The A** of Life?

Only in the modern Democratic party could we get this headline:
Chelsea Clinton hits the gay bars in Philadelphia
And find contained within the story, this tidbit:
While most onlookers asked for hugs or pictures, a small number asked her why or questioned her on issues such as her mother’s plans to address poverty.
“Hillary Clinton will get rid of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell…and march in gay pride parades,’” Reiner said to cheers at Sisters.
For most, including Chelsea and the governor, it was a night of fun.
“I grabbed her a**,” shouted one woman, prompting surprised looks and laughter from Chelsea and campaign staff escorting her.
“I’ve been trying to find you all night and I found you and you’re gorgeous,” Dustin Thorn, 31, of Philadelphia told her.
“I think Chelsea looks better in person and she’s got the body and a** of life,” said Christoper Murray after wrapping his arms around her and giving her a big hug.
I’m sure Middle America will find it interesting - should Hillary get the nomination - that she’ll march in gay pride parades. It’ll make a rather fun debate question. But all is not well with Obama in the gay community:
“It just points out a whole difference between the campaigns that the Clinton campaign is talking to everybody,” said Michael Howard, Philly, 47, who went to Bumps to see Chelsea.
“Obama is trying to come across as Mr. Rainbow, but he’s not,” he said. “He talks to every tiny black newspaper, every tiny Hispanic newspaper, every Asian newspaper, but not the gay press and then he says he only talks with mainstream press.”
Poor Obama - just doesn’t have the a** of life, I guess…

it really makes you wonder about liberals in politic’s…this represents maybe 1.5% of the vote…not worth sending ones young daughter to cultivate….unless that is ones daughter is just gravitating to a level of morality that her mother shares….ever wonder why billy cheated on the hill?…might have some potential causes that might…

Man… slow news day?
Obama not wearing an American flag lapel pin.
Clinton marching in gay pride parades.
Is there anything else that could really piss you people off? This is too funny.

Maybe Jesus Obama is a closet “progressive” in some areas.

Mark,
You are a sad, sad man.

Mark doesn’t seem to be pissed to me. He seems to be making light of this topic. It seems to me that you’re the one making something out of nothing. Finding yet another way to denigrate (spell?) Mark on HIS blog!
By the way,
I could give 2 shits about whether Obama wears a flag pin or not. It’s his liberal policies that I dont like. Is that legitiment enough for you sir? I saw Obama make a campaign stop here in Terre Haute, IN at a local high school.
If you open your eyes and ears and listen to him, he’s not that special. Same old promises, promises, and BS.
You could say that his campaign has used a “shock and awe” approach to campaigning here in IN. But his speechs offer nothing but “smoke and mirrors.”

Zach, if that is your opinion, then that is fine. I have no problem with that.
It is all the clowns here that make an issue of no flag pin or that he once in his life knew a communist or that his father was a Muslim, blah blah blah blah.
If you legitimately look at his policies and just don’t agree with them, then yes… that is legit and that is the way it SHOULD be. Then we can talk about ideas and not dumbass things like pins and who he once knew 40 years ago.
That is precisely why I do NOT like the Presidency of George W. Bush. It is the policies that he has put forward that I strongly disagree with.

Oh oh, I saw her, I was like so so excited. I told her, “girl, I would just die for your hips”. Do you think that was too political?

I heard Larry Craig was in the bathroom promoting McCain.

I must admit that Bush has a pretty tight butt on him.
Too bad he can’t run the country for sh*t though.

The gay thing should definitely be a problem in Middle America… after all gay people live exclusively on the east and west coasts. Even in Pennsylvania, gay people are only found in and around Philadelphia… the rest of the state is Middle America and hence is devoid of gays.
Except there is a paradox here… thanks to the fact that there are no gay people in the Heartland, there are also no homophobes. Unless a Middle American happens to journey to the coasts, they will never encounter a gay person, and hence they will be unable to form an opinion—- good OR bad— about gay people. The issue of hay marriage, for example, is a non issue in places like western Pennsylvania where there are no gay people to enter into relationships with each other.

Timothy,
help! i think i’m drowing in the sarcasm!
Throw me your penis and i’ll grab hold so i don’t drown!
14. RC | April 22nd, 2008 at 12:25 pm
Timothy looks deep into the hearts of all Pennsylvanians and concludes there are no gay people in western PA. Pittsburgh? Harrisburg? Nope, not one gay person.Apparently they are all in and around Philadelphia. Also, unless you are on the coasts, you will never encounter a gay person.

Big boring deal. Younger people are comfortable with gay friends, gay associations, and going to gay environments. Gay clubs are packed with lots of non-gay people these days. The barrier between straight and gay has been largely broken down amongst the young, particularly the well-educated, affluent, and urban/suburban populations. It is just not an issue in my generation. Even in Middle America, homosexuality has been largely integrated into mainstream society. We must move beyond primitive mindsets that divide people.

Timothy,
Wow, I am genuinely impressed with your insight and analysis and am absolutely disposed to agree with you. The only problem, what about former Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, Commissioner Bruce Barclay, a Republican:
Barclay has now admitted to “errors in judgment”. Hmm, like getting caught by your own surveillance system, perhaps? There’s probably no self-loathing quite like being a closeted gay man and being a Republican elected official.

Steam #11- So which other political figures you find attractive and lust for ?

The way this is looking. The U.S.A is going to be the gayest country in the world.

Eric;
>>>>The way this is looking. The U.S.A is going to be the gayest country in the world.<<<
If the USA mirrored this website you would be correct.
We seem to have several gay serial disruptor’s who post here for no reason but to attempt to ruin a good site.

You liberals are just amazing - and entirely humorless…
Must be very boring to hang out with you… meanwhile, down here in my neck of the woods, we’ve been having a lot of fun with the “a** of life”…

Mark, are you trying to say there are no gay people in Las Vegas? Who do you think dresses the show girls and designs the sets for the big cassinos? Are you serious?
