but we could lose some elections, and he's not wrong or deserving of firing for saying so.

But we don't use those qualifiers the same way your using log cabin.

Or Anna Nevarro ? Hispanic republican women Anna...

You might think saying log cabin republican is a cute and nifty zing, but its light homophobia. just because someone is gay does not automatically mean they are locked into your exact mindset.


-source: Im gay. Just because someone does not have the same exact ideas you have does not mean they are a traitor to 'their people'. We are all complex, and referring to the lowest common denominator when finding fault is tacky as hell.

call them black repugs so people know what sellouts they are, same with log cabin repugs.

and then tried to defend that while introducing other minorities by saying ' black republican' while not using a jest.


you introduced soft homophobia with the 'log cabin' as a qualifier and defend that by saying 'black republican'. When we know full well the black qualifier in days gone past were horrific words I won't post here now.


I won't go away, because I won't deal with homophobia and gay slurs on a democratic site.


Sorry, Mary.

as black repugs do, sell out their own communities.

Do you now finally have it straight?

Do you understand?

It's not rocket science.

Now go back to whatever site you came from.

he could be Steve Kornacki, MSNBC, who seems to be republican.

But you choose to call him a log cabin republican. Honestly, I dont know what his sexual preference has to do with his job on MSNBC to comment on elections.

BTW you are using Log Cabin repug as a negative. Will you say Uncle Tom Carson? How about Maid Navarro?


And is there some clip where he says he is a 'log cabin republican' ? or is this just an ongoing talking point to stear a narrative AKA fake news.

The OP was about him seeming to relish talking about Dem loses.

I mentioned that he is a log cabin repug because WHAT THE FUCK IS ANYONE FROM THE LBGTQ COMMUNITY DOING BELONGING TO A PARTY THAT CONTINUALLY LEGISLATES AGAINST THEIR INTERESTS, just as I mention black repugs as well who sellout.

Now try to pull the wool from over your eyes and out of your ears as you leave. Your concern is noted.

House control down to 82.8% from 87% and senate down to 14.9%

It is very early but let's not pretend some of the early indications aren't the greatest. Republican enthusiasm was very high

But right now they're predicting a pick up of 36 seats, which would be fine -- we need 23.
