Hillary Clinton really, really, really wants the gay vote tomorrow. So much so, in fact, the Senator posted an open letter on lesbianic website, OurChart, “To each and every LGBT American… I know that this country is ready for changes in the law that reflect the evolution in our hearts. America deserves a President who appeals to the best in each of us, not the worst; a President who values and respects all Americans and treats all Americans equally no matter who they are or who they love. I want to be that President. I want to be your President.”
“Hey Gay, Vote For Me!” Says Clinton

My friends and I all voted early for Hillary.

GO HILLARY!

I can’t bring myself to trust a woman who won’t give her own husband a hummer now and again to keep him from running amok, whether she’s first lady or the lady next door. Handle your business, ladies!

I am very distressed by the anti-lesbian tone of the Queerty Editorial and some of these postings. This is akin to Gay-bashing, trans-slander and ugly prejudice we Gays know all too well and should not be casting rocks in glass houses. Hillary Clinton has been gay-friendly during her whole 8 years as New York’s favorite Senator and we take that into account when we want our next President to not change the constitution to ban gay marriage outright or gay adoptions or cut Ryan White AIDS/HIV funding (Hillary actually made sure it was increased wielding strategic power in the Senate) Even some of my black lesbian friends are supporting her as are gay men. People do vote for who they relate to so Hillary would naturally have a lesbian following and attacking Bill is so petty at this stage. If Barack becomes President, perhaps he too will adopt progressive gay causes. The most important thing here is that we have a Democratic President no matter who is on Top of the Ticket.

HIllary is our girl! Rise, Hillary, rise!

Don’t be fooled by Hillary’s forced and contrived outreach. There is a real movement for change that can come from Senator Obama. I believe that the change we need to get equal rights in America will come through the grassroots political engagement that his campaign has created and not from the status quo political machine.

Jeez… DOMA, DADT, haven’t the Clintons thrown the gays under the bus enough times for us to learn our lesson? It’s like Bill says, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting to get a different result.

What does Bill’s policy have anything to do with Hillary?

You’ve got to be kidding, right? You tell me where Hillary would be in fund-raising without Bill. Here’s a tip for you: policy flows from the money. Grow up and take a look at the real world.

In libertarian nut-case John Smith’s world, the job of all government officials is apparently to go to work and do crossword puzzles. He says public health should not exist. Probably public transportation, education, libraries, food safety, and consumer fraud protection should not exist either. Let me get this straight then… Bush is the finest president ever – as shown by his military budget and Katrina response.
What a tool!

Hillary Clinton is one of two antigay candidates running for the Democratic nomination. The other is Barak Obama. They both pigheadedly oppose samesex marriage. Their party dropped the hate crimes bill and gutted ENDA and refused to even try to repeal Clintons DOMA and DADT so they wouldn’t be election issues.
They both support union busting laws, endless tax breaks for the rich and deregulation of corporate predators what have sabotaged our standard of living and sent the economy into a steep nosedive. They support the war but oppose socialized medicine. A vote for them is a vote for eight more years of Bush Lite gaybashing, war and economic disasters.
If you want real change then vote for any communist, socialist, labor or other left wing party or for ‘none of the above’ as we do here in Nevada. In addition tens of millions will refuse to vote, disgusted at the latest round of lesser evils to come down the pike.

Voted for Hillary first thing this morning!
A vote for obama is just another vote to put a republican in the white house for another four to eight years. Besides, Senator Clinton is the only one with the experience to be president. She has always been on our side. Obama beat, who, Alan Keyes, to get his senate seat. In my opinion there are only two choices, Hillary or McCain.

then support gay marriage, you twit.

Obama won states that had 13 delegates, Hillary won states that had 300 and 400 delegates.
