Reply #51: This is my biggest problem with Obama and why I almost didn't support him. [View All]

It's completely fair to look at Obama's actions in this election cycle and view them as rather cynical with regards to the gay community. While his stance on gay rights is very similar to Clinton's, he has found more traction in courting southern evangelicals than gays. I find this very unfortunate and wish there was someplace I could turn to for a better candidate. Unfortunately, everyone but Clinton has dropped out and she has, in my opinion, proved herself to be the worst possible Democratic candidate we could have running in the G.E. It's not easy to make me so disgusted with a Democratic candidate that I would say that I could never vote for them in a primary but it has come to that with Clinton. She has played to the very worst of our fears and emotions. She has used tactics that help ensure that if she does not get the nod that Obama stands no chance in the G.E. I believe she is working to make a run in 2012 and does not want an incumbent Dem to stand in her way.

However, once again, this is a completely justified colunm from gaywired.com. I just wish there was a better choice for the Democratic nomination. Unfortunately, I don't believe there is at this point.
