I think it is time we start boycotting gay Republicans. Before you have sex with anyone, ask them if they are a Democrat, Independent or Republican. If Republican don't have sex with them until they promise to give up their views, and support of a party, that is hurting and discriminating against gay people around the world.
Well I'm taking your thread with a degree of humor. There are so many, especially younger guys that are apolitical. You see it here on RJ.
Come on, here you are at someone's house and your invitee is hot to get his hands all over you and then you stop him....
Are you a democrat or republican? Do you view her as post turtle??
The most common response would be "What"??
If he says, "my parents are republican", you inform him...
"I'm sorry, you flunked, you don't get my body", you must convert and state allegiance to the democratic party and recite this antiPalin recessitation...
Now now... gay Republicans need love too. They probably didn't get enough love when they were kids so they need extra loving now. Besides, could you really say no to some of the ones on here if they asked? Just stuff a gag in their mouths and everything will be fine.
Really? This is quite ironic, I mean we don't like being suppressed but we can suppress a political party because of the MAJORITY of their beliefs! I don't like the majority of gay people around where I live, but that doesn't mean that I, by any means, HATE all of them! That seems just a little like bigotry! Not saying that I like or back up the complete majority of republicans or democrats for that matter, but I do believe in OPEN beliefs of any sort, that doesn't mean they have to be acted upon. For the fact I actually hate both McCain and Obama! I would never vote for either one of these two lunatics.

vote Bob Barr 08 or Ralph Nader 08 or Cynthia Mckinney 08
you do have options.....
and no need to boycott.. just dont be shy around them if you have a problem with their political affiliations.... freedom of speech is a precious thing
HndsmKansan saidWell I'm taking your thread with a degree of humor. There are so many, especially younger guys that are apolitical. You see it here on RJ.
they get to be apolitical because other people like them and those that felt compassionately for them have fought the long hard fight against Republicans and the right for them.. remember, not too long ago, it was a felony in many states to take it up the ass. hell.. sucking a cock for that matter.. anything other than the missionary position with intent to procreate was considered sodomy in many places.. including my homestate of georgia.. (so they are just being the typical non-respectful spoiled brats who dont know where true freedom comes from... like most kids from every generation)
Alpha13 saidDude, there has to be more than one viewpoint in the world. Two, certainly is not enuf for me.
so in regards to homosexuality . are there two correct viewpoints... my opinion, i have known my entire life i was gay, and that i was born this way.. i did not get to choose.. did you? (so there is not always two viewpoints to every issue, imo)
and of course there are many different variations of views.. and there are many different presidential canidates who make those options available
And yes I agree, there are many points of view. I don't agree with the parties here in my country, but one has more ideals like I do, even though I have to sacrifice some things I believe in.

Sorry Ms. Lysistrata, Though amusing, this thread is a bit superfluous. Those of us that have the balls to express our views contrary to the "Fascist Fag Movement" have either already found the perfect guy that appreciates our ability to think for ourselves, or are just so damn hot, there are plenty of mindless twinks that will bend over with the flash or a Platinum Card, that the bitter queens are useless to us anyway.
lvyr saidim pretty sure there are not words to describe how disturbing this thread is- on so many levels
there is always some truth in jokes, i cant believe how much hatred there are in your hearts
hatred... it is the subconsious self hatred that many dont understand in regards to the gay fiscal conservatives siding with the social conservatives and their evangelical agenda.. which includes devaluing homosexuals to sub-equality
its not hatred.. its confusion ... there is another choice.. Libertarian
even the Dr Ron Paul wont vote for george mcsame, but yet "fiscally conservative" gays will.. lmao.. confusion at its best

who was judging you..
you are the one who has made judgment on the words of others claiming them to be of hate, when you yourself do not know from where the words came from...... and i, like many others, just expressed the confusion of homosexuals aligning themselves with the homosexual-oppressors.. thats all
oh.. and fyi.. not everyone wants to be at peace with you... as a matter of fact.. some want to suppress your equality because you are gay
you are the one who has made judgment on the words of others claiming them to be of hate, when you yourself do not know from where the words came from...... and i, like many others, just expressed the confusion of homosexuals aligning themselves with the homosexual-oppressors.. thats all
you are absolutely right that i did judge, and that was wrong of me to do but i still feel that just because gays are republican, does not mean they hate themselves
to know that for sure, you must talk to them about that subject
Seems rather absurd... I think it is time we start boycotting gays. Before you have sex with anyone, ask them if they are a bisexual, gay, or straight... if anything other than gay don't have sex with them until they promise to give up their views, and support of a movement, that is hurting and discriminating against gay people around the world.
I bet that statement made by just substituting a few words would haveYOU hopping mad..... so discriminate against all that fall outside your narrow views.... yepp has to be a joke.
Honestly Politics seems to be like baseball teams with no one really willing to compromise or try and view another point of view. Its just get a platform and go with it until you die. Don't even change it after the grave either.
So why bother?
That, and a Republican Gay would probably be at some make-me-straight church thing.

