In my Gays Can Be Morons Too post, I asked how gays could possibly believe they were helping their cause by having voted Republican in the midterm elections. And how, I ask, does one’s own civil rights not take precedence over economic concerns?
Radio host Michaelangelo Signorele does battle with these very questions.
.

As Signorele asks, is there any difference between a gay person voting Republican and a person of the Jewish faith voting for an anti-Semite? If there is, I can’t see it.
That was incredible. Especially the last caller who voted with his check book.. He sounds like every other uptight Republican white male I have ever met. Unbelievable. He puts his money above his civil rights.. Wow!
Rand Paul should never have won Kentucky after that thug-heavy video surfaced of a young woman having her head smashed into the curb. What’s up with these people?
This klutz votes republican because DADT didn’t materialize immediately?
Give me a break!
I want to know why we have to defend our humanity against money in the first place?
What country is this where you are called a socialist for trying to defend social programs? I’m sorry we all can’t be entrepreneurs, some people need help and it will always be this way to a degree. Have a little humanity.
To “knowingly” vote against your own civil rights is truly hard to understand. If you’re fooled then ok but knowingly? I just don’t know what to think of that. This notion of voting Republican to send Dems a message I guess Republicans would say send more messages. Amazing. We are a nation in big trouble if that’s our logic.
True conservatism is about limiting fiscal policy, not limiting liberty. Same as true republicanism is classical liberalism. We support your freedom to do just about anything that doesn’t infringe upon my rights.
We do not support the notion that the government has to “make things fair” through taxation and wealth redistribution.
Gay people are just as concerned as heterosexual people about the dire fiscal situation our Federal government has created for itself.
Once again, you prove time in and time out it is liberal politics that require ISMs and hate to succeed.
@Mario, Why do you have so much hate?
@Rodiogal that video was meant to mislead people, that woman assaulted Rand Paul’s car before she was dragged to the ground, I guess you didn’t make the effort to watch that one did you? It probably never showed up on HuffPo.
Give me a break! That woman assaulted Rand Paul’s car! I watched the full video and the petite 23 year old was man-handled by three thugs three to four times her size. They had no right to do any of this. Why they aren’t all in jail is beyond me.
One other point.
Shame on the State of Kentucky for voting this Paul goof-ball in after that film surfaced. You will get what you all deserve. I just hope that the rest of us don’t get pulled into the lunacy of a Rand Paul influenced Senate.
@Rodiogal when you run up to a politician’s vehicle in the middle of a large crowd and start reaching into the window of said vehicle, being seized by security/the crowd shouldn’t be unexpected.
While taking into account that she merely had a sign it would seem like an over reaction but she just as easily could have had any type of weapon concealed on her, or concealed under the paper she started shoving into the car window.

@Chris,
