Rick Warren and his other idiotic preacher, his record...what record?, and swallowed his empty rhetoric. I was an ardent Hillary supporter all the way through and still am...these idiotic so-called left folks who went for the Kool-aid really amaze me. So now we have escalated war in Afghanistan, bank bailouts, and going backwards quickly on gay rights. Hillary would have done much better for the gay community, and would have fought for it. The Left wanted Edwards or Obama, or anyone but Hillary. What fools. So we have Mr. Popularity, no experience, all talk.

I truly despise these type of people who can't think their way out of a paper bag yet think they are so smart. They continue to lambast us, the truly smart people. Mountainers.

I tried to talk to my smart, educated lesbian friends, some of whom were for B0 from the start, and some who converted after supporting Hillary. I talked about McClurkin; I talked about B0 refusing to have pics with Gavin Newsome; I talked about his comments about how "God is in the mix" for male/female marriages only; I talked about how he never marches in Pride parades, and didn't give any gay media interviews until the end of the primary. I talked about everything Hillary has done for our community. I talked about it all, to no avail, and saw my friendships withered almost to nothing. They all voted for B0, IMHO because he is part black, and they thought that meant something specific about who he is and what he would do, contrary to all evidence. They were fooled, and now we will all pay. You’re right, it was all there.

I'm a newly AARP straight lady/woman/female whose life in the arts/teaching/childcare in a major USA metropolitan area has educated me beyond what I ever wanted to know about the "simple hell human beings give other human beings," to paraphrase a line from my all time favorite novel To Kill A Mockingbird. From that novel and my life so far I've also learned of the simple, daily kindnesses one human being bestows on another--at home, church, school, in neighbhorhood, city and beyond. Kindness of mind and kindness of thought works well for everybody, especially in the hard times. I say it again, Amy: you, your many friends on these blogs and millions of Americans have the compassion, smarts and work ethic of our HRC to do the right thing for We the People (not We the Voting Bloc) We just gotta keep going, folks. We are civilian politicians. Keep, keep going. Thanks again for another great, heartfelt post, R3 Amy.

Many, many of my friends refused to hear me as I told them about Obama beginning his campaign with preachers and Donnie McClurkin parading throughout the South demonizing gays and talking about Jesus saving McClurkin from the evil of homosexuality. It was all there. He had The Faith Tour and The Gospel Tour. We watched as The Democratic Platform tried to leave us out this year since Donna Brazille stated that gay rights had no place alongside of civil rights for blacks. These people just plain refused to look at it. They denied it. They can all go to hell. I've kept yelling since the man took office. Now I'll say this. It would be typical for a man on the DL to do something like this. Maybe, we should finally let Larry Sinclair speak.

You can't overstate the importance of McCain's vote. The Gay Marriage Ban died when it didn't even get 50 votes in a Republican-controlled Senate, let alone the 66 needed to pass. Voting 'No' as a Republican, <em>McCain killed the Marriage Amendment</em>. If that horror had passed in the Senate, it would have sailed through the states and become the 28th Amendment. Bush threw his whole Presidency behind the Marriage Amendment. McCain killed the fucking thing--and paid for it politically with the Republican base. But according to Obama, McCain = Bush. Do the math. If McCain = Bush, then Gay Rights = zero. “This is a reminder that all voters should vote their conscience”
