no. people are NOT born gay. do you realize that people who assume that they are born gay never give themselves the benefit of the doubt? my cousin died of AIDS, and he was homosexual. he told my family right before he passed away that being gay is a CHOICE. sure, i believe that some people have always had a gay nature, but that doesn&#039;t mean they don&#039;t have a choice.</description>

		<description>Mccain thinks that he&#039;s clever with his television ads. Did anyone ever see the one where he says, &quot;Obama didn&#039;t even visit the troops. He decided to take a break and play ball.&quot; If you look closely at the clip of Obama playing basketball, he&#039;s playing WITH THE TROOPS!!! lol. People that seriously want to vote for Mccain are just stupid. There&#039;s no other explaination. Refusing to allow gay marriage but ok-ing civil unions is the same damned thing we went through 50-60 years ago with our African Americans. &quot;Black children can go to school, but they can&#039;t go with the white children. It&#039;s ok as long as their schools are equal.&quot; Doesn&#039;t that sound like what&#039;s happening today? &quot;Gays can have Civil Unions with the same benefits as marriage, but they can&#039;t legally call themselves married.&quot; Something needs to be done ladies and gentlemen.</description>

		<description>Okay so basically thay&#039;re telling people that children are messed up if they don&#039;t have a father? I have never even met my father in my 16 years of living and I am personally fine. My mother had never gotten remarried and never plans to. So what if it&#039;s two homosexual MEN who want to adopt a child? Then they have TWO father figures in the house. They are just annoying me because we should have the same rights along with the &#039;average americans&#039;!</description>

		<description>Bravo commie Perdue! Fidel Castro and Putin would be so proud of you. Oh wait they would also make sure that your Gay ass remained eternally in the closet. They&#039;re also much worst in the racial department which you frequently love to bring up. But hey don&#039;t ever let minuscule details like that stop you from expressing your garbage.</description>

		<description>Mr C â€“ ChurchillY doesn&#039;t agree with me at all. He&#039;s a racist scum who&#039;s always supported Republicans because they&#039;re like him. Like the Clintons, most Republicans are adept at tapping into the huge reservoir of racism in this country. Just as Obama is now beating KKKarl Rove in tapping into homophobia. Thatâ€™s how Obama made deep inroads into traditional Republican bases as church going catholic cultists and evangelical bigots.  


ChurchillY can do as he pleases: I rarely respond to him unless I see that he might confuse people. No one should. Responding to them is a trap, and those who fall for it just end up validating people like him and his ultraright friends like Tallskin. Theyâ€™re racist louts who arenâ€™t fit to be treated like humans. 

My difference with you is that I&#039;ll never ask people to vote for homophobic bigots like Obama or McCain. You do. I won&#039;t because the Republicans are as bad as the Democrats when it comes to opposing our agenda for equality. McCain&#039;s party makes no bones about hating us and Obamaâ€™s campaign has been one long revival meeting with bigoted christian pigs.
 
People who support Obama have to be OK with the fact that Obama wonâ€™t even mention us in his platform and that, like George Wallace, Hillary Clinton and John McCain, Obama wants our equality agenda subject to the tender mercies of â€˜States Rightsâ€™ bigots. 

They must think that it&#039;s just swell that Obamaâ€™s party gave us DOMA and DADT, shredded ENDA and tossed the Sheppard Hate Crimes Bill in the garbage. And that they donâ€™t have a problem with Obamaâ€™s bigoted veto of same sex marriage or with the fact the Democrats DADT means that GLBT soldiers are beaten, harassed, even murdered and discharged by the tens of thousands, losing their pensions and rights because of who they love.

Just like it means that Obama fans saw nothing wrong when the Democrats shredded ENDA to please the Chamber of Commerce. Obama supporters must have no problem with the hate crimes bill being tossed overboard or with the 12 or so fatal beatings, stabbings and shootings of mostly very young GLBT folks because thereâ€™s no hate crimes bill in place to deter thugs.  

&lt;b&gt;Voting for Obama is bad enough but we&#039;re being asked us to vote for the party that includes traitors like Barney Frank, bigots like Pelosi and the rest of those right wing hustlers who are owned body and soul by the Chamber of Commerce. They, including Obama and Biden, are just as corrupt as McCain and his crew. Theyâ€™re all members of the worldâ€™s second oldest profession. &lt;/b&gt;

Madonna&#039;s Boy - thanks for the compliment. Knowing that a clueless twit like you dislikes me makes my day. Now plug that sillky wand back in and go back to sleep.</description>

		<description>Bill Perdue...YAWN!!! Such &quot;manly&quot; words and stances coming from behind the safety if a keyboard. Can&#039;t you tell from the comments that most people on this board not only DISAGREE with you but don&#039;t like you. You probably sit at your PC all day and eagerly wait to type some ridiculous tirade to get people to notice you. I bet if you and I were face-to-face we would see a different &quot;persona&quot; than what you type. And I would definitely use my wand on you, however, not to sprinkle any dust. 
Tootle&#039;s!</description>

		<description>But wait Bill since when you agree with Churchill-Y? I remember a post where you called the idiot a racist as we all know the idiot is.

