Gay presidential candidate Fred Karger has a message. The longtime political advisor knows he stands no chance of becoming the Republican nominee, but he wants to let others know it’s OK to be gay and to aim high in life.

This is just sad. I’m glad that he is sending an inspirational message, but at the same time I’m angry at the GOP (even though I’m not a Republican) for not supporting him because of his sexual orientation. 

I hope that one day (soon) the GOP will shed it’s silly right wing Xtian identity and embrace ALL people who consider themselves to be Republicans. I think that’s one of the reasons why, -despite all the bigotry and idiocy going on in the party- I’m still registered as a Republican. I want to (through primary voting and sane candidate contributions) bring the party to where (I think) should be. Fiscally conservative, socially libertarian, constitution abiding, and gun nutty. I’m all of those things and not a Christian. And religion has nothin to do with being those things. And a gay person can be all of those things too. The GOP has been taken over by people who really suck. I’m a republican who likes gay people and guns. Deal with it.
