A senior adviser to Mitt Romney on Monday assured a group of LGBT conservatives that the Republican presidential nominee would be successful at winning the White House in November.
Speaking at GOProuds Unity event, Bay Buchanan avoided any mention of LGBT issues but warned the audience that some of Romneys decisions are going to offend you.
I wanted to let you know how much the governor appreciates all the work you have done for him and your support of his efforts, Buchanan said. And to let you know that we are going to win this. We are going to win this.
She pointed to last weeks debate performance against President Barack Obama as evidence that Romney could make a strong case for turning the country around.

(24,426 posts)They already know that their party is offensive to LGBT persons and, surprisingly, Log Cabin Republicans have demonstrated that they don't care about their basic human rights as long as they get more tax cuts. If it were the other way around, they wouldn't vote Republican.

(1,828 posts)Honest to God, I will never understand Republican LGBTs. How you can vote for a party that tells you with every breath they take that you're a sinner, an abomination, that you're evil to love who you love ... I just cry for them. The self-loathing they must feel to choose economics over dignity and respect ... It just breaks my heart.

"I wanted to let you know how much Starkist appreciates all the effort you have made for the company and your willingness to swim into our nets to be killed, eviscerated, and processed into tasty snacks for our buying public", Fishhook said. "And to let you know that not one damn thing about that will change - except, possibly, that we will be catching even more of you this year!"
