Just exactly what you would expect from Queerty. After all, they are, "Free of an Agenda. Except that Gay One."
The one on California is funny though. The most powerful state economy in the entire country (which is still powering ahead despite the drought) and meeting just about every water goal it has set (without making a dent in economic growth). Yes, blame the liberals for stable policy. California has embarked on stability because the republicans have no say in anything.

All I need to know is what idiots in the gay community support the GOP! And those idiots do exist in the gay community!
The right wing is not capable in making an argument about the issues. The issues are too complex and intricate for any conservative to talk about. Pseudointellectuals are common amongst the right wing and Republican party, whom almost totally self absorbed egotistical megalomaniacs. The republican line of candidates for the upcoming election is disturbing and frightening. Any of these guys would collapse this nation in pursuit of dangerous egoism and self indulgence. The republican party was hijacked by the evils of corruption and dishonesty decades ago… This cancer had spread unabated and is now at monsterous levels.
It is the duty of citizens to oppose this monstrosity and vote democrat for the sake of the nation and everyones future. We cannot afford another republican in the Whitw House ever again.

Any one else notice ol' brother Huckabee mentioned how every disease but AIDS when he talked about how and what diseases should be focused on for finding a cure? I tell you, leave it up to an ol' hillbilly from either side to turn this election into a damn circus of the ignorant.

"Scalia is an example of some deep political and religious ties. Had the Republicans had an opportunity to line the Supreme Court with more of those plants, I would not be fairly represented. The Democrats gave me equality and I'll never forget how it made me feel. Justices Ginsburg, Sotomayor, Kagan and other affiliated justices all felt that my status in this Country was equal to that of other more popular Americans. All the while, I detested having our rights dangling before our twitching nostrils, beholden to one party to achieve equality felt as though our plight was being used. Equality is more than an election, more than a vote, more than a word."
Alistair Wiseman, You disappear when convenient. Appear to derail other commenters, disappear, appear. It must make you uncomfortable to speak candidly about equality.

@1EqualityUSA:
I don't live on these boards. I probably don't see everything addressed to me.
Your summation is how a lot of gay folks would characterize the gay marriage issue.
Was there a question in there?

@Xzamilio:
What are you talking about? Who is mad?
Please write in English.
@Mx. Truvada Amour: No. I never responded to him directly. I was posting very much in general, sweetie. So who owns this alias? I wonder…

Any prior post I have made was made in general to the gay republicans who still post here without any real logical basis behind their statements. This is to several people. Even though a certain troll is now making claims to the contrary, this was my aim.
There is only on lying here and it is not me.
October 29, 2015 at 1:10am
*one lying here.
I'll elaborate for everyone (and I mean everyone). Certain trolls think it is always about them and that they are the center of everything. They think everyone is responding to them (this is the egotisical megalomania I was discussing before).
I believe it's a combination of ignorance, dementia and egoism.

@Giancarlo85: Your puzzy stank. Your mamma's puzzy stink. Your daddy's puzzsnatch staaank.
@Alistair Wiseman:
Please point out any GOP candidate running that deserves the LGBT vote based on their record with that community. Or can you spare the time from pretending to be a victim?
Alistair Wiseman, this "summation" was in response to your having said, " There are thousands of gays that feel the Democrats are going to save them from the Republicans." You go away when it's convenient for you.
@1EqualityUSA: Certain trolls will defend republicans whenever and however they can. They will not listen to logic. Democrats are going to win big next year… Just like Trudeau did in Canada. Best not pay attention to attention seekers who support a party that is on a rapid downward slump.

