    Is she a Log Cabin Republican?

  • CitizenGeek

    I’m fairly certain she isn’t a Log Cabin Republican. In fact, I’ve never heard of a female Log Cabin Republican – I think women are too clever and too compassionate and not greedy enough for that sorry organisation.

    She cannot help who and what her father is anymore than the rest of us can. I am sure her shoes have not been the easiest to walk in
    these past 8 years.

    Wow. That is really a nice thing to hear about her. If I believed in a sky-daddy, I would say, “Bless you, Mary”.

    But since I don’t believe in a sky-daddy, I will just personally say, “Thank you, Mary. You’re a sweetie-pie.” And that comes from the heart.

    “She cannot help who and what her father is anymore than the rest of us can. I am sure her shoes have not been the easiest to walk in these past 8 years.”

    It’s far beyond that. She has worked for her father’s campaign as well as other Republican causes. I’m glad she made one good decision but it doesn’t redeem her hideous past. You cant just put lipstick on a lesbian pig…

    Taking a six figure salary to help put Bush/Cheney in the White House in direct opposition to the rights of her own family and all of ours garners her a big “so fucking what” from my family.

    Only three grand? WTF?

    She finally did something positive for her community. Big whoops…

    Her shoes can’t be that hard to walk in if her path is lined with money.

    Ron Prentice Gets Rich Fighting Gay Marriage

    Ron Prentice is CEO of the California Family Council and Chairman of ProtectMarriage.com, the committee behind Prop 8 (the folks working to ban gay marriage in California).

    Ron is set to be be honored at the Values Voter Summit 2008 (September 12-14) with Focus on the Family Action’s Family Champion Award.

    Justin McLachlan has broken a major story in the Proposition 8 battle: California Family Council contributions have mostly been spent on the generous salaries that Ron pays himself and his staff.

    So far, there’ve been about a dozen news and blog pieces that have appeared online referencing Justin’s research into Ron Prentice and his shady management of donor funds.

    Folks volunteering for and making contributions to the “Yes on 8″ campaign should be aware that the operatives running the show have a track record of using contributions to generously reward themselves.

    Yeah, she’s totally NOT on our side. Working for the GOP, not standing up to their crazy, etc.

    In her position, she could have done SO much good for the LGBT community, but she didn’t.
