Why do Log Cabin Republicans stay loyal and never threaten to bolt the party?
   
Can't get one stinking Republican Senator to vote for repeal of DADT, yet I never hear about any Log Cabin Republicans threatening to replace them with someone who might vote in their best interest? Why is that? Anyone know?

Don

Thanks for the incite Don.  :whatever:

I happen to know someone on another board who is a Log Cabin Republican, and the issues he's interested in aren't issues such as marriage etc.

2. The question should be why are they Republicans to begin with?
   
The answer to that would probably cover your initial question as well.

Maybe because the 1 I know is interested in Economics? is self sufficient? and is confident enough in himself that he doesn't feel the need to identify as a gay man 1st? has no desire to marry his partner even though they're committed? loves his Country?

Well, Don, it's awfully homophobic of you to think that just because they're gay, they have to be stupid too.

Perhaps to some Log Cabin Republicans repeal of DADT and other social issues are lower down the priority list at the moment.

You pieces of crap look at every part of life through the mindset of what is in it for me.
That is why you can`t ever grasp that most of us look at things based on what is in the best interest of the country and therefore will ultimately be in my best interests.

Could be they think the Military can take care if itself, rather than have a bunch of political hacks, stickin' their peckers where they don't belong!

5. Because they don't vote with their sex drive.
 They have practical political reasons for not supporting the Democrats - primarily that they are not socialists or communists.
How could any non-gun grabbing, non-hardcore command-and-control socialist person vote Democratic these days?

Wow tuckessee. You're going to stir up the pot a bit, I see. :-)
So,...you're saying a democrap vote is either a socialist or communist vote? Say it ain't so?
