[Yellowdogtexan]

First it was a secret meeting with Hispanics and now mc :cane is holding secret meetings with the Log Cabin Republicans http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/06/25/mccain-in-the-closet-secr_n_109279.htmlThe head of the Log Cabin Republicans, the gay Republican group, has confirmed to the GayPatriot that he held a private, and secret, meeting with John McCain:GayPatriot has exclusively learned that presumptive Republican Presidential nominee Senator John McCain held a personal meeting with the head of the national gay Republicans organization, the Log Cabin Republicans. Log Cabin President Patrick Sammon confirmed his meeting with Senator McCain earlier todayThese secret meetings are amusing. mc :cane is really bad at this and do we want to trust our national secrets to a man who can not pull off even a simple pandering meeting?

Little bit like JEff Gannon, huh?

No, wait...nothing like that at all, really. There's no indication McCain is sleeping with these guys....course, then, there is that closed door secret meeting thingy....

HHHmmmmm...I don't know about this nation with a guy who can't pull off simple pandering...but a guy who doesn't know much about the economy is no one I'm interested in...

What I don't understand is why the gay Republicans even exist. I have seen the gay Republicans leader on the Bill Maher show he seems like a sensible enough man. But he must be a closet psycho because there is no doubt about it the Republicans have shit on the gays

Here is more on this meeting http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/06/26/mccain-reaches-out-to-gay-republican-group/An official from the Log Cabin Republicans organization says the group representing gay Republicans has had a series of meetings with presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain.

The meetings, however, were not disclosed to the press by the McCain campaign. An e-mail from CNN to the McCain campaign for comment was not immediately returned.

A McCain aide told The Politico's Ben Smith that a meeting between McCain and the organization "a few weeks ago" was "scheduled as a meeting with the senator … Like Sen. Obama, every single campaign-related meeting he has isn't alerted to the press."

In a statement Thursday, Log Cab Republicans President Patrick Sammon confirmed to CNN that the group had a "series of productive meetings with the campaign since Sen. McCain won the nomination—including a recent meeting with the Senator. We expect to have more conversations with the campaign as we head toward November."

How does that look for gays for McCain to be "in the closet" about his meetings with gays?

Looks like another Bushie thingy to me...and that's a good thing for the democrats this November.

This is getting really silly but amusing. http://www.americablog.com/2008/07/mccain-hires-another-senior-gay-staffer.htmlThe Gay-Talk Express strikes again.

John McCain needs to decide who he wants to be. Two weeks ago, McCain met with gay Republican leaders (people his staff had met with repeatedly before). After the religious right flipped out, McCain then met with virulently anti-gay religious right leaders, and promised those leaders that he would be more vocally anti-gay in public in the future. Then one week after that, McCain outfoxed those same religious right leaders by hiring a gay man to one of the most senior positions in his campaign.

Now, I think it's great that John McCain has such an affinity for openly gay men. In fact, McCain has had openly gay senior staff on the Hill and in his campaigns going back to the early 90s, at least. Again, that's great. Although John McCain is still pretty bad on a lot of gay issues, having so many gay men on staff over the years has to have changed his heart, and the hearts of McCain's other staffers. It's tough for McCain and his staff to be too anti-gay when he's got senior gay people permeating his entire outfit, senior people putting a face to the anti-gay policies that people like Burress are demanding that McCain promote. Not to mention, gays leak like sieves. The more gays McCain hires to senior positions, the more those gays are going to leak the details of anything McCain is working on that even smells of being anti-gay. It's a small town, and an even smaller gay community. People talk. And even gay Republicans aren't usually too willing to let people like Phil Burress do much damage.mc :cane can not have it both ways. mc :cane is going to alienate his base if he keeps hiring gays.

Come to the dark side, John :snicker

McCain is in a panic scrambling for votes.

He's got to play to both sides of the fence. That's a losing proposition, because in the long run he'll end up alienating all the groups.

Half a loaf is better than none.