What&#039;s up with this Mr Perdue??? 
He&#039;s only agreeing with your viewpoint against Obama.

But of course Cocksucker-Y quotes Diddy and I assume he feels that Diddy is the voice of Black America?

Such a fucking idiot that Chittyshitty-Y is!</description>

		<description>I never supported the invasion of Iraq, and I want us out of there as soon as possible.  Just like Obama.  As for Afghanistan, if you don&#039;t see the extreme threat there, then you are a blind zealot.  I believe in peace. What I don&#039;t believe in is being a victim.</description>

		<description>ChristopherM, your version of realism will lead to a longer war, a wider war and more slaughter. That&#039;s what Obama &lt;b&gt;promises&lt;/b&gt;. Being proud of that is a disgrace. 

In 1964 a lot of idiots like you who say that â€œ&lt;i&gt;Obama isn&#039;t everything I want him to beâ€&lt;/i&gt; sported buttons that said &lt;i&gt;&quot;Part of the Way with LBJ&quot;.&lt;/i&gt; (The Democrats slogan was &quot;All the way with LBJ&quot;. Their crackpot realism helped get LBJ elected and then the slaughter commenced. Well over a million Vietnamese were murdered and over 55,000 GIs were killed because of people who went &#039;Part of the way&quot; with LBJ. 

Obama admits that heâ€™ll prolong the war. He wants to up the pace of murder in Afghanistan. He wants to attack Pakistan and expose us to nuclear retaliation. And you like that? Youâ€™d actually vote for that? Youâ€™re a real Democrat, ChristopherM, a credit to your party. The problem is a lot of people whose faces youâ€™ll never see,  Iraqis, Afghans, GIâ€™s, and Pakistanis. are going to pay the price for your â€˜realismâ€™.</description>

		<description>Obamaton meltdown:

â€œJohn you are bugging the fâ€” you. I donâ€™t even understand what planet youâ€™re on now. This is the job to be the leader of the free world. No disrespect, I love ya, I want you to live to 110, but what if, God forbid, you got a running mate, you become President. Alaska? ALASKA? ALASKA? ALASKA? Come on, man. I donâ€™t even know if there are any black people in Alaska. John, come on. Sarah [Palin]? What in the hell? ALASKA? Youâ€™re bugging the fâ€” out. Sarah Palin, you ainâ€™t ready to be vice president. ALASKA MOTHERFâ€”-ER? What is the reality in Alaska? There arenâ€™t even any crackheads in Alaska.

		<description>I&#039;m damn proud, Bill, because I am a realist.  There is a lot to be said for building a viable third party in this country, but I know that a handful of fringe voters casting a third party vote in November isn&#039;t going to do anything but put a decrepit warmongerer and his vacuous pretty version of Cheney into the White House.  Obama isn&#039;t everything I want him to be, but I think he&#039;s pretty good and miles better than the alternative.</description>

		<description>ChristopherM &quot;There are thousands of our people in Iraq right now who probably don&#039;t care to get blown up so you can make a point.&quot;

The way to &lt;i&gt;ensure a longer war&lt;/i&gt; is to vote for Nixon redux, Obama, who&#039;s already promised one. People like you who shill for Obama and McCain are responsible for a longer, wider war. Are you proud? ChristopherM. 

The &lt;b&gt;only&lt;/b&gt; way to end the war is to build the civilian and GI antiwar movements and to cement our ties with the Iraq Federation of Oil Unions. 

&quot;locking up the Court with extremists who don&#039;t believe in freedom for anyone but corporations and the executive branch.&quot; 

Judges, Democrats or Republicans, only respond when pushed hard. They are virtually all conservatives appointed to protect property rights. The courts that knocked down sodomy laws and granted marriage rights all had Republican majorities but felt the pressure of changing sentiment, foreign scorn at US backwardness, and decades of demonstrations. Brown vs. Board of Education was won the same way.    


Jenna&#039;s Bush - Now we know why so many people call you a chucklehead. 

Madonna&#039;s Boy - if you can&#039;t stand the heat... go somewhere else and wave your silly wand.</description>

		<description>&quot;Read it and weep&quot;

Already did that while reading the DNC platform.
There&#039;s truth in commie Perdue&#039;s comment, what&#039;s the difference between these two parties? And let&#039;s not even go into the 17 year old daughter thing because bidens son is doing far more worst things but nothing is said about it.</description>

		<description>Yes Bill, let&#039;s do that.  Let&#039;s do that and watch Peepaw win and appoint two more Antonin Scalias to the Supreme Court, locking up the Court with extremists who don&#039;t believe in freedom for anyone but corporations and the executive branch.  There is a time and a place for a protest vote.  This is not it.  There are thousands of our people in Iraq right now who probably don&#039;t care to get blown up so you can make a point.</description>

		<description>The Republicans are about as bad as you can get, and voting for them is truly insane. 

