Can anyone explain this? Talk about voting against one's self interests.

The Log Cabin Republicans group announced Tuesday that it is endorsing Republican presidential candidate John McCain, and a top McCain campaign official showed up at the organization's "big tent" luncheon Tuesday to thank the group.

According to the statement released from the national gay Republican group, its board voted 12 to two to endorse both McCain and his chosen running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Log Cabin national President Patrick Sammon said the group would not disclose who cast the dissenting votes.

2. republicans always come together even if the subgroups loathe each other. ALWAYS. nt

[Skinner]

3. Yes, I can explain it.

They're called "Log Cabin Republicans."

[Matariki]

29. I can almost understand the McCain endorsment.

But Sarah 'pray away the gay' Palin. That I don't get.

[kirby]

4. They know that as long as they keep it in the airport bathrooms, no problem n/t

[Shakespeare]

5. Delusional self-hatred. This is the party of Larry Craig, after all.

And Charlie Crist and Lindsay Graham....etc. etc. etc.

[Matariki]

11. There's a difference between in and out of the closet.

Are they hoping to 'change their party from within'? Or what?

I just don't get it.

[blondeatlast]

14. They are republicans who just happen to be gay. To them, remaining rich and privileged

trumps all else.

[Growler]

28. yup, that's it!

Middle-income white guys with delusions of money, voting against the scary Black Taxer!!

[SuperTrouper]

12. Truly disappointing to see them cut their necks since Palin abhors them

:banghead:

[scheming daemons]

6. Just proves that, just like straight people, gays have their share of idiots too

[Matariki]

13. Like women voting for Palin.

:eyes:

[Cha]

23. Every race, creed, and persuasion has

more than their share of stupid, it's all about "me me me me", raging idiots.

[villager]

7. "The Kapo Kabin Republicans..."

n/t

[ccharles000]

8. This gay man endorses Obama.

[Cha]

9. They should be called

log cabin fascists.

[Barack_America]

10. I'm friends with a guy like this. And no, I can't explain this.

My friend and I don't talk politics anymore.

[libnnc]

15. I think they're low information, tax obsessed, shallow dipshits.

The few I've met gave me that impression.

[Matariki]

17. I remember when Dan Savage did a stint w/ the Log Cabin Repubs

Talked about 'changing the Republican party from within' or else it was a big cynical joke on his part. Not sure which.

[blondeatlast]

21. They'll always be white males no matter else what happens. Protecting their privileged

status trumps ALL else.

[DJ13]

16. Gay Profits before Gay Pride?

[dflprincess]

19. They're operating under the delusion that their money will protect them

when the wing-nuts start rounding people up.

[AllentownJake]

31. Probably will

The sin isn't being gay its being openly gay.

[ps1074]

18. Did Larry Craig make the announcement?

:eyes:

[SuperTrouper]

20. No, he was flushing the toilet

[WCGreen]

22. Jews for Hitler....

[renie408]

26. Good analogy. n/t

[zulchzulu]

24. They are STUPID IDIOTS... that's how you explain it

Talk about voting against your interests... idiots...

[rox63]

25. I guess they'll be lining up at Palin's church

So they can try to pray away the gay. :eyes:

[DevonRex]

33. LOL. That's kinda what I thought too. Shoulda read your post first. :)

[Matariki]

34. That's the part that really leaves me scratching my head.

I never really understood the Log Cabin Republican thing, but endorsing a Fundamentalist that wants to 'cure' gays? That's just over the top backwards.

[DevonRex]

30. I guess they want Sarah to pray for them so they'll turn straight.

[justiceischeap]

32. Internalized homophobia is my guess. (eom)

[cyr330]

35. What a bunch of fucking idiots.

They'll endorse anybody with an "R" behind his/her name.
