		<description>&lt;i&gt;1. That the war on Iraq was necessary, justified, and noble?&lt;/i&gt;

Only if you consider stopping a brutal madman who was systematically starving, imprisoning, torturing, and murdering millions of people while doing his darndest to keep and build weapons to facilitate his doing it to more to be all of those.

Then again, what am I saying? I&#039;m talking to liberals who cover up said dictator imprisoning and torturing the infant and toddler children of political dissidents and call it &quot;dealing peace&quot;.

&lt;i&gt;2. That it’s better for gay people to support a political party that wants to subjugate gay people via a Constitutional Amendment? And the twin idea that it’s good for gay people to always slam the one party that has brought them every single gain they have ever made?&lt;/i&gt;

As opposed to supporting a political party that also wants to subjugate gay people via constitutional amendments and who supports a candidate who wants to remove equality in the one state where gays currently have it? You and yours deem that &lt;a href=&quot;http://northdallasthirty.blogspot.com/2005/05/irony-is-dish-best-served-steaming-hot.html&quot;&gt; &quot;pro-gay&quot; and &quot;gay-supportive&quot;&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;i&gt;3. Your idea that we needed the Terri’s Law charade foisted upon us by your party and president?&lt;/i&gt;

Just because you think death should be the default for the innocent and those unable to protect themselves doesn&#039;t mean the rest of us can&#039;t disagree.

&lt;i&gt;4. Your idea that Social Security would be better off privatized?&lt;/i&gt;

Of course it would be. Look at Democrats like Corzine and Kerry who are billionaires because of their private investments.

&lt;i&gt;5. Your idea that tax cuts for the wealthy make sense, given that we’re now saddled with 2 Trillion more in debt than when your ideas were first put into action? And your related idea that paying 15-20% in debt service is smart and not a drain on national resources? (See, some of us are actually a little more true-blue conservative than you are.)&lt;/i&gt;

It makes more sense than cutting taxes and increasing Federal entitlements by trillions of dollars, which was John Kerry&#039;s entire economic platform.

&lt;i&gt;6. Your idea that it’s OK for one party to prevent a vote on a SC nominee but not OK for the other party to do the same? Or your idea that it’s OK for a president to put justify a SC nomination on the basis of the nominee’s religion?&lt;/i&gt;

Nothing wrong with the majority party doing it; the problem comes when a moonbat minority attempts to use the rules in a way in which they were never intended.

Meanwhile, discrimination based on religion or religious affiliation is against the law in this country. Funny how liberals like yourself argue in favor of it constantly, saying that a person is unqualified because of their religion.</description>

I treat Gay Republicans like rarefied and endangered species you are.
Hated by a majority of your party and reviled by your own kind.
It is a tough existance.
The reason I stay amused here is because, wether or not I truly understand all y&#039;all, I do honestly pity you.</description>

		<description>Chandler, usually we don&#039;t bother deleting your comments simply because they prove our point that more often than not you&#039;re not here to argue with us, but to call us names.

Given how much time you spend on this blog, it&#039;s amazing how little you understand of gay Republicans, indeed, how little you understand of the GOP.</description>

		<description>GayPatriotWest, we&#039;re only having a little fun.  You want the site to be fun, don&#039;t you?

Now, sugar, I know you also want the site to be serious, so let&#039;s take a break from the merrymaking and be serious and start addressing the &quot;ideas&quot; you feel we don&#039;t give enough attention to.  Where do we start?  Want to start with your idea...

1.  That the war on Iraq was necessary, justified, and noble?

2.  That it&#039;s better for gay people to support a political party that wants to subjugate gay people via a Constitutional Amendment?  And the twin idea that it&#039;s good for gay people to always slam the one party that has brought them every single gain they have ever made?

3.  Your idea that we needed the Terri&#039;s Law charade foisted upon us by your party and president?

4.  Your idea that Social Security would be better off privatized?

5.  Your idea that tax cuts for the wealthy make sense, given that we&#039;re now saddled with 2 Trillion more in debt than when your ideas were first put into action?  And your related idea that paying 15-20% in debt service is smart and not a drain on national resources?  (See, some of us are actually a little more true-blue conservative than you are.)

6.  Your idea that it&#039;s OK for one party to prevent a vote on a SC nominee but not OK for the other party to do the same?  Or your idea that it&#039;s OK for a president to put justify a SC nomination on the basis of the nominee&#039;s religion?

We could on and on about your ideas.  Where do you want to start?

Love, Pussy.</description>

		<description>GapriotW,

How about addressing this comment I just laughed out loud from SNL:

It seems the Republican party has reversed it&#039;s opinion and participated in a second term abortion.
(Then they flashed a picture of Harriet)

I had tears running down my cheeks.
I never thought SNL could be funny again.

Oh, I forgot the repeated slogans:

You are a hated minority in your own party and you vilify your own kind.

