After all - Rudytina opposed trans rights. That must make him a heroine to Purity of Rich Gay Male Elitist Essence crowd.
From The (Tear-Drenched) John:
No room in the GOP for moderates like Rudy
If you’d stopped after the word “moderates,” we could have found something to agree on. Having some gay male friends and parading around in drag, however, does not necessarily a moderate make - particularly when almost all of the other acts of the person in question add up to making the person objectively describable as a crooked, adulterous, opportunistic fascist.
Crooked.
Adulterous.
Opportunist.
Fascist.
Hmmmm…..have I forgotten anything?
Oh yeh…How could I have forgotten? How could I have forgotten? Add: self-loathing transphobe. And speaking of transphobes, here’s what The John had to say after the title of his post:
Giuliani’s stunning loss in Florida tonight
Stunning? Stunning to who? Rudytina herself? Stunning would be a loss by the New England Patriots this coming Sunday. They’re undefeated. Rudytina the Transphobic Drag Queen was winless going in to Tuesday (meaning that even a Giants victory on Sunday would be less stunning than a win by Rudytina in the State of Chad.)
, and his utter flaming out of the Republican nomination - he has a grand total of 1 delegate
Would it still be drag if he now starts dressing up like John Connally at charity events? Inquiring transsexual former Texans want to know.
- shows the degree to which far-right Republicans have taken over the GOP and forced moderates and anyone else who doesn’t breathe fire or speak in tongues out of the party
That part of the statement I can agree with (just not its antecedent.)
(your faithful blogger, Markos, Arianna and so many more included).
I’ll reserve judgment on Markos and Arianna. But…The John? Sorry - classist arrogance also does not a moderate make.
Just as messed up, conservative Republicans may end up rallying around Romney, a man who once ran for the Senate claiming to be more pro-gay than Ted Kennedy.
Considering what Dubya claimed to be going into 2000, you’re actually surprised?
A guy who in the past two years has suddenly become a lifelong conservative, after 58 years of embracing gun control, abortion, and gays.
58 years of endorsing gays? Wow. I guess in ‘77 he took time out from becoming a dog-abusin’ , job-cuttin’ greedmeister to fly out to San Frsancisco to campaign for Harvey Milk. I guess Randy Shilts had to cut that part from The Mayor of Castro Street, eh?
This is the standard-bearer for conservative Republicans, a guy who on the litmus test “conservative” issues is - oh I’m sorry, was two years ago - a liberal Democrat. This is the standard bearer for evangelical jam-Christ-down-your-throat Christians, a Mormon.And they wonder so many of us left.
Because they let Mormons in? I might understand The John’s frustration if Marie Osmond or Glenn Beck was the potential nominee, but why is he surprised about anything that a cartoon robot repug from central corporate casting (a friend of mine encountered him at a staged spontanaiety event at a grocery store in Iowa and said that he looked just as fake and creepy in person as he does on TV) would say or do to win any nomination to any office?
