  •  We had only one weakness that killed us (none / 0)

    Troll rate me if you must, but you know it's true.

    We were voted down as the party of gay marriage.

    It's true. We live in a nation of homophobic, backwater fools.

    •  Truth, not troll (none / 1)

      My brother-in-law works in a saw mill in Virginia. He gets no health insurance, and his job could go at any time. Where he lives, his next-best option would be working at Wal-Mart, but he probably couldn't even get work there.

      In this tenuous position, he supports a wife and a baby girl. He has big medical bills from his daughter's birth, and he recently took out a second mortgage to make ends meet. When he loses his job or someone gets sick, he may lose his home.

      My brother-in-law voted to re-elect George W. Bush because he thought that the Democrats' top issue was letting gays get married.

      •  Those fuckfaces look for any excuse (none / 0)

        to vote Republican.  If they don't hate gays, they hate blacks.

        Hate, Hate, Hate, it's all they know.

        And who is the party of hate?

        Fuck those people.  We don't need them.  We won without them in 92, 96, and 00.

        What we need is to present a clear and coherent message.

        What did we hear about Kerry?  Wishy-washy.  Flip-flopper.  No backbone.

        Why?

        Because he WAS wishy-washy.  He voted for the Authorization to Use Force, as well as the Patriot Act.  He ran away from the word liberal, whereas W proclaimed himself as a "Proud Conservative".

        We looked like a bunch of fucking pussies, and that's why we lost.

        Don't blame the gays for wanting their damn Civil Rights.
