Log Cabins Meet With McCain - What WIll The GOP Base Think?

People have asked me why I write about Log Cabin Republicans. The short answer is I find them strikingly amusing. To me, they are like those handful of African-Americans who actually supported George Wallace when he ran for president. They are a walking oxymoron at odds with their very existence,

Now comes the news that McCain secretly met with the Log Cabin folks earlier this week. McCain apparently has scraped the bottom of the barrel when it comes to support. He seeks support from a group his party ignores and whom he actively works to deny rights. What gives?

Personally, I think this offers a great opportunity to promote the meeting with the GOP base. They will be outraged that McCain even acknowledged that gay people even exist much less are worthy of being talked to. McCain can't have it both ways. He will either alienate the GOP base of bigots and home schoolers or he will pry open the closet of the Log Cabins and look like he is pandering for votes. Oh wait, I guess he already is!
