He doesn’t understand why gay voters don’t make cause with the GOP because of Islamic jihad? Ken, when your party’s biggest faces are guys like the Reverends Falwell and Robertson who said on TV after 9-11 that this happened because we tolerate gays and lesbians, gay voters aren’t going to gravitate towards that party nor will they gravitate a party that used gay marriage opposition to win re-election for its candidates. I’m glad that the guy is able to feel open about who he is but I think he’s clueless to why gay voters by and large are skeptical of the Republican party.

I think they honestly expect us to just ignore all that. It’s obviously a big joke to the establishment GOP - they use gays as a wedge issue for the walnut-brained Bible Belt voters, and then run around, Roman emperor-style, with young interns. And then people like Mehlman are shocked when nobody “gets it”. We get the joke, buddy, it’s just that some of us still have a conscience.