I return you to business as usual. :)</description>

		<description>No, Chandler, NorthDallasThirty is &quot;Uncle Tom&quot; (in the gay context).  Black conservatives are called &quot;The Two Percenters&quot;, for that&#039;s the level of support Bush gets among African-Americans in the latest polls.

I believe that gay conservatives are called Aunt Kennys, and while I like the historical and prosaic &quot;House Nigger&quot; I believe that Uncle Tom is appropriate. I wish that the term could be updated to Auntie Luther, though.</description>

		<description>Unless, of course, you&#039;re calling gay conservatives &quot;Uncle Toms&quot;, and I presume, calling black conservatives &quot;house niggers&quot;.

As soon as you start whining as much about THAT namecalling, Kevin, then we might believe what you&#039;re saying.</description>

		<description>VtheK and thatgayconservative:

Why do you stoop to name calling?  name calling is the childish, angry response un-educated people use when they&#039;re unable to make a intelligent comment.  I picture you balling up your fists and seeing your eyebrows furrow really hard as you try to come up with a response.

Pardon me for not using the exact, perfect information in my statement about Clinton&#039;s judicial nominees...check out #35 for the specific ways that Republicans stopped judicial nominees from even reaching floor.</description>

		<description>Back to the point I was trying to make. Why is a filibuster so much more reprehensible then denying votes or hearings? How is it not the same thing (in the larger spectrum)?

Either way is still about the opposing party using every &quot;TRICK&quot; in thier bag to block a sitting presidents judicial nominee that they have strong philisophical differences with.

I say to BOTH parties --- THE PRESIDENT won the election, it&#039;s his CHOICE. Give them a up or down vote. (By President, I mean generic Repub or Dem)</description>

		<description>#39 --- I apologize then, but, please, in the future, please don&#039;t point to something that wasn&#039;t a filibuster as though it&#039;s the same thing as a filibuster. If you disagree with the tactics used, that&#039;s fine, but it&#039;s a separate issue. It doesn&#039;t justify the filibuster accusation and I don&#039;t like the two parties playing tit-for-tat any more than anyone else does.

You can understand why I was confused. It&#039;s easy to mistake someone for a leftist when they distort historical reality to justify an inaccurate talking point.</description>

		<description>#35 --- Mark, none of those are filibusters. And none of it began with Republicans. Democrats blockaded many of Bush 41&#039;s appointments the same way. And don&#039;t forget who invented &#039;borking.&#039;  But, we understand how difficult it is for you lefties to admit it when you&#039;re caught in a lie.

Good news though. After four years of blockading by democrats (especially Senator Lenin and Dingbat Debby Stabenow), our family friend was approved to the Sixth Circuit 97-0 yesterday.</description>

		<description>#32       Saying the Repub&#039;s never filibustered is splitting hairs.

&quot;All this changed in 1996. Rather than openly challenge President Clinton&#039;s nominees on the floor, Republicans decided to deny them Senate Judiciary Committee hearings. Between 1996 and 2000, 20 of Bill Clinton&#039;s appeals-court nominees were denied hearings, including Elena Kagan, now dean of the Harvard Law School, and many other women and minorities. In 1999, Judiciary Chairman Orrin Hatch refused to hold hearings for almost six months on any of 16 circuit-court and 31 district-court nominations Clinton had sent up. Three appeals-court nominees who did manage to obtain a hearing in Clinton&#039;s second term were denied a committee vote, including Allen R. Snyder, a distinguished Washington lawyer, Clinton White House aide, and former Rehnquist law clerk, who drew lavish praise at his hearing -- but never got a committee vote. Some 45 district-court nominees were also denied hearings, and two more were afforded hearings but not a committee vote. &quot;</description>

		<description>Glad to have HMiers off the SCOTUS circuit.  Even for the GayLeft, that&#039;s gotta be good news &#039;cause of all those in that dwindling camp thought she was a wrong choice, thought it was cronyism, and generally slammed the nomination.  Gheez, imagine now, how the GayLeft thinks it&#039;s a mistake on GWB to have her name withdrawn?  The Potomac two-step from the GayLeft.  Gotta love that GayLeft camp, they are consistent.

And VdaK... on the GOP filli-buster of Clinton era nominees... Michigan&#039;s own brave war hawk liberal, Sen YosemiteSam Levin, said that his sister-in-law nominee was indeed sort of, kind of, almost filli-busted by the SenGOP in the waning moments of the Clinton era.  OK, no vote.  OK, no motion.  OK, no blue slip.  OK, no plan to.  BUT IT STILL COUNTS. &quot; Just because it wasn&#039;t reality doesn&#039;t make it so&quot; --Sen Ted Kennedy.</description>

		<description>And before anyone brings up the Paez myth, there was no filibuster. Only 14 Republicans voted against cloture, and there was only one cloture vote.

This is a touchy subject for me. One of the blockaded Bush judges is a close family friend and a wonderful lady.</description>