Gay Republicans are the ultimate oxymoron, with the emphasis on moron. Selfish in the extreme, obsessed with their own material gain while other gays suffer from the policies they support, they will fuck you in bed, and fuck you out of bed, too.
Any gay who deals with them deserves the title of "sucker" in every way that word means.
I use to be a registered Republican. I have switched to being an Independent. The Reps. can go fcuk themselves and their family values. I would recommend voting Democrat. The upcoming agenda is going to be anti-gay and wasteful spending.

Ron Paul was a one issue candidate. As the Libertarian Candidate in 1988 I voted for him. If little fiefdom as THE Conservative that doesn't support the war on terror, gave him a "small" following in the Republican primary many in an attempt by cross over democrats and the media to try an embarrass the Republican establishment that equated his candidacy to the annoyance of a housefly. And I'm sure that he'll flip flop when it is politically expedient. He is now extremely "Pro-Life," in complete contrast to Libertarian philosophy.
Bob Barr is this years Libertarian Candidate. He was my congressman in the 90's and was one of the leader in the House in the Clinton Impeachment Hearings. As a Conservative Republican he was also a leader in the War on Drugs, again going against Libertarian ideas of individual freedoms.
I voted Libertarian from1988 till 2000. I voted for Bush in 2004 exclusively because of 9/11 and would do it again. I am voting for McCain because the Libertarians became politically expedient with their nomination of Barr.

And the Democrats with be empty words and even more wasteful spending so what is your point?
Aquanerd said And the Democrats with be empty words and even more wasteful spending so what is your point?
More wasteful spending than during the last 8 years? More national debt than we have seen in our entire history? More fiscal chaos than I have seen in nearly 60 years?
Now how do Democrats earn that distinction you give them, when it is only Republicans who have ever done so poorly in this regard? Are we talking rhetoric here, or actual facts?
Please tell us the factual examples where Democrats have ever surpassed the fiscal irresponsibilities of the current Republican Administration. Can you cite them, please?
Or are these just canned Republican speaking points you heard somewhere, with not the slightest idea what you're actually saying? Please enlighten us with your personal financial insights.
this is the most important election in my 35 years of life.... the war, the economy, health care, education, the supreme court..... so forgive me if i care enough to pay attention
Just saying - there isn't a chance in Hell I'd ever consider sex or even a date with the OP in this turgid post! By the way - there are so many gorgeous, hunky intelligent Republican men on RJ - believe me - I'm betting they never - ever have to stoop so low as to put out for anything or anyone that isn't a top contender!

so ,, do you support neoconservatism.. and the war in iraq.. you would have to be blind to not see the direct connection... and if not, then please explain to me, do you support the iraq war, and what does victory in iraq mean to you? (simple question seeing how you are supporting a canidate who said he could see 100 more years of american soldiers in iraq, so at $120billion a year + tens of thousands of human lives, i would love to hear your reasoning)
on second thought.. nevermind.. i dont need to hear your reasoning, you have apparently thought this out and have made up your mind,,, but i will say this,, the war on terror is against those that did us harm.. osama bin laden... "to the gates of hell" .. that i support...
Let's not forget that Obama said he would completely remove Pakistan? Come on everyone has their up and down sides. Are you just trying to get an uproar out of people with different thoughts or beliefs? Not to mention that when you vote strictly Republican or strictly Democrat aren't you just denying yourself of the real world issues. I mean I don't agree with half the things that the parties are claiming to be part of, but both parties are LYING in so many more ways than one. Besides what Democrat has really stood up for you; what Republican? Are we really fighting for what WE believe, or what the majority is telling us what is "right" or "wrong?"

