Gay Patriot is in a tizzy over Patrick Guerriero....

TOPIC: Patrick Guerriero & the RNC: In the Log Cabin posting from Friday, a reader called Honest Abe commented the following:

The problem Patrick has is a lack of integrity. In August he met with Maria Cino (dep Chair RNC) and told her that while an endorsement was not at all likely Log Cabin would not go on the attack. Once the non-endorsement was announced they would work on electing (or reelecting) gay friendly GOPers.

Instead, in the LA Times, gay rags nationwide and now on CNN - Patrick is attacking the President.

When you lie to senior GOP official they remember - for a long time. An article on Patrick this spring in GQ remarked that he had put "a blowtorch to an otherwise pretty impressive resume."

Indeed he has - time to go.Indeed! Perhaps I should start my "Patrick Guerriero Slinks Home To MA Clock" before Election Day? (Can someone with computer intellect volunteer to help?)

Some later comments challenged the veracity of this story. While I cannot verify what was said, I can absolutely confirm via my contacts at the RNC that the meeting between Patrick and Maria did take place. Patrick knows what was said.

I'm just curious whether this story is accurate. To me it sounds like a he said, she said, sort of thing.

This meeting would have happened BEFORE the RNC "bible ban" flyers were exposed. Log Cabin Republicans tends to get called to comment on all this sort of nonsense. For the RNC to expect Log Cabin Republicans to be silent on this sort of nonsense is beyond the pail.

Patrick was attacking the way the President's campaign was using gay families as a wedge. If Patrick Guerriero, leader of Log Cabin Republicans doesn't speak up to this nonsense when he gets on TV, who will?

And again - both Gay Patriot and "Honest Abe" are spreading their rumors anonymously.
