I believe the term "Log Cabin Republican" came about due to the fact that some folks, in the "gay community" believe strongly that there is a distinct possibility that Abraham Lincoln (therein, the tie to "Log Cabin") was a participant in a "same-sex" relationship with one of his confidants (sp?) during the Civil War...-
Conservative-thinking, gay folks that are Republicans have formed their own group as an adjunct to the Republican Party and they "adopted" this name ... "Log Cabin Republicans" - sorta' sneaky, isn't it?
Now, keep in mind...that freakzoid from Iran, President "Ineedahandjob" has pronounced that there are no homosexuals in Iran.
If the Repos can welcome gay-folks, does that make the Reps better than Mr. Ineeahandjob and his ilk in Iraq?
I would HOPE that everyone on this thread would, AT LEAST, agree to this statement!
