Santorum/Gingrich Will Beat Obama

As early as it is in the primary season, after watching the Republican debate in Charleston I do believe I have seen a turn in the tide and my "political junkie gut" has erupted.

Besides the now "almost official" official tally of Iowa in which Rick Santorum has beaten Romney by 34 votes, remember a win is a win, Thursday night's debate was the strongest outing (no not that kind) for Santorum.

All that piffy-piffy about Newt Gingrich's second wife and her claim of de Newt wanting an open relationship had some of the CNN experts saying that will hurt de Newt with the women folk.

Oh really ? ... remember all the potty-poo when Clinton was running for office, didn't seem to hurt his bid any. No, Thursday night and up until I was seeing Romney as the Republican candidate, but something within erupted and I now see a Santorum/Gingrich ticket and one which this writer who has covered politics could very well beat Obama this fall.

Between the two of them they can pull voters, including Tea Baggers and the Conservative Right, from all sides and middle of the Republican party. And that ticket could very well take key states to get to the magic electoral vote count.

Now I've been wrong before, however when it comes to political predictions I've been correct more often that wrong. If this holds true right through November remember you read it here first.

The above being said before the South Carolina primary and now that Gingrich pulled off an upset thanks to that debate one thing for sure it is going to be a longer Republican Primary season than most have expected even in this early running. And the final decision may come down deals made in smoke filled backrooms as to who will end being the GOP ticket.

In any case when all is said and done we need a ticket which can defeat Obama.

Those Gay White Men Can't Jump

It never fails when someone tries to do something good there will always be someone to crawl out from under the dust ball infested carpet who will find fault and often from the LGBT Blogging World of The Elite.

Case in point the young and talented 23 year old filmmaker Ryan James Yezak who has put together a mini-documentary on YouTube using various clips from a multitude of sources showing some of the struggles of the LGBT community.

Before I get into the critic's unhappiness let me first explain to the critic about selection of footage. In order to make a short documentary in which time is limited one must make an editorial decision as to what will go in and what will not in an effort of story telling. In order to make said documentary it is done to give a limited view of a given subject matter and not done to necessarily make the masses happy with inclusion or exclusion.

Now to the critic of Yezak's short documentary, Pam Spaulding of Pam's House Blend who writes in part, Aside from clips of Ellen DeGeneres talking about the murder of Lawrence King (and a blink-of-an-eye clip of her coming out on her sitcom), you’d think lesbians are practically non-existent in the movement. And it’s definitely “gay rights” only – don’t expect anything related to trans folk here either. If gays and lesbians are second-class citizens, you have to wonder what society considers transgender citizens if we render them invisible from the movement (as bis already are).

And people of color? Well, aside from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (an opportunity to show gay activist and organizer of the March on Washington, from which the clip is taken, Bayard Rustin, was missed), one unmistakable landmark event in gay rights history is Lawrence v. Texas, which revolved around an interracial couple, John Geddes Lawrence and Tyron Garner. Not in the clips. Note: if Dan Choi hadn’t been in the DADT-related clips, then the vid would have been a complete whitewash. It’s kind of sad.

Yes Pam it is kind of sad that even though you half-heartily give some praise to Yezak for his effort that is over shadowed by your discontent of what isn't included in the documentary.

As I've written many times in the past in other editions of Focus On The Rainbow to critics of film makers, if you can do a better job then pony up and make your own. Until that time I say politely, STFU ! --- BTW another elite has reared his pointy head ... here.

I'm sure there will be others (H/T to NGBlog for the BTW).

CROWOLF has called all this complaining The Whine Heard Round The World.

Darnedest Things Said About Fags

The video below is making its way around various blogs from the nauseating elites to regular folks.

And let's face it this is nothing more than a self-aggrandizing self-promoting publicity "let's see how many will post it" video for Lambda Legal ... oh be sure to click on the website as shown in the video and donate of course.

All that said in a capsulized form it is worth viewing what some of the less intelligent, bigoted and homophobic folks who walk the planet say about the ghastly homosexuals who push on the norm of society their illicit and against nature agenda.

Problem is there are many equally stupid morons walking the planet who buy this nonsense spewed forth like so much vomit.

To wit I would ask those who spread this faggot hating gospel and believe it the following, "are you naturally stupid or does it come from inbreeding ?"

Before you write that check ask what Lambda Legal has done for you lately.

Michelangelo Signorile's Romney Lie

Michelangelo Signorile of Sirius/XM Radio and the editor-at-large of Gay Voices at Huffington Post lies to create a sensationalistic posting.

The title of the posting is Romney Likes 'Being Able To Fire People' for Being Gay.

The first paragraph reads, Mitt Romney surely gave ammunition to opponents regarding his leadership at Bain Capital when he said during a speech on health insurance yesterday, "I like being able to fire people." But he also unwittingly underscored his position on discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people: He likes being able to engage in it.

The link in the above paragraph which is included and not added by this writer is to another story at Huff Post with combined writers from the Associated Press and Huffington Post.

The title of that article is Mitt Romney: 'I Like Being Able To Fire People' Who Don't Give Adequate Services. But somehow and with utter falsehood and playing the sensation card to get readership to his posting Signorile makes a false accusation about Romney and what he said during a speech in New Hampshire.

In the posting Signorile writes about Romney's stand on LGBT issues including Romney's reversal position on ENDA according to Signorile as he writes about a letter sent to Log Cabin Republicans in 2006 and that would be fine if that was all there was to the posting. As a journalist, commentator, author and radio host he of all people should know about offering misinformation and inflammatory misinformation at that.

Signorile made a clear misrepresentation when he wrote that Romney likes being able to fire people because of their sexual orientation. Several readers of the posting have left comments calling Signorile to task for his spin and out of context verbeage at Romney's expense.

Slap yourselves across the face boys and girls as this is one of the LGBT elites who you depend on for your news and commentary for all things LGBT.

Signorile should be ashamed for this disgrace of professional journalistic ethics.