I think he said he would attack terrorist targets inside Pakistan with or without the approval of the Pakistani government.
Alas, I tend to sympathise with your point.... but the way to combat politiking is to question, to analyse and call out falsehoods wherever you see them.
In all seriousness, and in contradiction to my earlier post (which I intended as a joke), I think that if you are fucking random people then it is a bit rich to call them out on their politics; and if its more than that then different political stances do not preclude relationships (although they can certainly be a source of comedy and friction!). We are all human after all, and we are all a good deal more than our politics.
Um, I don't know about that. The last thing I'd want to happen is to have an "us versus them" divide in the gay community. We should be supporting, not ostracizing, each other.
Unfortunately, a lot of you took this is a joke That is exactly what a lot of Jews did when Hitler was coming to power. The Gay Republicans who support the Republican party are like the Jews and Germans who first supported Hitler, it is not my problem, why should I stand up for what I believe in. These Gay Republicans are supporting a party that want to deny you basic civil rights, can't you see it, basic civil rights.
If you support them, or deny what is happening, you are just as bad as they are. It is time to confront what they stand for, the bigotry, hatred, not of just gays, but of other minorities, that is why most of these guys support the party.

With as little love for the Republican cause as I have, I nonetheless think that this is an extremely unhelpful analogy and one so problematic that it is as good as false.
We are not talking about the establishment of a totalitarian state here. We are not talking about the removal of rights but about removing institutionalized prejudice to give us rights. We are talking about *gaining* equality.
There are all kinds of Republican, and some are entirely consistent with LGBT equality. I do not think that is the case with the McCain/Palin ticket.... but they are not Hitler, and the LGBT people who support them, though perhaps woefully misguided, deserve better than to be compared to Nazi sympathizers.
People often ask me; "How can you be gay and vote Republican?"
To which I answer; "How can you vote Democrat and call yourself an American?"
Things must be tough for the Obama camp if you have to threaten to cut off sex to get your way. Koaa2, if you have a partner, he has my deepest condolences.

You'll see the answer to your question in the OP's absurd and irresponsible comments linking Republicans to Nazi's which he posted later - approximately five posts above. Linking Republicans to Nazis? Good job! What a fine, decent, intelligent piece of work the OP is. He owes apologies to every Jewish person and every Republican in existence.

Well, I'd be delighted if we had gotten into references to themes in ancient Greek comedy, like Lysistrata by Aristophanes. Withholding sex is so classic.
Still, I see a certain irony that gay Repubs might suffer blue balls as they try to enact blue laws for the good of the rabble. How remarkable are these gay Repubs who support polices that help their pockets as they suppose, but in reality hurt those other treasures that dwell so close by?

Oh yes, I see that. Where he accurately draws a parallel between the rabid Nazi hatred of Jews and the rabid hatred of the Conservative Right against gays?
Using gays as a wedge issue in the last 2 US Presidential elections, like the Nazis used Jews to gain power in Germany? The hate mongers always need a target for their hate oratory, or they have no oratory.
For the Nazis it was the Jews and the "defeatists" in the First World War; for the Republicans it's gays and anyone who opposes the war in Iraq.
As a student and teacher of history the similarities are striking. History goes round and round, and only those shouting the slogans they're given are too blind to see the reality they're overlooking.

You honestly need some sort of counseling and anger management classes if you truly believe this crap you're spewing. Buddy, there are lots of Gay Republicans who are also very good people. It's just silly, not to mention arrogant, to suggest that our personal political beliefs (many of which have absolutely NOTHING to do with our own sexual preference or any "gay issues" at all) make us "misguided", or "self-loathing", or hate-filled bigots just because we don't happen to march to the Democrat drummer.
That being said, this argument is pretty much a waste of time since YOU are obviously not changing your mind, and I am certainly not going to start walking round in my life playing "The Victim".

