Republican party insiders, movers and shakers received some difficult medicine from Jan van Lohuizen, former pollster for George W. Bush for the 2004 re-election campaign, according to Maggie Haberman of The Politico. One of the few party operatives who sees the handwriting on the wall for the party when it comes to LGBT rights, including marriage equality, van [...]

I expect that the professional anti-LGBTs will not like what head of the Republican National Committee, Reince Priebus, had to say about employment nondiscrimination and the LGBT community Sunday on Meet the Press. Host David Gregory managed to get a pretty clear declaration that Priebus won’t be about to weasel out of once Bryan Fischer [...]

Bwahahahahaha…but when professional homophobe Bryan Fischer throws a tantrum over your gay foreign policy spokesman, it’s man, er, homo overboard. Big #FAIL. (Think Progress): ROMNEY: We select people not based upon their ethnicity or their sexual preference or their gender. But upon their capability. He was a capable individual. We’re sorry to have him go and [...]

Ron Hill is a Republican who blogs extensively about the religious right hijacking of his party at republicans4freedom.net. Every year the leading pseudo-Christian hate groups in this country host the “Values Voters Summit”. This convention is sponsored by many organizations characterized as hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization made famous for its [...]

The latest from Ron Hill of republicans4freedom, blogging there to represent “the rational wing of the Republican party.” Now that Romney is the likely nominee, the question pro-equality conservatives must ask is this: Will Log Cabin Republicans –  the only national grassroots organization of gay and lesbian conservatives – ignore Mitt’s pandering to NOM and the [...]

I received my Brown for Senate Weekly Update e-mail this morning, which is a “weekly campaign wrap-up” intended to “keep you up-to-date with the happenings on the campaign trail”. Today’s e-mail describes campaign-related events from last week. Curiously absent from the list of items the Brown campaign chose to highlight was the senator’s guest opinion [...]

How obnoxious can U.S. Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) be? In a guest opinion published today in Bay Windows, a Massachusetts LGBT newspaper, Brown tells us that I don’t come before you with a checklist of items promising that I will be an advocate for you on each and every one of them. My opponent has [...]

Life is supposed to be simple for Republicans, who don’t like questions about nasty details and complications like 1) people who are born with an illness or condition that is labeled “pre-existing” from a health insurance perspective; 2) can’t get insurance because of those conditions. You are just a problem they’d like to gloss over. [...]

The Louisiana primary was this past weekend, and Little Ricky Santorum picked up another win. Republicans 4 Freedom‘s Ron Hill mused about his options… Saturday is the Louisiana GOP primary. Here in New Orleans, I’m sipping a Mint Julep and pondering which anti-gay big government conservative I shall vote for. Shall I vote for the [...]

As we learned back in 2008, the race-baiting fringe was so overwhelmed by the possibility of having a black man as President that they became completely unglued, showing up at McCain/Palin rallies to hang their bigoted @sshattery out for the whole world to see, gleefully shaking monkey dolls with “Obama” on them, burning crosses and [...]
