Wouldn't It Be Pretty to Think So?by: elwoodTue Sep 21, 2010 at 18:06:59 PM EDT |

This morning on NPR Linda Wertheimer was interviewing a founder of the Log Cabin Republicans. She noted that Senator John Cornyn has recently appeared before a gay rights group and wondered, is it time for you to declare victory?
Last week a young Republican activist here said that, after voting for Charlie Bass and Kelly Ayotte, he would be in a good position to urge them to change their positions and support equal rights for gays. BRRRINGG! This is your wakeup call. Today EVERY Republican Senator voted to block consideration of a measure that would have simply authorized the President and the military to end the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. The so-called "moderates" from Maine, Dick Lugar, John McCain: it was unanimous. The Republican Party is solidly against equal rights for gay Americans. If you're comfortable in that crowd, so be it. |
