Openly gay GOP Presidential hopeful...
Fred Karger invited to S.C. debate

Fred Karger, the openly gay Republican presidential hopeful, is one step closer to getting into an upcoming debate.

The South Carolina GOP invited Karger to take part in its May 5 face-off, co-sponsored by Fox News, as long as he can meet the requirements.

Karger, who has said he would consider his long-shot campaign a success if he participates in a single debate, received the invititation Wednesday outlining the requirements Karger must meet, including delivering a $35,000 filing fee to the state party. He said he plans to pay the fee.

But Karger also has to average at least 1 percentage point in five national polls leading up to the debate. And the little-known candidate isn’t even getting his name surveyed by national polling firms, let alone registering any support.

6. Do you know the names of the lawyers who fought against Prop 8 in California?
Hell, even Dick Cheney supports gay marriage. Dick f***ing Cheney! Our president, on the other hand, not so much.

3. Are they going to have 15 people on the stage?
It's not going to be a debate. It will be a tea party. :evilgrin:
