It's always so comical how lefties try to spin what people say and do, even to the extent of dismissing what the person him/herself says. A couple of days ago, it was Obama speaking metaphorically when he referred to "my sons"--that he considers all children to be his sons and daughters--when he was clearly just reading what was on the teleprompter without really thinking about it. And here we are in this thread reading the spin put on what Richard Grennell had to say about leaving the Romney campaign. It must be especially galling to them that Mr. Grennell says, "Some of the most hateful, mean-spirited intolerant comments about me being the foreign policy and national security spokesman for Governor Romney … were coming from the left." A couple of years ago, Juan Williams, the liberal political news figure said the same thing......that he had been accused by leftists of becoming "too conservative" as he got older and that the most hateful attacks had come from fellow Democrats.

Yep. The lefties don't care about reality - just about preaching how horrible and intolerant conservatives are and how "tolerant" they are (which is quite ironic) or how wonderful Obama is regardless of his record and what a skilled speaker he is, when all he's doing the vast majority of the time is just reading a teleprompter. It's amusing, isn't it?

Those few gay republicans that exist tend to be vehemently republican. They will jab the left whenever they can because they are grasping for a reason to side with the right.

Like you know what in their minds......this has got to be the absolute stupidest bit of self-delusion I have yet seen on this forum.

How many gay republican friends do you have? I have quite a few. I can only attest to my own experiences. One thing is for sure. Republicans are against gay Americans having equal rights. So I can think of no reason why they would vote republican.

Both the far right and far left made a lot of noise about Grenell. I'm sick of the Romney apologists acting like there's no culpability among conservatives for the departure of Grenell.

You got proof to back that up? He didn't get fired the dude quit. And who the hell believes liberals are tolerant? They're some of the most close minded people I've seen.

Yes we want gays to pick cotton, and ride on the back of the bus.

I think that you meant to say, "Style our hair and design our home interiors"?
