Ha! but the GOP see them the same though....a threat to Mostly White, Christian America....
To them, you are just the same as a Homosexual. Even if you don't like gays, you still are not liked by the man or his party that you endorse. |

I don't see how anyone who wants positive change would even consider Hillary.
She is effectively running on the same platform Bush did in 2000.
"You liked my daddy, vote for me and we will bring back those days."
Hillary changes it to:
"You loved my husband, vote for me and you'll have Bill in the White House again."
I think this country needs (and is ready for) someone who is not familialy connected to the last 20 years of executives.
Hillary is an establishment candidate, plain and simple. Status quo with some minor changes to make people think things are different.

People sexual orientation isn't much of my business really, the way I see it. So I'm don't know why you'd assume that. |

Personally I always thought of it like electing the cheerleader to captain the football team to use a similar euphemism. But mostly I just don't like her for lacking the guts to publicly disown and divorce Bill for being a lecherous and dodgy man that he is, it shows a lack of backbone or perhaps too much leniency to ignore things for the betterment of ones career and the US Democrat party.
No.. tut tut, don't sully the nest dear, it'll ruin your future career and ambitions in the party... :mad: |

Unfortuanetly the people who run the country don't see it this way. They want the same family to remain in power. After hill's two terms than another Bush will be in power. And after that there will be a bloody revolution led by me. and then I will be the one in power. But will be corrupted by girls with big boobs which will eventually assasinate me and one of my big breasted mistresses will be the next ruler and her name will be Lenina. |

Right now, I think that a Hillary/Obama would be a good choice for Democrats. I think they would get the women vote as well as the minority vote.

I think this ticket would be a best case scenario for the Republicans. Any ticket with Hillary on it is a loser, and if you pair Obama with her that would be the end of him for the '08 election. |

You just blatantly failed to validate your argument with a sweeping generalization that "Gay does not equal Muslim and therefore has no worth." That's like me telling you, "Muslims aren't homosexuals and therefore you are wrong for all of your pro-Muslim jargon."
Can you explain to me that because homosexuals are not a religion nor an ethnic/racial group they are therefore not worth equal rights and protection?
Two of my five points were talking about hate CRIMES. I went to your link where you are talking about hate SPEECH. There's a difference between someone calling you a f@gg0t and someone beating the out you because you're a f@gg0t. But apparently your hero Ron Paul doesn't get the difference and maybe you don't either.

Plus, most people from his generation aren't exactly pro-gay rights eigther you know. I don't see why this comes across as such a surprise. |
So if he also says it's okay to lynch black people too I'll just go "pffffft, old people. You know their generation and their black-hanging ways." Yeah that makes sense. Let's just support out of date views and vote them in office.
And this does come as a surprise when there are plenty of candidates, REPUBLICANS even, that have a fairer record when it comes to gay cvil rights than Ron Paul. |

But it beomes your business if you support a candidate that has one of the worst records of gay civil rights today.
I can say "Oh it's none of my business if you do your Muslim rituals," and then turn around and vote for a candidate that says, "Let's make sure that Muslims are not allowed to work in our military." |

Jesus. You missed the point entirely.

No that's not what I said, that's what you assumed.

Again, you missed the point entirely. Yes, I have been ing assaulted in the past before by multiple people and called sand******, but I'm not going to support BS legislation because of it since we ALREADY HAVE LAWS dealing with violent crime.

Oh okay that totally justifies it then. If he says it's okay to lynch black people too I'll just go "pffffft, old people. You know their generation and their black-hanging ways." |
No, that's not what I said either. That's something you assumed again.

Was this supposed to reinforce your point that Ron Paul is cool, because it's okay to validate an out-of-date believe that homosexuality is wrong?
And this does come as a surprise when there are plenty of candidates, REPUBLICANS even that have a fairer record when it comes to gay cvil rights than Ron Paul. |
You won't find a single anti-war/pro-constitution candidate at this moment, that was my point. Not Ron Paul views on homosexuality. Do you care about anything else other than things that barely effect you? Like serving in the military and the other things you mentioned that are trivial compared to everything that's at stake? Or do you still need clarification? Chill out dude. |

Why just why do we want gays around? |
Because when you go into a gay club, the hot fag hags that follow their flaming gay guy friends are an untapped resource because NO MEN are hitting on them. Essentially, gay men create an utopia for loser heteros who can't seem to score. |

Okay then what's your point? You said gay people aren't a religion or a race...and that means what?

Your group of people are already protected under the constitution, because it falls under "ethnic/racial" groups. Therefore, you don't need extra lagislation. Gays/lesbians do because they have no protection.
| quote: | | You won't find a single anti-war/pro-constitution candidate at this moment, that was my point. Not Ron Paul views on homosexuality. |
Yeah I get your point. That's the same reason why I'll probably vote for a Dem: because there's no single perfect candidate out there but at least the Dems don't hate on the gays.
| quote: | | Do you care about anything else other than things that barely effect you? |
Do you care about anything else other than things about Palestine and your Muslim heritage? Because when I read in the PDD, that's all you seem to be talking about. In fact you're always making posts about Muslims and Palestinians. Jeez d00d, can you not understand a different minority group? Are you empathic, or just another selfish snotty Muslim?
| quote: | | Like serving in the military and the other things you mentioned that are trivial compared to everything that's at stake? Or do you still need clarification? Chill out dude. |
Of course they are trivial, but obnoxious none-the-less. I want to see you live your entire life with certain restrictions based on your ethnicity then tell you to shut up because there's other important issues besides your ethnicity. :haha:
There are more important issues out there, but those issues are not being suppressed because gay people are stalling everyone demanding equal rights, but because the conservatives aren't allowing gay people their equal rights so that we can all move forward. |
