The Obama administration knows that no gay person or civil libertarian in his/her right mind would vote Republican, so they can continue to push us under as many busses as they please, with the hope of extending their power base somewhat into the religious right.<br />This sucking up to the radical right is not limited to gay issues. They're hogtying anti recession economic initiatives and blunting universal health care initiatives as well. Just to get a few Republican votes, which they don't need anyway. <br />What the administration doesn't recognize is that if they keep this up, the left will split, and the Republicans will take over again. After all, how can a gay person or any person who believes in social justice continue to support a party that is now working to deny us our rights?Brucehttp://not-so-different.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-58655794744540112542009-06-15T19:51:56.276-04:002009-06-15T19:51:56.276-04:00WhiteDwarfStar, it's Gay Liberation Network be...WhiteDwarfStar, it's Gay Liberation Network because we identify with the Gay Liberation Front of the 1970s in its solidarity outreach to women, African Americans and the antiwar movement. GLN attempts to carry out that same solidarity with other struggles, believing that we cannot expect support if we don't give it.

There's an expression: "Don't expect much, and you'll never be disappointed." I didn't expect much from Obama, but I am very disappointed.CrackerLilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176388186521154104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-89174374415231792682009-06-13T19:26:11.870-04:002009-06-13T19:26:11.870-04:00Don't forget immigration rights for same sex c...Don't forget immigration rights for same sex couples!Trinity Dejavuhttp://trinity.fooroo.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-25776496857527639762009-06-13T18:19:39.009-04:002009-06-13T18:19:39.009-04:00Obama through us under the bus but we never agreed...Obama through us under the bus but we never agreed to be mechanics!!!!Mewihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07372597671450218716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-4692697096569658172009-06-13T16:09:22.892-04:002009-06-13T16:09:22.892-04:00Seriously though... we really should start a new c...Seriously though... we really should start a new country.
