Rick Perry, humbled from 2012, is basically Moses you guys.

quote:

“I’m kind of a good example of somebody who got a second chance,” he said. “You look at our Biblical history. We have flawed characters. Moses was incredibly afraid of public speaking, but he led the people to the Promised Land. David was a man after God’s own heart but he failed because of temptation. [Faith eventually led him back to God.] Paul was given that second chance. This is a man who was a professional persecutor of Christians, but on that road to Damascus he was given a second chance.”

“America is a country of second chances,” he added. “I think America is ready for a second chance right now.”

By that logic, he wins the election and then dies, having his VP take over in time for the inauguration.

Rick Perry is a schizophrenic man who will take orders from a bush, lead his followers against the government before escaping into the desert where he will impose rules he claims are divinely inspired and kill off dissenters, proclaiming their deaths are the will of God.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) defended the use of drones on "Fox & Friends" on Monday amid the fallout of a strike in Pakistan that killed two hostages, including an American.


"I do think there is a valuable use for drones," he said. "As much as I'm seen as this opponent of drones, I think in military and in warfare they do have some value."

Unsurprising. Just y'all watch, as soon as sexual orientation becomes a protected civil right we are going to see thousands of rich, white gay men show their true colors and fully embrace conservative politics. They're just as willing stomp on the face of the poor as a rich, white straight guy.

Yeah that's going to be the norm before long. And gay marriage is pretty close to a single-issue matter for a lot of young people who might lean left but don't care enough to vote a lot of the time. If the GOP drops opposition to it there's a big emotional motivator for a lot of voters gone, so let's hope the GOP is stupid or stubborn enough to keep opposition to gay rights as part of their platform for at least the next decade.

This wouldn't surprise me. Huge number of gay republicans prior to Bush Jr.+Marriage Protection Act. There's a documentary about this (aptly titled Gay Republicans) from the early 00s that talks about this large number of gay conservatives trying to reconcile their political beliefs with their political party suddenly taking a hyper-active role in saying they don't have a right to be.

I'm sure there are some but all of the self-described conservative gays (none of whom actually voted GOP) I have met have been strong social liberals would wouldn't vote for the party that calls their trans friends freaks and wants to jail pot smokers. The GOP would have to more fully embrace social liberalism to really get these people on board. Granted these are the millenial urban type of rich gays, I'm sure older or more rural ones would be more willing to go GOP.

The guy who runs the Equality Center (the LGBT community center) here in town is a rich, white, extremely gay Republican man. He used to be a fairly highly-regarded figure in the GOP in the 1980s, until he came out as gay. He says they didn't even officially fire him, everyone in the party just suddenly started giving him the world's biggest cold shoulder - people stopped returning his calls, they stopped talking to him, they completely cut him the gently caress off.

In spite of this, he still votes straight-ticket Republican in every election.

Because the only thing keeping gay males from contributing more heavily to Republicans, is the Republican opposition to gay marriage.
