I say to heck with BOTH the GOP and the DNC!

We either need our own party or join the Libertarian Party and increase it’s political clout!

“If Obama doesn’t come through and if a Republican is at least as supportive (or non-hostile) as McCain in 2010…”

Unless everyone on this blog is discussing the Congressional elections, I would like to point out the next Presidential election takes place in 2012.

Here me now. The Dems have through the next 12 months or I will return to the “dark side” and start voting my pocketbook again – spell that GOP. If it’s all the same, if the Dems aren’t any more likely to appropriately respect me and my community… what, exactly, is the point?

If they keep making mistakes like this, they risk losing the support of the GLBT community forever,…

John McCain earned 27% of gay voters simply by not making gay issues a part of his campaign while Obama promised the world.

If Obama doesn’t come through and if a Republican is at least as supportive (or non-hostile) as McCain in 2010, I think that this number will be quite a bit larger. Or alternately the 3% of “other” may grow significantly.

Yeah, we’re only 4% of voters. But here are also some other voter constituencies that won’t be ignored in 2010:

Ever in military – 15%
African Americans – 13%
Union members – 12%
Latinos – 9%
Jews – 2%
Asians – 2%

No one has forgotten that a handful of Floridians in 2000 decided an election. Do you think that 4% didn’t matter then?