But thereâ€™s another party that really is as bad as you can get. Itâ€™s the Democrats. They voted overwhelmingly for DOMA and DADT and refuse to repeal them. Bill Clinton, like his clone, Barak Obama has made a career of getting in the gutter to pander to bigots. After DOMA passed Clinton  used your donations (if you were dumb enough to send the Democrats money) to pay of radio ads boasting about his signature on DOMA, and to add insult to injury those ads appeared on rancid redneck religious stations in the South. 

Itâ€™s the same party whose DNC Chief of Staff is being sued for antigay discrimination by none other than the DNCâ€™s former GLBT affairs director. Youâ€™re donations will go a long way towards paying for Dean and Daughtryâ€™s hefty legal bills and the large settlement theyâ€™ll have to pay. 

And keep in mind that this is the same party ruled by the Chamber of Commerce that shredded ENDA to please them. Then, after itâ€™d pass both Houses of Congress they simply tossed the Mathew Shepard Hate Crimes bill in the garbage. They opposed same sex marriage and have the same solution to our agenda â€“ States Rights â€“ that and earlier Democrat, George Wallace proposed to deal with civil rights legislation. And they learned their lesson from Rove. Now itâ€™s the Democrats whoâ€™ve mastered the art of pandering to bigots. Theyâ€™re very good at it. 

Voting for Democrats makes us politically impotent and weâ€™re paying a heavy price for our helplessness: Katrina, poverty, the blight of bigotry, a crash and burn economy and unending wars. Itâ€™s not just unprincipled; it&#039;s reckless to waste our time, money or votes on either Democrats or Republicans. We should be building mass movements to end their rule and get us out of the last closet, the political closet inhabited by Stonewall Democrats and Log Cabin Republicans. 

On November 4th vote for the union led and financed US Labor Party (if it makes it past the Democrat&#039;s (sic) roadblocks). If not vote for socialist or communist candidates as a protest or join the scores of millions who sit it out because theyâ€™re smart enough to refuse to vote for the lesser bigot, the lesser warmonger or the lesser evil.</description>

		<description>They&#039;re pandering to their target audience, right-wing, religious lunatics. These religious idiots are obsessed with the intimate lives of gay people. It&#039;s the core of their disgusting cult. Without their anti-gay rage, they remain impotent, constipated, and lose sleep over the fact that gay marriage is legal in California, and Mass, they wouldn&#039;t have one binding element to keep their single brain waves, within a 1000 mile radius, together. Also, their radical ignorance is astounding. Inbreeding supporter, Sarah Palin, McSame&#039;s VP, teenage daughter is pregnant. Clearly, her mother was an absolute failure when it comes to educating your children when it comes to sex education. These pathetic, religious scabs, don&#039;t deserve to hold the key to the magic kingdom, anymore! Rise up against them at every opportunity, and rub their noses in their own shit!!!</description>

		<description>McCain should change his new campaign slogan from &quot;Country First&quot; to &quot;Evangelicals First.&quot;

I can&#039;t believe that the media are not even discussing the fact that Palin, a possible President of the United States, believes in teaching creationism in public schools, especially in light of her failed abstinence-only belief.

WTF?</description>

		<description>Keep in mind that Sarah Palin is absolutely unqualified. Why would McCain choose her? Because she is a wonderful distraction from real issues. She is jamming everyone&#039;s blog lately, discussing her pregnant daughter, her hair, her resemblance to Karen Walker. And quite frankly none of this matters. It simply helps the party stay in the media. I am convinced slamming Palin does the Republican party a favor. So, I am choosing to ask one basic thing: When Palin comes up, change the conversation to real issues. If John McCain dies while in office, what will her role as president be like? If McCain lives, what are the fundamental differences between his policy and Obama&#039;s. Which is better for the future of our nation?</description>

		<description>The Republicans JUST DON&#039;T GET IT.
A small percentage of people are born with an homosexual sexual orientation.

The entire premise for their thoughts on homosexuals is wrong. The GOP thinks it is a lifestyle choice. 

It is depressing to realize that 1 of only 2 political parties in my great country does not understand that gay people are born gay. 
How can that be???</description>

		<description>Marriage is a sacred institution--except for pregnant teenagers.

Hypocrites. Supporting abstinence only education and being against condom distribution only to end up with a pregnant kid.

Palin also believes in teaching creationism in school. This ticket is more wacko right-wing than Bush/Cheney were.</description>
