Together they could achieve more nothing than any other administration in history. I believe there should be a Palin / Withers ticket for the republican party!

Foolish child; why would anyone want to garner sympathy for someone that you claim, with such vitriol, is not hated? Gerry Fisher Said:

Somebody got his far-right talking point today! Just because you say "why do [insert group on the Left] hate Sarah Palin so much?" doesn't mean that we actually hate her. I know, I know, that won't stop you. You're going to repeat the Ditto Head line as often as possible in order to try to create a political reality and to garner sympathy for Palin. Yawn. >Someone will have to explain to me why queers HATE Palin so much that shes still revenant news material.

Somebody got his far-right talking point today! Just because you say “why do [insert group on the Left] hate Sarah Palin so much?” doesn’t mean that we actually hate her.

I know, I know, that won’t stop you. You’re going to repeat the Ditto Head line as often as possible in order to try to create a political reality and to garner sympathy for Palin.

Yawn.

Neither have I.

Why is it every time a gay person makes the news some fo the first words is often "Openly Gay". This is not necessary. Another random thought.

Someone will have to explain to me why queers HATE Palin so much that shes still revenant news material. I get that shes not queer friendly, I just dont get why anyone cares. I'm an apostate democrat, & I sense the libs are scared shitless that she could emerge as real competition. Again, I dont know why queers care; look at what we got now: speeches. I dont care how homophobic a prez is, there really isnt much s/he can do about it. More advances were made under Bush 43 than Bubba Clinton. I get Palin. I really do not get why queers seem to hate her so. I mean seething, roiling hatred. Maybe the dem's plan is that they dont need to keep us on the crack-pipe of slow, incremental rights to enforce loyalty, they just need to brainwash everyone that the competition is evil. She's aggressive, sharp but not visibly erudite, and a dichotomous medley of brash crudity yet steeped in bourgeois tradition. In other words, a typical American. The more bizarre her ideas, the harder they would be to pass, so whats everyone so in huff about?

Does it mean anything that I’ve never been to Fire Island, NY? 8. Never been perceived as a good minority (by gays or blacks). Plan on keeping it that way. Why does 365Gay waste time, space and resources on this non-sensible babble? Do they think this type of "writing" is of any interest to most of us who read 365Gay for the gay related news stories?