So - Red - you seriously want to say Republicans have a "rabid hatred" of gay people and anyone who opposed the war in Iraq? Many Republicans would find your contention shocking and revolting - to say the least. No Republican I know hates gays or those with differing views on the war or how best to keep America safe from terrorists. More alarming to me personally is that you mentioned you are a teacher. Wow. I don't know what I would think about having any child of mine taught by someone with such thoughts. How could you possibly teach children without espousing your "rabid" views?
"Many Republicans would find your contention shocking and revolting - to say the least"
And many more would find your contention completely agreeable. More than don't, hate gays, are fearful of gays, and wear that affectation like a badge of honor.
Anyone who has read my posts for the past year knows that I find Republican ideas horrific, and frankly I think that the Democrats are too conservative as well.
That said, I find dismaying this notion that Republicans are bad people. I think their ideas are wrong for reasons I've written at length about, but as far as their character, probity, and general good nature, I am pleased to think of Curious, Jockbod, John43620, and a number of others as friends, and I hope they feel the same way. Not for their politics, but for the many other things that make them up as people.
One of the reasons I left RJ for a while was because the air was getting poisonous around here, and I realized I had gotten sucked into contributing to that, and I hated it. I jeer at ideas; I am scornful of certain beliefs, but I will not demonize people I otherwise like and admire.
The system is successful when both sides of the aisle are being constructive, productive, innovative while remaining true to their parties core beliefs. I , for one, would feel much better knowing there were out gays on both sides fighting for the betterment of this country.
Boycott gay Republicans? How about encourage gay republicans? That way, what it means to be "Republican" will evolve and hopefully at some point there won't be this battle. Being Republican didn't always equate being intolerant towards people, today GLBTI people. Frankly, it was when the Southern Democrats fled the Democratic party in the 1960s and 1970s that this current of intolerance really started to spread in the GOP. Only a decade later in the mid 70s to 80s did the religious right see an opportunity to gain political power within the party. They are the biggest problem!
It's my hope that after McCain loses the election the GOP will start to abandon these religious freakazoids and get back to what they used to represent. Differences in economic policy, defense policy, foreign policy, etc are prime for political debate and welcome in our free society. Human rights and liberties should not be made into political arguments in a FREE SOCIETY. The GOP fell victim to making them such and has thus ruined their reputation among rational and caring Americans who believe in the core values of our constitution and bill of rights.
So no! Don't ban Gay Republicans, talk to them and encourage them to lobby their elected officials to end this Evangelical and religious insanity.

I really am sorry but that is the single most retarded thing I have ever heard. If anyone is going to fuck me they need a nice cock and courage. Their political views are of no consequence whatsoever. You advocate boycotting sex as a "carrot" for liberal political views. I bet you don't get laid often.

If the LCR could oust the religious right from the republican party, a lot would change, I imagine. That is exactly what LCR needs to do to gain acceptance if not domination of the party. I'm not a sociologist but it's clear to me that a lot of gay people have conservative approaches to many issues. It's not all stupid. Like it or not, however, there is guilt by association. LCR is far too quiet on their stand about the christian right, if they even do disagree with them, which, it's hard to say if they do or don't. They seem to spend more time justifying being republicans than actually accomplishing anything.
If you're referring to the economic crisis, specifically, that's just one crisis, and there are many, so the fact is, whoever get's elected is fucked for all of history unless he or she turns out to be jesus, superman, or the great houdini in disguise.

But not enough of those "shocked" Republicans to influence their party platform or politics. And despite whatever individual Republicans may say that sounds gay-sympathetic, in the end most of them vote the party line. Like McCain the so-called "maverick" who gets great PR for mouthing off his objections to some Bush legislative initiatives, then votes for over 90% of them anyway.
An argument that has been heard before in history: the party may do terrible things to certain people, but the party members are basically nice people, once you get to know them. Individually we're lovely folks, it's just somebody else in charge who's the bastard. So any criticism you throw at our party doesn't apply to us; we just support its goals, so our skirts are clean. HUH???
Well, since DancerJack hasn't gotten around to it yet.........
Seriously. This has to go down as the most ridiculous overreaction to a silly topic ever. I can't even bring myself to bring the popcorn eating cat out on this one.

