It's odd that you're more about race than any of the supposed racists.

That's because I readily acknowledge that it exists, permeates our society on fundamental levels, and is still a barrier to our progression as a republic.
Those that don't are simply facilitating it and continue to enable it as a divisive wedge, arresting our development as a more perfect union.

Like a true white man, Seedy always has to tell a brother what to do.

I give you shit about it not because you're Burnt Sienna in the Crayola Crayon box, but because you betray your own most fundamental premise to who you are: your own sexual identity. 

Log Cabiners like you will be the first ones up against the wall with today's GOP.  And no, not facing it, palms up, slightly bent over.

But you're equally complicit in making it a wedge by insisting that it is the primary factor that people don't want to support/vote for Obama.

That's rather limiting.  Why does one aspect of my life (who I fuck) have to then override everything else in my life? Who are you to tell me what is my most important identity?

As to the other portion - if Darth Cheney can be brought over to our side...

She was hotter when she was younger.

Dionne? I don't think I've seen her in anything since.

Just another example of how the GOP tries to stir up publicity anytime a black person expresses support for them. Being a black conservative is probably the easiest route to mini-celebrity/getting paid to talk on camera.

Did you hear that, garbon?? You can be FAMOUS! I think you should petition to be the "Joe the Plumber" of this election. :D

Oh, it's not the primary factor:  merely a really, really substantial one for a particular segment of detractors;  detractors that would rather deflect it into such things as birth certificates,  how they wish he"would learn to be an American", Muslimism, his "foreign ideals", Kenyan anti-colonialism, et cetera, et cetera.  All very good examples of plausible deniability, oh no, we're not racist, it's not becuase he's black or anything.  C'mon.

But even if his detractors won't, at least I can call a spade a spade.  As it were.

Garbon would have the problem that he isn't actually a conservative. Though as long as he kept to Obama and the Democrats' shortcomings he might do alright.

The issue is that you spread around to anyone who calls themselves a Republican or against Obama.

My lack of social conservatism would be a problem - though perhaps I could gain points on discipline for children and church attendance (though mine is lax).

It would likely have a detrimental effect on my sex life (given the Republican=ev0l!!1) though I suppose it could help me to snag more of those wealthy men. :hmm:

Meh, suit yourself, nothing basic or fundamental about something like sexual preferences.  Luckily, my sexual preferences are already ensconced in liberty and legality*.

Never happen.  He sold his soul working for the Nixon Administration.  I believe it was a condition of employment at the time.

Not sure I should let you weasel out so fast. Again, why should who I fuck be the most important part of my identity? It isn't like I spend most of my time going down on someone (or vice versa).

Except, of course, when he said he doesn't have any issue with gay marriage.

Because sexual orientation and identification are fundamental rights.  They're human rights.  The fact that you support politicians that don't want to make them legal rights, and therefore abrogate your own rights, doesn't mean I can't give you shit about it. 
Therefore, I will continue to do so.  For your own damned good.

Except for bisexuality.  That's just a cop-out.

Well, that's only because he can't abort her now.

You've just conflated two topics though. A person's identity can be more than their sexual orientation - and that's what I'm taking you to task over.
