LGBT voters who think for themselves can’t be fooled into voting Republican. ]]> By: davidrdavid http://floridaagenda.com/2012/10/03/obama-failures-will-lead-to-more-gays-voting-republican/comment-page-1/#comment-24121 davidrdavid Sun, 04 Nov 2012 15:44:14 +0000 http://floridaagenda.com/?p=16609#comment-24121 Only the delusional could defend a spineless manipulated dishonest clown like Romney who signed the anti-Gay marriage pledge from the abhorrent N O M and then choose a dangerous anti-human V P running mate who is doing a disappearing act during this election cycle. Romney’s economic and defense policies are like that we see of the FL D O T, putting in decorative lighting , pretty bricks and festive landscaping while the street repairs are ignored. What Is he defending? ]]> By: Ron Mills http://floridaagenda.com/2012/10/03/obama-failures-will-lead-to-more-gays-voting-republican/comment-page-1/#comment-23570 Ron Mills Wed, 17 Oct 2012 13:23:08 +0000 http://floridaagenda.com/?p=16609#comment-23570 1. That was not ambassador Stevens photo, the ambassador was taken to hospital and was pronounced dead at the hospital and was released to American Security
2. Ambassador Stevens was not OUT to the public so LCR Broward outed him

3. The National Log Cabins have condemned this AD http://www.blogcabin.net/?p=2868

No not for running this article by this clueless woman — but because you Florida Agenda took money from her organization and ran a huge ad that reads above and below are photo of the half naked CORPSE of Chris Stevens Ambassador to Libya — If Obama is not going to protect Gay/Gay Friendly Americans fro the terror or Islamist radicalism what makes you think they will protect us from Sharia Law ANYWHERE? (obviously implying the threat of Sharia Law in America)

Ms. Steen’s ad goes on to proclaim her support of Israel === and proclaiming Support Israel In Hour of Darkness. Vote Republican.

——————————

Florida Agenda made an editorial decision to take money to print a photo of a corpse – and tie that to fear mongering to elect candidates from a Party whose PLATFORM in specific pledges to restrict and REDUCE civil rights for Gay Americans.

Sickening all around …. I will pass up picking your newspaper from here on out — your advertisers have lost a set of eyes and wallet that spends in the community.

SHAME on you Florida Agenda for this awful choice.

Shame on Ms. Steen for running such a vile ad.
But Gay Republicans have little shame or thought except for Zionism and reduced taxes. For the most party they are less laughable for GOProud – but Ms. Steen’s Broward Chapter — and Florida Agenda’s shameful editorial choice have left another black eye on South Florida around the nation, for your publication and for Log Cabin.

I’ve practically given up on reading much of the gay press, as it has become mostly an official mouthpiece for the Democrat Party. Yet I personally know many gays, myself and my partner included, who have been voting Republican for many years now.

Why? The answers are many. In addition to the economic issues addressed in Ms. Steen’s letter, I would add foreign policy concerns. From the very beginning of this administration and its siding with the Hugo Chavez-aligned Zelaya in Honduras – I knew we were in trouble. The Honduran people have long been genuinely friendly to the USA and supported our world view of democracy and liberty and individual rights. They must’ve been flabbergasted at our support of a dictator wannabe in Zelaya!

Now, many years later, we see even more fruits of their imbecililty in the Arab world. Not only did this President see fit to bow down to Islamist Saudi royalty, but he threw a perfectly good secular Egyptian President – Hasni Mubarak – under the bus. What did we get instead? THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD! God help us all. Don’t forget this is also the same President that also somehow refused to assist the Green Revolution in Iran. Remember Neda dying in the street in her father’s arms? Thank you President Obama!

And yet he claims to command the respect of the world! What a narcissist this man is! He couldn’t even be bothered to prepare for a debate! But really – shouldn’t a President be automatically preared for a debate? Or is he absent on the job? I vote for the latter and I say you all should vote him out of office on November 6th!

Her perception of a growing Gay Republican presense is validated by numerous exit polls revealing that 25-40% of Gays vote Republican almost consistently, especially during the Nixon, Reagan and Bush 41 Presidencies, and during the Gingrich Revolution that created GOP majorites in the US Senate, House and Governorships.

I do suspect that when the author refers to nearly half of the Gay vote going Republican in 2010, she meant to say the “South Florida Gay vote”. According to several post-election studies done by liberal and Gay news services who commissioned a study, South Florida Gays led the nation in “Gay votes” for the Tea Party-GOP by a margin of 48-47%; however. the national 2010 Gay vote was only 35 percent to the Republicans.

Nonetheless, those numbers do reveal that a considerabe amount of discerning voting Gay people do provide over a million votes for the GOP.

In a polarized 50-50 American electorate, one million+ Gay votes can be decisive.