@Alistair Wiseman: English isn't the problem… apparently comprehension is, and it's severely lacking on your part. You think anyone at Queerty has to malign your precious GOP candidates? Nope… the only thing that needs to be done is ask a question, press record, and let the stupid fly.
When Ralph Nader started to crop up again during Obama's first run, people were out for blood. I hope Bernie Sanders doesn't allow a Republican back in for 2016. I'd love to believe you, Giancarlo85, really and truly, but the electoral college has me giving the stink-eye to that squirrelly Independent from Vermont. He's out of his league, but can do huge damage to us, in his quest to be heard. George W. Bush lost the popular vote by 500,000, but took electoral college. wow. What an ass. #feeltheelectoral…

Haters gonna hate, potaters gonna potate.
Frankly, the author's statements about Dr. Carson reek of white-privilege racism, and shall be promptly forwarded to the NAACP and Congressional Black Caucus for immediate action.
No need to thank me—I'm just a responsible citizen doing his job.
@BJ McFrisky:
Notice how BJ can't define why the comment was supposedly bad? Hey BJ, nice try, but the Meme is based upon actual comments Carson made. Oooops, guess you are so busy defending anti-gay bigots that you forgot that sometimes people make anti-Semitic statements too.
You are forgiven though, it's so hard to keep up with all of the bigotry being spewed out by your party.
Cam, I wonder if big cash was used to hire Mormons, adept at persuasion, to come to these sites and represent. Our community is always underestimated We've honed the skill of weeding out untruths.
@1EqualityUSA: If Hillary gets the nomination (and that looks increasingly likely everyday), Sanders won't run as an independent. I know Trump will though. Trump has more of a chance of being Ross Perot, than Sanders would be.
Carson is the token black republican. Cam you are absolutely right.
Well we already know that FOX was doing it.

