I want to beat a “Log Cabin Republican” with a log. No not that kind of log. Well maybe, is he cute?
I have been thinking of filling this blog with gay marriage posts focusing on the big case in the golden state – being treated as a third class citizen, and having to live every day in fear, is starting to wear on me.
So when I saw this, on the blue I think, referring to this dk post, I had to post about it.
I don’t know if the poll was well done – you’ll have to check that for yourselves.
Apparently this article is by Kos himself…
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m putting the finishing touches on my new book, American Taliban, which catalogues the ways in which modern-day conservatives share the same agenda as radical Jihadists in the Islamic world. But I found myself making certain claims about Republicans that I didn’t know if they could be backed up. So I thought, “why don’t we ask them directly?” And so, this massive poll, by non-partisan independent pollster Research 2000 of over 2,000 self-identified Republicans, was born.
The results are nothing short of startling.
Ultimately, these results explain why it is impossible for elected Republicans to work with Democrats to improve our country. Their base are conspiracy mongers who don’t believe Obama was born in the United States, that he is the second coming of Lenin, and that he is racist against white people. They already want to impeach him despite the glaringly obvious lack of high crimes or misdemeanors. If any Republican strays and decides to do the right thing and try to work in a bipartisan fashion, they suffer primaries and attacks. Even the Maine twins have quit cooperating out of fear of their homegrown teabaggers.
Given what their base demands, and this poll illustrates them perfectly, it’s no wonder the GOP is the party of no.
Here were the poll’s answers about us:
GAYS
Should openly gay men and women be allowed to serve in the military?
Yes 26
No 55
Not Sure 19Should same sex couples be allowed to marry?
Yes 7
No 77
Not Sure 16Should gay couples receive any state or federal benefits?
Yes 11
No 68
Not Sure 21Should openly gay men and women be allowed to teach in public schools?
Yes 8
No 73
Not Sure 19Oof. That’s some serious neanderthal action going on. Gays can’t serve their country, teach children, get married, or even have civil unions. That’s the GOP agenda for gays, which makes the existence of the Log Cabin Republicans that much more of a mystery.
It was that last line that got to me today – “the existence of log cabin republicans”. I’m going to be very mean to the logheads from now on.