Yeah that sounds like a great idea, let's get on their bottom step and DISCRIMINATE! First of all I know some cool ass gay republicans and they would not be interested in just sex without a comittment. Maybe it's time you evaluated yourself and your beliefs? just a thought LOL.
John, thanks for posting that video...spells it out pretty clearly, and anyone who doubts its truth only needs to GOOGLE any part of it. Knowledge is power
These banks and wall street tycoons were playing with BILLIONS of BILLIONS of dollars that became one huge Ponzi scheme But it made a circuitry link between all the investment and insurance houses and they are all playing musical chairs right now
You're definitely looking up the wrong ass if you're thinking a bunch of sour mortgages had anything to do with this meltdown
* denial * self-loathing * suspension of common sense * extreme self-interest & selfishness * faulty logic * rigid "team player" mentality * non-empathetic relationship with other gays * hostility to gay causes * open to gay sex & gratification, but not to gay lifestyle * guilt over gay orientation * stereotypical gay bitchiness, without gay sympathies * obsession to force their views onto others
Not all Gay Republicans exhibit all of these characteristics, but one or more are present in all.
Chizzad saidJust watch it here, most problems in government start many years earlier than they appear!
Apparently it started when the republicans took control I know that there is a video going around blaming the CRA (from like 30yrs ago?) for our meltdown .. but here is a video showing republican fingerprints on the trigger ..
Since 2006, he has been a columnist for The Independent newspaper, where he usually takes lines contrary to the newspaper's general political position. He denies that global warming is caused by increased greenhouse gas emissions, claiming it is due to solar radiation.
Don't know if I would trust that columnist .. "so Dominic .. you are saying the heat of the sun is causing global warming BRILLIANT!!"
Koaa2 saidI think it is time we start boycotting gay Republicans. Before you have sex with anyone, ask them if they are a Democrat, Independent or Republican. If Republican don't have sex with them until they promise to give up their views, and support of a party, that is hurting and discriminating against gay people around the world.
LOL I guess I am so lucky, because I am independent. Yeah I have to agree with you more... No more Republicans in this country.

We'd be here all day naming columnist's we didn't trust. The only thing a person can do is take what information they offer and check it out. As I said, in general, it's all a mess.

I did check it out .. it the same stuff that has been coming from the McCain Minions spin machine of distortions and mis-truths .. I wonder if he had to pay them royalties?

You know those crazy journalists. Wonder if Dan Rather was paid under the table with all his bullshit he was slopping in the last election ? Eh, still remains a mess.

I'm boycotting you because you're an idiot. Actually I'll forget who you are in about five minutes. But same thing.
I was a Republican when Ron Paul was running for a President. Now I don't want to be a Republican because I am not a big John McCain supporter. He make Republicans look bad. John McCain agreed 90% of the time with President Bush. If you want to find out for yourself, then google it. If we have another four more years like President Bush, then the economy will collapse. Wee will have more wars that we cannot afford and most of all we will lose our true freedom in this country.
Red Vespa, It's interesting you bring up Lysistrata, Aristophanes wrote her character as an Athenian, Sparta conquered and sacked Athens a few years after he wrote the play.
That should be a lesson, "Progressives" are losers.
Getting back to the original intent of the thread; Koaa2, and those who support his idea, I suggest you try some introspection. How low will you stoop to impose yourselves on others? What kind of society would we live in if your mob mentality ruled? You people are going mad, as evidenced by your vicious attacks on Jonathon Crutchley. You're ugly.
Funny you should bring up an ancient City State called Sparta John
A society where it was thought best to kill and over run your neighbors Where every child was inspected immediately after birth and if the was the smallest imperfection this baby was dashed to death on a pile of rocks...
Does patriotism demonstrate a lack of common sense to you?
* extreme self-interest & selfishness
WTF! We want what's best for our country, our only self interest is to live in a free and democratic state that defends itself. I suggest you gay democrats have the "extreme self interest and selfishness at heart. The democrats pay lip service to the LGBT agenda and you think they'll deliver so you continue to drink the coolaid. You vote your selfish interest, we vote for the defense of the Republic.
* faulty logic
Your logic is driven by your selfish agenda.
* rigid "team player" mentality
I'd say you democrats have the mob mentality. You would personally attack anyone who disagrees with your views, support or participate in civil disobedience and anything else you can think of to impose your views on others. That's the one charactersitic of democrats I particularly loath, your control freak mentality.
* non-empathetic relationship with other gays
Ummmm, how do you know whom we empathize with? I'm a Republican and volunteer for Equality Toledo and Equality Ohio. It's a state issue.
* hostility to gay causes
Ummm, I refer to the above response.
* open to gay sex & gratification, but not to gay lifestyle
Define the "gay lifestyle". I proudly display my rainbow bumpersticker right next to my "Veterans for McCain" bumpersticker. I'm out and proud and a staunch Republican. I serve as an example to other Republicans that we gay and lesbian Americans are just as patriotic as they are and it's really difficult sometimes with the bad examples you Stonewallers display.
* guilt over gay orientation
Are you out of your mind? How do you know anyone elses mind?
* stereotypical gay bitchiness, without gay sympathies
How do you know every gay Republican and their behavior?
