Arnie Skirts Gay Marriage In Log Cabin Speech

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger got mixed reviews for a speech Thursday night aimed at shoring up support among gay Republicans.

Schwarzenegger alienated a large segment of the gay community that helped put him in office when he vetoed a same-sex marriage bill that had passed the legislature and more recently said a measure to mandate the teaching of gay history along with other minority groups would meet the same fate.

But his keynote speech at a fundraising dinner for Log Cabin Republicans - his first speech to a gay organization since becoming governor - was long on snappy phrases and short on details.

"In politics, I believe we need to address problems rather than attacking people," Schwarzenegger told the sellout crowd at the Renaissance Hotel.

"sellout crowd"-that's true in so many ways

:rofl:

Isn't that like being a Black Klansman?

I haven't read so much blatant pandering and empty rhetoric since, well, since the last time I saw or read the speech made by <insert random Repuke name here>. John McCain, Dick Cheney, and * all immediately come to mind.

And the Log Cabin Republicans. <sigh> I am just unable to understand how they can continue to support Ahnuld after his mediocre voting record on GLBT issues. Or how they can continue to support ANY Repuke is just beyond me. Traitors to their own cause.

:puke:

They kiss-up to the Repukes for "business purposes" and networking, and to lower taxes for the wealthy. And it works for them, because the Democrats are busy spending all their money to protect their human and civil rights.

They reap the benefit of being shoulder-to-shoulder with the corrupt Power Elite, while the Democrats do all the heavy lifting required to keep them out of re-education camps.
