Twas the Night Before Christmas Open Thread
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.

Gay Republican Groups Accept Second Class Citizenship & Defend Newt
Two prominent gay Republican groups have defended Newt Gingrich's decision to turn away voters who support same-sex marriage.
After the video of the interaction surfaced, the Log Cabin Republicans issued a statement defending the candidate: Based on his stated opposition to same-sex marriage, Newt ultimately concedes that he is not likely to win this particular voter’s support. It is irresponsible and sensationalist to twist this exchange into a blanket rejection of gay votes.So...If gays are narrowly focused on having the same kinds of rights as straight people, gay Republicans agree that they should not vote for Newt. If they want to hate on Mexicans more than they want to see loved ones in he hospital, then Newt is your man.
