Indeed! Wow, what an interesting "compromise." And I'm chuckling at the assertion by some here that Robinson's selection didn't present a "political problem" when a few of us maintained it did. Guess the Obama people saw it our way. Heh.
Kinda makes you wonder why Jeremiah Wright wasn't invited to give an invocation of some sort.

Which makes Rev. Robinson's omission all the more baffling. Neither one of you, or your kind, are likely to ever vote for Obama in the future no matter what he does. So why the kissing of right wing butt?

Right Wing butt?
Newsflash for you: Not everyone who is to the right of you is a Right Wing. That'd be like saying that any number over 1 is HUGE.

And how on Earth do you know for whom I may or may not vote, especially in the future? My "kind" -- whatever does THAT mean? I could make some sweeping generalizations about you but have refrained. I suggest you do the same.

No generalizations are necessary in your case...You've been running down Obama all during the election season. What am I supposed to think, you're a liberal?
Here's Rev. Robinson's invocation from yesterday, taken by a camcorder. It just baffles me as to why Obama and/or his transition team seems to feel it's necessary to give the impression of disrespecting the LGBT community.
We dont know yet that the Obama team is responsible for it, though. Although why HBO would make this sort of editing decision I dont know.
Is Gene Robinson the only speaker who wasnt included, and the Gay Men's Chorus the only group not labeled on the screen? I dont see mention of this happening to anyone else.

You know what's funny? I have both DNC and RNC membership cards because I've contributed to both parties' candidates. I didn't request them, they just sent them to me so I keep 'em as souvenirs. Again, the Dems can't wrap their minds around this sort of thing.

Of course I'm not a liberal. Never said I was. But it's too bad you can't think outside of extremes. Most people aren't in the extremist camps and float about the middle.

You've got to forgive them -- Party tools can't quite grasp the concept of being an Independent voter.
