That Must Have Been Some Tasty Kool-Aid
Apparently, a group of black gay Republicans has decided to endorse Bush, and has taken the Log Cabin Republicans to task for breaking from the rest of the party. Pertinent quote:
"We think that the 'Republican Tent' is
inclusive and there is room for differences, but one does not pick up their
marbles and go home if there are a few points of disagreement," stated Anthony
Falls, Republican Precinct Chairman -- Dallas and the ALBRC National
Spokesperson. "The ALBRC does not support marriage for gays, yet we do support
and call for recognition of domestic partnerships," he stated.
Aw, look! They'll sponsor us, but they don't want anything pesky like marriage! It's so cute!
If I may remind the ALBRC of one naggling detail: The 2004 party platform of the GOP calls for banning all forms of recognition of gay relationships, including domestic partnerships. And it calls for measures to block judicial review on the state level, so that no domestic partnerships can be established on a state-by-state basis.
You know, I'd really hate to use the phrase "Uncle Tom" in this situation, because of all the race stuff, but... well, come on.
