Log Cabin Republicans endorse McCain
Today at the University Club of St. Paul, the Log Cabin Republicans announced their endorsement of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) as their presidential candidate. The group, comprised of homosexuals who support the Republican Party, voted 12 to 2 in favor of supporting the presumptive Republican nominee.
The “Big Tent Event,” was highlighted by speeches from several prominent conservatives. Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, called for a return to smaller government policies of Ronald Reagan, claiming Democratic nominee Barack Obama’s capital gains tax plan would hurt the middle class. Norquist predicted that as soon as voters realized this “the election will be over much sooner than we think.”
Former Congressman Jim Kolbe also made an appearance at the announcement lunch lauding the Senator for his maverick approach and his willingness to embrace diverse viewpoints. “He’s a different kind of Republican… he knows what we need to do to confront these challenges,” said Kolbe, the second openly gay Republican member of Congress. “We have a long way to go, but we’re going to get there one step at a time.