Brian (Jason SMEDS) and his "gay-identifying" b.s., BJ McFrisky and his Ann Coulteristic bombastic pro-bigotry stuff, Alistair Wiseman, who disappears when m0rmonism is brought up or if separation of Church and State is specifically asked about, poof– gone. One time Wiseman said he had a hot, Latino male lover. Instantly, I knew he was Mormon, as he uses whatever he can to worm his way into the online conversation, ingratiating himself. Do progressive outfits do this too? I think with true-blue gays, we've honed our b.s.-0-meter to see through it. We have had to be very aware, having grown up queer in a society that is so heterocentric. Hiring trolls from cult members adept at persuasion doesn't seem far fetched. Thanks for the fascinating article. I suppose it is naive of me to even ask this.
Giancarlo85, Trump signed that weird pledge that Rebiblicans are so fond of passing around as a litmus test for their own party. Do you remember the NOM pledge that that sociopath Romney and all the rest signed? You may be right. Though Trump, signing a pledge and saying that he won't run as anything other than Republican, seems fairly straightforward. Trump has a weird ego that may have him keeping his solemn promise. He's an odd bird. The Republican party is such a joke. I never would have ever thought that they could be this sorry. It's like watching a wreck in slow motion. I'm glad that their true colors are coming back to display for the world what darkness they embody. They do harm. They would even resort to unspeakable things to get what they want. I hope security detail is on it. The SCOTUS, also, was such a disappointing thing to behold these past two decades.
@1EqualityUSA: Trump's word is about as believable as the republican party itself. Trump is a liar and everyone knows that… everything is about his ego. His ego would literally explode if he doesn't win the nomination… he will run as an independent and split them apart.
It wouldn't surprise me if republicans only get 42-44% of the popular vote in 2016… that's my projection. They've totally lost huge portions of this country with their inflammatory bigotry and rhetoric.
Look at some posters on here… they echo republican bigotry and rhetoric because they have this delusional idea that republicans are better for the economy.
I'm right here. I disappear when Mormonism is brought up? Mormonism has never been brought up to me before. What do you want to know? Neither my "hot, Latino male lover" or myself are Mormons.
I disappear when separation of church comes up? Not true. I have discussed this in lengthy detail in the past. (P.S. It's not in the U.S. Constitution.)
You may have honed your b.s.-o-meter, but you have some work to do as none of your "honing" is accurate.
@Cam:
There is no Republican candidate running who will promise more to the LGBT community than the Democratic candidates. I think we have seen that ad nauseum.
From exit polling, we know that from the last 3 presidential elections gays and lesbians have voted for the Republican candidate between 23%-27%.
Do you really think 23%-27% of the gay and lesbian population who vote, voted Republican because of what Republicans were going to do for the gay community?
(Hint: it's not always about you)
@1EqualityUSA: The troll in question disappears whenever facts are brought up and it gets cornered.
Again, it goes back to the egotistical ways of the right wing. The right wing hates facts and evidence. Facts and evidence go up against everything they "believe". It's a sad demented reality.
Here is what I think about gay republicans… they are useless and irrelevant. Since they represent less than 5% of the community and add absolutely nothing to our community, any that vote republican are irrelevant. Name me the last time they ever helped our community. They haven't done diddly squat. Certain exit polling that claims 23% vote republican is inaccurate. Exit polling has been notoriously inaccurate.
Republicans haven't done shit for our community and haven't done shit for this nation (example: the past 20+ years of not doing shit).
Alistair Wiseman, I don't know how you could say this without cringing a little, "There is no Republican candidate running who will promise more to the LGBT community than the Democratic candidates. I think we have seen that ad nauseum."
Just take a gander at the Supreme Court and try to fit your square into that round. You're running around the queerty yard like a chicken with its head cut off. Really. It doesn't fly here! Annoying! You must be paid to do this.
I suppose you will not take your leave until after 2016, when the GOP loses again. Rebiblican trolls are like those slimy by-the-wind-sailors that wash up on the beach. My dogs eat them and have the worst gas. Annoying! 2016 can't come soon enough. We don't buy what your are selling. What a load!
Oh sweetie, how adorable, you're still trying to use the old failed line about voting republican whether or not they "Give us something".
It's so funny when you try to use that old Mitt Romneyesq line that people vote because they are given things.
But what you are so desperately trying to hide I'd that LGBT'S don't vote republican because the GOP has attacks against the community and Civil Rights written into their platform.
People vote Dem becausee the GOP states quite clearly that they hate us and want us, or at least out rights gone and burried.
Gays like you that vote GOP aren't some altruistic bunch putting others needs first, you are simply another example of how a lifetime of hearing anti-gay bigotry can give some of you a really scorching case of battered spouse syndrome.
You keep on going back to the GOP, it's ok, maybe this time will be different for you, and if not, I guess its ok, after all, at least they always give you flowers after they give you a black eye.
@1EqualityUSA: Very few buy the snake oil. Republicans offer this nation absolutely nothing and anyone who votes and supports them are grossly misinformed.
I vote democrat because they are simply better for this nation overall. The last republican President drove this nation nearly into an economic depression.
Giancarlo, I don't know how solid this is, but a computer predicted a GOP win in 2016. These "feel the bern'ers" may have a Republican lining the bench with more of their Catholic gems. Ice in me veins, baby. Cortisol surge. I hope the DNC can get past all of the Citizens United dollars and get people to rise up against it.

I forgot your "85"
The gay community had better get it together:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2015/10/25/supreme-court-president-age-80-election/74003698/
@1EqualityUSA: That computer model is nonsense though and is full of flaws. Republicans don't have enough supporters.
November 1, 2015 at 3:11pm
I hope so, Giancarlo85. Ohio and Virginia could sure do a number on the electoral college tally. Gerry Mander for Prez… Nate Silver's been quiet these days. During the Romney fiasco, I was hitting up Nate often, just to quell me heebie-jeebies.
RNC is being outspent by Citizens United dollars, hence the dramatic break-up between 2016 candida and the RNC. The Republicans will try to pull off the appealing rebel yells, but it smacks of desperation. Anything to get by.
November 2, 2015 at 11:11am
candidates, pardon me.
I think the most effective way to debate is to do a round table talk show like setting, sustained and weekly, not silly like that man that speaks so loudly, but rather a dignified PBS like round-table discussion, for all parties.
