Bush is going to really turn off the gay voters with this
 

"All of us ? parents, schools, government ? must work together to counter the negative influence of the culture and to send the right messages to our children," he said.

Going to be in his State of the Union speech tonight referring to the Gay lifestyle.

Wow. Talk about bad politicing.

I think he should say it loud and proud.

:rainfro

not good. i hope bush looses

This is good news - it should deter all gay voters from voting for bush & hopefully get a better candidate in office :thumbsup

Where is Dawgy now? He voted for Bush.

I'm black and i'm proud? :glugglug

Yeah he's really worried about the gay vote. :1orglaugh He already wrapped up the election by damn near giving citizenship to every Mexican illegal in the country so all the hispanics are going to vote for him this time, instead of just 30% or so.

... why is it that blacks always have to point that out? lack of convidence ??

um, no.

I don't think he's exactly alienating his core constituency by doing this or affecting his vote too much.

Good, I can assume you are voting democrat then? :winkwink:

yeah, they were all voting republican until this.:1orglaugh

Bad politics because he is not pandering to a minority? He will win again, not because he is truly representive of working class, etc America, but because he appears to be at least doing something for them.

It is the same with John Howard over here. The media screemed and screemed about his tough stance on assylum seekers, and claimed he would loose votes, but in a matter of a week he gained about 30% more of the vote and won by a landslide.

The Democrats and Labor (our equivelent) can keep claiming they represent the working class, and they can keep pandering to the little leftist idealists, but the truth is Bush and Howard have already got their vote.

He is not talkin about the gay community, he is talking about us...

No, he is talking about the negative influences of gay culture is he not? Most people, in Australia at least, would support him.

This isn't "not pandering to a minority" if he was doing that he wouldn't mention them at all, this is "offending a minority"

Offending is the opposite to appeasing really. Gay 'culture' is a counter-culture pretty much, and I see nothing inaccurate in what he is saying.

hes also spending tax payer money on commercials about the importantance of marriage aimed at lower income americans.

good, i dont see the prob,

just like stupid people who want gay culture to be taught in school.

That Bush is a smart man..Give him some credit. :glugglug
