Manhunt.net and the Republican Party - What's the scoop?

[gaybucks_chip]

...when it comes right down to it, the President or any political leader for that matter has very little absolute power. He/she may make a decision, but by the time the political advisors, and the infinite number of other "leaders" are finished manipulating it to fit their OWN agendas, there isn't really much left of the original decision.

Tell me you can look at how badly Bush and his cronies (and I'm not just referring to the Republican-led congress that was in place until 2006) have ruined so many things about this country.

The President can manage to do an awful lot of fucked-up things, and in the case of Bush, the losers he appointed to the Supremes will be there ruining the country for years after Bush is gone.

Again as I said before, I hate political debates. I merely added my two cents. It's just an opinion and as I said before, I could be way off. I don't care really, it's still choosing the lesser of two evils and praying that they don't screw things up worse than the last guy!

I told someone last week (and I honestly believe it) that a potted plant would make a better president than Bush

There is just not enough power in the Gay world. It seems we just don't stick together and some or many support the straight whatever!! I think it is a felling of, "well see I fit in!"! BullShit! they look at you and deep down inside for many it is total discuss, just like some look down in the gay world on other gays. As for Manhunt hope he see the light.

OMG!! Bush is a potted plant.

AND NOW THEY WANT TO PUT A "BUSH" IN THE VP SPOT TOO.

the president doesn't appoint judges per se
congress has to approve
congress approved all of bush's judges because the dems gave in
as they have in a dozen cases for the lack of any balls

this is one of those times where i totally forgot about a thread i started.

in any case, i enjoy the intellectual debate and discussion that the whole ManHunt.net/Republican Party situation has spawned.

maybe it was just a "publicity stunt" on their part, but i hate to just dismiss it as that. i would rather take this opportunity to discuss issues such as "why not be Republican AND gay?" the Log Cabin Republicans show us that it is NOT an oxymoron. i have many gay friends in North Carolina who are hard core Republican. i'm glad to live in a country where we have a choice, whether you agree with someone's political views or not, they have a choice.

how about someone's choice to do whatever they wish with their money? are vegetarians going to start boycotting Manhunt if they find out the owners had a steak dinner? or better yet, how about VEAL? are the environmentalists going to cancel their accounts if they find out someone is commuting in an SUV every single day with just ONE person? are atheists going to start boycotting a site if they find out the owner donates to his/her church?

now for those friends of mine who no longer have Manhunt accounts...i wonder where/how they are going to hookup. maybe they can find a website with a non-meat eating, non-SUV driving, non-Republican voting, non-church donating owner?

"why not be Republican AND gay?" the Log Cabin Republicans show us that it is NOT an oxymoron. i have many gay friends in North Carolina who are hard core Republican.

Let me put this bluntly... If you support people who are actively trying to strip our community of what little rights we have and deny us of any future ones - then you're seriously self-loathing. Being "out, loud, and proud" means you don't put up with being a 2nd class citizen.

The Log Cabin Republicans show us that being gay and a Republican is an oxymoron. They're collaborators with the enemy IMO. This hasn't just happened in our community - you saw it among blacks among the civil rights movement and among women during the the women's rights movement.

how about someone's choice to do whatever they wish with their money? are vegetarians going to start boycotting Manhunt if they find out the owners had a steak dinner? or better yet, how about VEAL? are the environmentalists going to cancel their accounts if they find out someone is commuting in an SUV every single day with just ONE person? are atheists going to start boycotting a site if they find out the owner donates to his/her church?

If something is important to you, yes, you don't knowingly do business with people who will take your money and use it against you and your values. Why would I pay someone to punch me in the stomach? (OK, bad example, I know guys who would do exactly that... )

now for those friends of mine who no longer have Manhunt accounts...i wonder where/how they are going to hookup. maybe they can find a website with a non-meat eating, non-SUV driving, non-Republican voting, non-church donating owner?

I've been surprised how easy it is to find hookups without Manhunt. BarebackRT and Adam4Adam have done the job just fine. I've logged in to Manhunt a few times and when I tell guys that I'm not on there much 'cause they're giving money to Republicans and mention I'm on the other sites guys have gone and signed up for the other sites... I don't think canceling Manhunt accounts is the answer - I think educating Manhunt users on the issue and urging them to switch is much better...
