hillary then VOTE for him.

Alot of the Anti-Obama supporters are not voting for him because of Hillary and also because of race....You may not want to admit. But we all know it&#039;s there. And it&#039;s all good.

Please just vote for McCain after all you can say. He&#039;s like me I guess meaning white and once his policies starts to form. Don&#039;t get mad because. He&#039;s going to say. They&#039;re NOT like me. I&#039;m straight and would like to keep things that way.

And he will leave it to the states to mandate that! Then all you Obama hating fags won&#039;t have any type of protection because NO STATES will add sexual orientation in their hate crimes bill.

Then all HELL breaks loose for the gays.

But hey if that be the case. I&#039;d rather McCain win then some of you Obama hating folks can&#039;t say DAMN see what that N_____R did to us. 

Because he wouldn&#039;t. 
And if he loses Hillary can forget 2012.

TRUST THAT!</description>

		<description>It a sure sign the Obamatons are increasingly worried when they drag out their personal attacks of  calling anyone who questions their sainted candidate as &quot;idiots&quot; &quot;lunatics&quot; and &quot;stupid.&quot; Yeah, that&#039;s what we all are. It couldn&#039;t be we see through Obama&#039;s B.S., could it? I wonder how soon they start blaming the Clintons for Obama&#039;s impending doom? That seems the next logical step after personal attacks on voters ... How pathetic.</description>

		<description>Re. Comment 37... Those states may well be tracking BO/B next Friday.  It&#039;s reasonably well known that as the conventions get under way, projections change, first toward the candidate of the 1st convention, but then toward the candiate of the 2nd convention.  It doesn&#039;t really matter what the skew looks like next Friday... It matters more what the skew looks like once the Republicans have put forth a VP candidate and their convention is winding down.  Biden may... help BO&#039;s cause, but whoever McCain picks might well help his...  

One of the many reasons I won&#039;t be voting for BO is the method he chose to announce his candidate...  I&#039;m no McCain fan, but he hit the nail on the head when he referred to BO as a movie star (I forget the exact verbiage).  BO couldn&#039;t just announce his choice to the nation, no, he had to let the hype build about his organization choosing to text-message it...Then he came up with this!? Again, a &#039;media celebrity&#039; isn&#039;t what&#039;s needed in DC.</description>

		<description>Not an impressive choice... Looks like another no-win-no-matter-who&#039;s-the-victor election.  I ask, how is it the solid waste always rises to the top of American politics?  Why is is we never have two capable, qualified, &#039;good&#039; candidates to select from? Why is it that most times we&#039;re voting against rather than for someone?  It wouldn&#039;t have mattered to me who BO(and really, don&#039;t those initials say it all...) selected.  Politics of change my rear... he&#039;s a politician of the old school just like all the others and I wouldn&#039;t have voted for someone who was merely annointed by the media, but who has done nothing but run his mouth for the entire time he&#039;s been in politics, anyway. Rudy and Hillary were the only solid candidates their parties had to put forth and both of them will settle to speak at their respective conventions, while two bone heads battle it out to see who the next ineffective leader will be...</description>

		<description>&quot;This is another indication of Obama&#039;s supporters&#039; disconnection from reality&quot;

no, it is that i have been reading the same crap over and over ever since limbaugh started his pretend to be a democrat and voice outrage that it isn&#039;t hillary routine.  

i read this crap in letters to the editor of newspapers, and read it in the comments posted on news articles.  and there is always somebody that hangs around and knocks anyone who supports obama.

this brian wilson person would be better served by going to fox news and praising father jonathan for his insights on why we should all be republicans.  it is obvious from his writings that he is in fact a republican and believes whole heartedly in their message.  

anybody that would vote for mccain after he called his wife a fucking cunt in public and offered her up for a wet t-shirt contest and banana swallowing contest at a bikers rally is lacking in good judgement.</description>
