C’mon guys, it’s another diversion. Ignore the smoke grenades and get back to the Constitution and the economy.

Oh good. More half-witted more or less “conservatives” and/or “Republicans” hacking away at each other on ancillary issues while both the election and the nation’s fate hangs in the balance.
And by the way, why do these people keep running to fight on the battleground of their opponent’s choosing. They keep yapping about Ronald Reagan, but Reagan would have NEVER let himself get suckered off of his own turf and onto the other guys.
PS: is the the Republican version of PC?
PSS: wasn’t the fiasco with Rick Perry lesson enough? Would *ALL* “evangelical” preachers please go back to their congregations and stop making asses of themselves and their cause until at least after the election? You guys simply do not know how to talk to the general public effectively, and you will always get baited into giving your opponents the rope with which to hang you.

^ Not that I think Paul’s remark was especially brilliant either.
I’m going to coin a phrase here: “It’s the economy stupid.”

Why are we wasting time on this when everybody knows we should be discussing the really important issues, like Latvian goat-humping! Da comrade! Now we’re talking!
P.S. Intentional or not, I think the “gayer” comment was brilliant! If Paul apologizes, I will lose all respect for him.
IMHO, perhaps we should view all the latest & notgreatest insanity—-thru *heavy lenses*. Newsweak, long since, a dead man walking, is presently a kind of pamphlet in color. Twenty years ago, I subscribed & even got an article published (…for a cool $1000.00, large…). Now = a fucking magazine cover by Andrew Sullivan, a certified, single subject, homosexual “Walter Duranty”—w a dog & no driver`s license! Calling OBoBo the 1st Gay president! Just like “eating dog” et al; this too will cost him a zillion votes….
All this means something. And that *something* is: “IT CAN`T BE THE ECONOMY, STUPID!” (…this variation on Slick Willy`s theme, that is exacerbated by Slick calling OBoBo, “An amateur!”
My estimate = “The ship of the RATz, Proggybots & LibTurds can be aptly described as the ‘Bismark-w a jammed rudder’ and each of us here on The Porch are ‘Torfuckingpedos’!!!!

I wonder what the Homodent’s Muslim friends think about this.
Perhaps they approve of the gay thing being used as a weapon of destruction of the republic.

(6) re: the latest Time cover. How the mighty have fallen. That’s OK, we have Drudge and Breitbart now.
If Paul apologizes, I will lose all respect for him. Well, as I’ve previously said (channeling The One here), I doubt it was brilliant; but, having said it, he sure as hell shouldn’t apologize. And I’d ditto the respect thing. He did it, so now he can be a man and stand by his remarks. In this is a blaze what won’t last more than a day as long as conservatives and evangelicals quit throwing gas on the fire.
I don’t know what Doug means by “getting gayer,” but I bet he’s right. “Crazier & weirder” is a certainty.
What I can’t figure out is whose vote he thought he was getting with this. He might have got back a few gays who were disgusted with him, but most of the disgusted ones are thinking that it would be better to be single and able to pay their rent than married and in a shelter. Most of the people who were thrilled with this were already going to vote for him.
It did get him some instant gay campaign contributions, of course.
The key is the swing voters. So the question is, did he swing them?
PS: It’s fair to ask why Dick Cheney wasn’t heralded as “The First Gay Vice-President.” What? Oh, well then, never mind. But gosh, think of a Newsweek cover with a picture of Cheney and that rainbow halo….

I knew the vast majority of the gay community was going to vote for the iWon even before this cynical move and the resultant fawning by the media.
Unfortunately, too many gays have bought into the “victimhood” mentality. I hope they enjoy their little parcel of the socialist, Democrat plantation.

Oh yes, a “very serious issue”.
In a pig’s eye.

… and Paul is wrong.
Just wait. It’ll get gayer.
The temptation to go all gayer than thou will be almost irresistible to these egoists.
