   Republicans are squeamish cowards who want to be as far away from gays and dems as possible. The party of exclusion.

   Wow, that’s what you think the cartoon means? Really?
   I see two options, neither of which are yours. First: the Republicans are crowded on to…which side? That’s right, the RIGHT. The FAR right.
   Second, Radish’s notion, which implies they are unwilling to act like grownups and work with their colleagues and fellow citizens in the legislature. Just like their big brothers and sisters in Congress…

   @tigger
   
   ok there are 2 gay republicans, 3 black republicans, a spattering of spanish republicans.
   
   keep deluding yourself, it’s good for the country if you take the long view.
   
   a gay republican, these days, probably feels like a christian scientist with appendicitis.
   
   by the way, once you hunt them down, how long before you throw them out of the party for being ‘immoral’?

   and the comic shows a balanced, organized democratic delegation (ok, i’ll admit that’s pretty farfetched), and a disorganized heap of far right republicans.

   Yes, there are some out gay people in the Republican Party. I recall that during the Bush Administration, some of the Republicans wanted to kick the gays out of their party.
   
   Or were you referring to the closeted types such as Charlie Crist, Bob Allen, Glenn Murphy, Mike Horner, et cetera?

    Let’s not forget the republican governor, Rick Scott, is a felon who defrauded medicare. Now he provides legal cover for his criminal pals in the medical industry to steal from Florida citizens.

    The only ones deluding themselves is you and anyone else who thinks gays, blacks, or any other minority are exclusively democratic.
    
    There are quite a number of people out there that take the time to read and research the facts, not listen to a party line and accept it as fact.
    
    It’s just to bad so many don’t want to take the time to get to the truth, it’s out there.
    
    Those of you with your preconceived notions are cute at times though, stupid cute, but cute non the less.

    The fact that the Republican party actively works to make life miserable for gays, seniors, veterans, and minorities has made their presence in the party as rare as that of scientists, who also have been made very unwelcome.

    It is true that there are Log Cabin Republicans, which is an organized group of gay Republicans. If you talk to them, I think you’ll find that they have been marginalized. Republicans are more willing to deal with fundamentalist Christians, who mostly are unwilling to accept gays as acceptable. You have to dance with them what brung ya, as the saying goes.

    As an example, Mel White (you may have seen him and his son on “The Great Race”) was in Jerry Falwell’s inner circle, and even ghost-wrote for him. Then he came out of the closet, and Jerry wouldn’t speak to him ever again. Yearly, Mr. White would bring a group of gay Republicans to Liberty University to initiate a conversation, and yearly, Mr. Falwell gave them the choice of leaving or being arrested for trespassing.

    No one thinks that one party has exclusive rights to any one group of people. But just as you don’t see many Democrats who want to pass a constitutional amendment to take rights away from Americans (like many states have done to gay people), you don’t see many Republicans welcoming gay people or people of color.

    Mr. Falwell gave a full scholarship to a woman who, when giving a graduation speech, led the crowd in a prayer. She was interviewed and gave her goal as taking care of social issues, and there were only two of them: gay marriage and abortion. Evidently, there are no more social issues than these two….
