Atta-boy, Log Cabin does good

Planet Out:

Patrick Guerriero, executive director of the Log Cabin Republicans (news - web sites), addressed the issue to Frist: 'As Senate Majority Leader, you know there are nowhere near the 67 votes needed for passage of the FMA. In fact, there aren't even 60 votes for cloture.'

Cloture is the only procedure by which the Senate can vote to place a time limit on the consideration of a bill and thereby overcome a filibuster.

Guerriero continued: 'The question then becomes, why, at a time when our nation and our party ought to be coming together, would you choose to divide us on a vote you already know will fail? There's a one-word answer to that question -- politics.'
