Subject: Andrew Sullivan's NOT a Republican?!?!?!?!!!

I know I rarely post news articles but I came across this on Bartcop, and decided to post it.

"I don't consider myself a Republican. Never have. Given what some of the party base represent, I'm relieved not to carry that burden. It may be necessary to support Republicans at times - in the war on terror, for example, we have precious little choice right now. But no-one should ignore the dark thread of big-government intolerance that exists in the G.O.P. It's still there; and it threatens you and me."
-- Andrew Sullivan, who's been on his knees before Republicans since the first time I heard his name.
What do you mean you're not a Republican?

---"It hurts me to say this, Mr President, but your spokesman's statement today on your behalf has just made matters far worse. Senator Santorum believes that gay people should be subject to criminal prosecution for their private, adult consensual relationships. He has equated homosexuality with the abuse of minors. He has associated homosexual relationships with bestiality. If that is an example of "inclusiveness," then what would exclusiveness be? For the president to call the criminalization of an entire group of people the position of an "inclusive man" leaves me simply speechless."
--Andrew Sullivan, a gay man in love with a gay-hating party of Nazis

Sounds like Andrew Sullivan has FINALLY figured out that the Republican Party (in general) and the President (in particular)...nows here's a news flash Andrew... HATES GAYS!!!!

Even Log Cabin has figured that out but it doesn't matter because they hate gays too. LOL.

In fact, I would be very interested to hear ANY GAY MAN WHO VOTED FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN 2000 explain to us how they reconcile voting for a party that openly hates them, doesn't try to hide it, doesn't apologize when caught expressing their hatred.

It's like casting your vote for Fred Phelps because thats EXACTLY how the Republican Party as a whole feels about gay people.

More words from and about Sullivan in the reply. Andrew has come out swinging against Senator Santorum and the party he never belonged to! LOL. I'm glad SOMETHING finally woke him up.

REALITY CHECK: "One of your letter writers asked, 'Do any of the other three states with sodomy laws impose jail time?' In 1999, the state of Oklahoma raised the prison term for consensual sex by gay couples from 10 years to 20 years. A felony, consensual sex between two adult men or between two adult women in Oklahoma carries the same penalty as same-sex rape." Just more "inclusiveness" out there (NT) -- Markus, 08:23:42 04/30/03 Wed
