Look him up on …

In January 2005, GOP Sen. Wayne Allard (CO) introduced the Marriage Protection Amendment (a verbatim restating of the earlier failed Federal Management Amendment) with 21 Senate GOP co-sponsors. Later that year the bill was approved for review by the full Senate Judiciary Committee. Newly appointed RNC chair Ken Mehlman gave the bill his full support to reporters at an Ohio …

In 2004 then RNC head Ken Mehlman directly told Ohio’s anti-gay bigots to get a marriage ban on the ballot. Mehlman was interviewed after he spoke to the Summit County Republican Party’s annual Lincoln Day dinner March 19 at Quaker Station. “I’m here to say thank you,” Mehlman told the gathering, “because Summit County increased its votes for George W. …

Check out how the New York Times reports Ken Mehlman’s history with the GOP. Mr. Mehlman was in Mr. Bush’s inner circle in both presidential campaigns and ran his campaign in 2004, when the party courted Christian conservatives who oppose same-sex marriage.

“If you believe as I do that we ought to not base the laws of America over the laws of foreign countries, if you believe as I do that we need to have “Under God” in the Pledge, if you believe as I do that we need judges who understand their job is to interpret the law and protect the …

Not only did the ad imply that black Democrat Harold Ford cavorted with, gasp, white women (how uppity!), the ad charged that Ford took money from filthy pornographers. Mehlman refused to have the ad pulled even after loud complaints from the NAACP, saying it was an “independent expenditure.” (But check the “paid for by the RNC” tailer on the clip.) …

Ken Mehlman even tried to shift the blame for the invasion of Iraq.

CNN immediately edited this exchange for the west coast broadcast, removing all mention of Mehlman’s gayness. Mehlman resigned the next day, but planted stories that the move had been planned for a long time.

Don’t forget for one fucking minute that it was Ken Mehlman who presided over the Republican Party while the GOP ensured that anti-gay items would be on MANY state ballots in order to drive homophobes to the polls.

Maybe the $4M loft he bought in gay gay gay Chelsea this summer did (or more likely, brought) the trick, as Mike Rogers reports today that repulsive 2004 Dubya campaign manager and former RNC chairman Ken Mehlman is about to come out.

“We at AFTAH have an idea: how about if Coulter donates her GOProud speaking fee to two worthy pro-family organizations whose mission (we hope) Coulter agrees with more than that of the phony ‘conservatives’ over at GOProud, who put ‘gay rights’ above traditional values. Here are two wonderful groups that could benefit from GOProud’s cash (via Coulter): * Elaine Donnelly’s …

The Log Cabin Republicans today issued their endorsement of Dan Donovan for New York Attorney General.

“In his latest email, the head of the gay affiliate of the California Democratic Party ‘Equality California’ tells us about ‘the U.S. Constitution’s promise of equality for all’. Funny, I’ve read the U.S. Constitution more times than I can count and have never found. The framers did indicate that the charter’s purpose includes securing ‘the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves …
