After a flirtatious tease only yesterday, it looks like the Log Cabin Republicans continue to be misguided and abused by their friends in the GOP.
Apparently "dignity and respect" were just too much to ask for, and the drafters of this year's Republican Platform are having none of it.
From the WAPO:
GOP votes down civil unions
TAMPA The Republican party platform will continue to call for a constitutional amendment prohibiting same-sex unions, after a drafting committee rejected an attempt to allow for civil unions for gays and lesbians.
A loud majority of the committee opposed the amendment in a voice vote.
The loud majority has spoken. The desperate attempts by the few remaining socially moderate groups left in the Republican party - to what desired end, I am no longer able to suss out - are becoming increasingly pointless.
By dropping anchor in the cesspool that was the Tea Party 2010 harbor, The SS Republican is now capsizing; a victim of mindless panic. The steerage class has all run starboard side.
