Gays Get Major Money From Republican Leaders Paid By Other Republican Donors
Outcast William Weld Returns
Headline from Liberal Huffinton: "Steve Schmidt, Former McCain
Campaign Chief, On Mehlman Fundraiser: Same-Sex Marriage Becoming
Conservative Cause"
Its all in the Huffington Post.
"A major same-sex marriage fundraiser hosted by former RNC
chairman Ken Mehlman and other Republicans provides one of the
sharpest illustrations of how gay rights is becoming a cause among
more elite, establishment members of the GOP.
In addition to Mehlman, who recently announced that he was
gay, the list of attendees includes several surprises, such as Ben
Ginsburg, one of the Republican Party's top lawyers, and Henry
Kravis and Paul Singer, two of the biggest donors to the GOP.
According to one gay-rights activist involved in similar efforts,
the fundraising pool goes even deeper."
Public Advocate notes among the $5,000 donors to the
American Foundation for Equal Rights is none other than William
Weld who Public Advocate staged numerous demonstrations against for
his pro-gay actions while Governor and then who was banished from
Washington, D.C. years ago.
But there is major money being raised as usual and the profit
of being a top Republican National Chairman and the plum
assignments of runing John McCain's campaign is now being used to
raise millions to attack traditional marriage.
