Every election cycle the GOP comes up with some wedge issue that they will pimp to fire up their sheeple and hope will carry them to electoral victory in November.

Whether it's their old reliable 'Southern Strategy' tactics of hating on Black people, the Three G's (Guns, God and hatin' on Gays) to hating on immigrants, they've had a mixed bag of results in terms of 'scurring' those vanilla flavored 'Real Americans' to the polls to vote for them.

That political TV ad in Gainesville makes me want to puke. Some non-trans man/molester walks into the bathroom after a cute, young girl does near the playground with the words, "the city council just made this legal". Talk about inflammatory, insensitive and ignorant! This is how low the radical right will go to win.

Not to be outdone, Sen. Barney Frank is blaming the delays of ENDA in Congress to transphobia. Instead of correct the wrongs and inaccuracies, he seems willing to blame us and send up a non-inclusive ENDA trial balloon for his constituency. How pathetic. As the blogger says, with friends like this, why worry about the right wing enemies?
