McCain meets secretly with gay Republican group

Why do these people hate themselves so much that they are Republicans?

John McCain met recently with Patrick Sammon, the president of the Log Cabin Republicans -- a group for gay Republicans. But to look at his public schedule, you'd never know it.

The meeting was first reported by Bruce Carroll, a Republican who runs the blog GayPatriot. Sammon confirmed it in an e-mail to Carroll, saying, "We've had a series of productive meetings with the campaign since Sen. McCain won the nomination -- including a recent meeting with the Senator. We expect to have more conversations with the campaign as we head toward November."

Carroll says he has a source who told him that "McCain has routine personal meetings that are not shown on public schedule." That's not surprising. But it is interesting to note, as Politico's Ben Smith did, which meetings McCain publicizes and which he keeps quiet.

One other recent example is a meeting McCain held with Republican Latino leaders in Chicago last week, which was closed to the media. In both cases, McCain needs to tread carefully to avoid angering his base, which sees him as not conservative enough in some ways, including on immigration and social issues, but at the same time he needs to project a moderate image to appeal to independents. By keeping these particular meetings quiet, McCain makes it less likely that he'll run into trouble with conservatives or be exposed as someone who changes his positions on issues with the wind.

I don't get it. Women and Gays that vote republican that is.

Sad, really...

I can think of few things sadder than a GLBT Republican.:cry: I can't even begin to imagine the depths of self-loathing necessary to be one.:think:

Just saying...

"Welcome to the Republican Party. Please leave your humanity at the door."

If they don't mind the "moral overtures" that Republicans claim to have during the election campaigns that they usually don't do jack about then they use the pocketbook appeal.

Then again maybe they're geniuses who want to use the military ban on gays just in case there is a draft...they'd be exempt after all.

some people value their tax credits more than their dignity

Fortunately, I've met many more wealthy gays who are NOT greedy and NOT republican.

There will always be self-centered people in the world who have no regard for others.

and all sort of gays.

this is just a greed issue

with any gay rights group at all
:shrug:

than gay uncle toms.

Did they meet in the dead of night or something?

Jesus. Barack Obama isn't perfect, but I hardly think he'll feel the need to "secretly" meet with GLBT Democrats. That little episode with McCain tells you all you need to know about GLBT people and the Republican Party.

;)

There is no level of self-disrespect that they will not plumb.
