Former Bush campaign manager flips on gay marriage
[Link: news.yahoo.com…]
“The news that former Bush-Cheney campaign manager Ken Mehlman is now openly gay and will fundraise and strategize for the campaign to legalize gay marriage is a stunning reversal. During Mehlman’s tenure as head of the Republican National Committee and as an adviser to the 2004 Bush campaign, Mehlman helped spearhead some of the most aggressively anti-gay initiatives in American politics.
Though his sexuality was something of an open secret in Washington circles, in his public career Mehlman worked on , beginning with the proposed 2004 constitutional amendment to outlaw gay marriage.
Back in 2004, gay marriage was still a very effective wedge issue that the Republican Party used to generate high voter turnout in a tough election year, despite Vice President Dick Cheney’s public disagreement with the strategy.”
Now I don’t want anyone claiming anymore that there are no high profile Republicans in favor of gay marriage…. you’re wrong… wrong… wrong… this RINO is in favor of gay marriage :)
