I guess you all are awaiting Hillary “I belive Marriage is between a Man and a Woman” Clinton to rescue us from the evils of Obama and The Dems????

In Fact “Obama’s relationship with our community has been rocky since his election.”

Further more, it’s been rocky since the kids voted overwhelmingly for Clinton in the primaries. 60% of LGBT’s voted for Clinton during the primary. Not only did they vote for Clinton, they supported her long after it was clear she had lost. So when she finally gave in, and the two campaigns were supposed to merge. It was too late. The entire structure of the campaign was locked in stone. Further, 30% of LGBT voted for McCain. So it hasn’t been a love affair. See the Gay Blogs and all the Anti-obama everything they post.

And you know he knows that.

Now I myself will admit. He has for sure when it comes to marriage equality, and D.A.D.T has beebn wishy-washy. But there has been some things done to his credit for this community.

However, Obama was never the gay community’s first choice. He would NOT be in office had it been up to majority of the Gays to decide. Clinton would be. Who also doesn’t feel we should be married,or call it marriage and her wonderful husband who signed the 2 death certificates to ever face this community D.A.DT and D.O.M.A. But you all can so forgive her…Things that make you go HMMMMM?

In the end, he was simply less frightening than McCain/Palin… and he probably still is.
Remember, Palin tried but failed to ban gay-related books from the Wasilla public library and fired the librarian who opposed her.

A book-burning, Rapture-ready birth certificate conspiracy nut, one stoking the white surpremist and religious extremist violence we see today, drove the gays in droves to vote for Obama…

…not his stand on same-sex marriage.

So, you are saying that gays are going to vote republican, Tea Party, or Libertarian, or Green in 2012?
Vote out someone who somewhat supports your position in favor of a party that wants gays DEAD (Rethugs)….oh, so smart a political move!

But hey “Don’t Ask, Don’t Give”

I just speak for me; but I can tell you this life long democrat couldn’t care less what happens to the national democratic party. As for Obama, I will be happy to see him out of office. I am fed up with them.

Au contraire, you have a choice. Give support and vote to those who support full rights in the Congress. Do not give to Democrats who betray us and the DNC leads the list.
The day that GAY INC does not infer that our votes and money are always reliable regardless of their betrayals, is when they will listen to us. Hardball is the only sport in town.

The DNC knows all too well that as GLBT American’s we have nowhere to go. It’s either vote for the party that tolerates us because they want our money or vote the party that actively tries to destroy us. These are the options which is really sad.

“the pace of change isn’t always fast enough”. That’s her diagnosis. She is exhibit A in why the dems are totally clueless and going to blow it. What change is she talking about? Obama has been Bush III so far. There has to actually BE some change first before you can measure a pace of change.

I think it’s important to note that the “Don’t Ask/Don’t Give” donation boycott is not a boycott of the Democratic Party — it’s a very specifically focused boycott: it’s aimed at the Democratic National Committee, Organizing for America, and the Obama campaign. AmericaBlog readers and supporters actively donate and raise funds (through ActBlue and other outlets) for Democratic candidates in many other races. It’s not a Democratic Party boycott — it’s a boycott of the DNC and other outlets directly controlled by President Obama until the President takes effective action to get the repeals of DADT and DOMA and the passage of ENDA actually done. When he sends David Axelrod out the day after the Prop. 8 decision to reiterate his opposition to marriage equality, President Obama shamefully supports separate and so-called equal.

If we dems and supporters of equality dont get off our ass re politics, America will be the next Nazi Germany, and gays will be the new Jews.

Its that bad, if you listen to the crazies out there of t he repub and tea party people. Some even calling for armed revolution.

Don’t kid yourself – Germany was the most cultured nation in Europe in the 1920s. But the economic collapse of the first great republican depression that resulted in paying 30000 DM to mail a letter, mixed with Hitlers hatred of the Jews, thanks to his catholic upbringing, gave us nazi-ism,a nd the rest is history.

Here the repubs are playing the old Shock and Awe campaign politics. Whether the dems have really delivered or not, its not a question of which party wins. Its a question of whether we become a new holy roman empire or nazi party. Where no one will be safe, the constitution will be replaced with a hate filled bible, and the super-rich will employ us all as serfs of old.

And let the ones with out jobs starve on the streets, and die in front of the hospitals.

Off you asses, pls………..
