Ok, gag me. Make sure you read this article with a bucket next to you, just in case.
Some highlights:
1. Two points for Log Cabin:
“I asked Patrick Guerriero [executive director of the Log Cabin Republicans] to come and speak, but of course he declined because this was a party for the president,” Cortinez said, clad in a white Bush-Cheney polo shirt.2. Are you insane?
“In his heart, I know the president doesn’t support [the amendment]. He knew that every single vote would count, so he had to do something to appeal to the base."3. You've got to be kidding me
“I am a delegate who is fighting for the Republican Party and to make sure it is inclusive. It’s hard for me, but I can achieve that by working with the party’s choice,” [Carl] Schmid said. “Last week, he finally mentioned the word ‘gay,’ which is something I requested of his advisers. He does listen.”
Bush’s mention of the “G-word” did not come in a speech or other scripted remarks, however. It was an off-the-cuff remark at a campaign event in Pennsylvania, where he let those in attendance know that he had just been asked about “gay marriage.” He went on to express support for the Federal Marriage Amendment....
“He’s not a bigot, otherwise I wouldn’t be sticking by him. I feel like I really know him,” Cortinez said before pausing to list his positive qualities. “Sometimes you just have to do something to appeal to the political base.”
