Point taken, Mithras. Here's mine -
I'm continually surprised by seeing bloggers point to homosexuals within the Bush camp (or the republican party in general) and say something like "How can they betray their own kind?" My response is that it's not surprising when any human being does this, and it's even less surprising when a republican does so. They're republicans, for Christ's sake! They eat their young.

I was sort of making the point that you are, albeit from a different direction and not explicitly: You can't tell from looking that a proud lesbian is also a fervent anti-choice bigot. However, I do remain surprised when people do mean and stupid things. And on the scale of mean and stupid, being a gay, anti-choice Republican is up there, like being a Jewish Nazi.

As I said at your place, I think young Ms. Keyes is motivated by guilt and a desire to please Daddy. Which is sad but understandable. Which is why I thought it went with the title of the post.

Alright, I agree with you again - it is sad.

I think I am more cynical than even you, Mithras. I am rarely surprised when people do mean and stupid things. I am, however, surprised when people do mean and stupid things which are obviously against their own immediate interest (and not in an attenuated, What's the Matter with Kansas kind of way).

And that's the gay Republican problem in a nutshell.
