at one of my events in S.C. You know the one, Donnie McClurkin, who vows "to battle the curse of homosexuality"? Who said "I'm not in the mood to play with those who are trying to kill our children." That's the guy.

I'll tell everyone that he is there to just sing, but I'll make sure he has a chance to preach, I mean speak, to the audience and have him tell those attending my gospel event things like "God DELIVERED me from homosexuality. Don’t call me a bigot or anti-gay when I have SUFFERED the same feelings." Ok, now I know some people will be upset, so I'll just say beforehand that I don't really agree with his views on this, but I will not, under any pressure, remove him from the event. I need the votes of those folks in S.C. that agree with him about the whole curse and sin thing, you know?

Then, later, if it comes up in other states, say New Hampshire, I'll find some of my gay and gay-friendly friends who I can convince that this was all just a misunderstanding, to come speak out on my behalf. There. That should work. Makes me look like I can support both sides of the gay thing. I want to bring people together, you know? If a few people get shit on to make that happen, at least its the group that is most likely not to turn Republican in the election. They'll have to come around, right?

What? This is the kind of talk that helps make gay and lesbian young people have the highest rates of suicide in the entire population? Well, that's not my fault, right? I don't really agree with him, remember? Come on now, lets talk about hope and faith and of our future together, with me as Mr. President, of course.
