Kansas City politics was totally "teh ghey" over the weekend and it's always entertaining to watch so many politicos grab ankle for special interests.
While I'm all about elected officials understanding the needs of diverse communities, I'm not quite sure what to make of Pride Endorsements since I can see my homeboy Will Royster speaking to the crowd and the guy, not so long ago, came out with a political ad calling for hanging folks he didn't like in the Northeast Area.
Still, local politics always makes strange bedfellows.
And with that . . . Check the list of candidates that the LGBT community is getting behind. Ouch . . .

What is that nutjob Royster wearing. Pander much?
ReplyDeleteWill Royster is a running political joke. If he is elected that whole community will be a political joke. Maybe Northeast already is.
ReplyDeleteIs he carrying a purse?
ReplyDeleteI guess all of labor, kcpride, and all the other groups are drunk or on the payroll. Atleast he has never been arrested, wish I could say the same thing for Royster.
ReplyDeleteStraight (lol) Democratic ticket. I am sooooo shocked.
ReplyDeleteWhy would chris moreno work for a candidate like this? First rule of consultanting is don't pick losing candidates, especially when you are just getting started. Oh and get your money up front from him, because he won't pay after he loses.
ReplyDeleteThat's twice... fifty dollar fine for saying the worn out phrase, "politics makes strange bedfellows" and double when doing it in a story about gays.
ReplyDeleteYour balance is now $200!
1:36 (Rizzo)- Haven't we seen this each election cycle?
ReplyDeleteWhat was the result again?
Aw damn.
ReplyDeleteNOT GHEY NOT GHEY NO HOMO GULLY NATCHES!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWait till something comes out on Royster. stay tuned.
ReplyDelete11:16 is right. Anyone that thinks J.J. Rizzo is a serious candidate that will do serious good for that community needs to look in the mirror and say cocaine is a powerful drug.
ReplyDeleteRoyster is a good guy and he would be great for the Northeast.
ReplyDeleteAnd KC political people. Stop it. This is not Watergate and you aren't that good.
KC Pride is just an arm of Local 42 of the Fire Fighters. It is a fake.
ReplyDeleteWas it an arm of the local 42 when Will Royster wanted their endorsement?
ReplyDeleteAnd Royster is not a good guy. Look at the crazy ads his done in the past(talking about lynching people?). He has been arrested, he is banned from the plaza, and that's just the stuff EVERYBODY knows about. What happens when the rest comes out?
I think that it is really funny that when these same organization were endorsing John Burnett two years ago it was important. But now that they are endorsing John Rizzo over the crazy, racist, Will Royster they are political. It's gonna be a long summer Will.

It appears that KC Pride is violating campaign finance laws again. Do they have a registered federal political action committee? If they do not, they should not intervene in federal elections.
Robin Carnahan -- are you going to accept this endorsement from the Queers even if they have broken the law to give it to you? Pussy got your tongue Robin?
KC PRIDE is not a federal PAC; therefore, their activities that intervene in federal elections violate the law.
There are always attacks against KC Pride because Coach Comstock does not play the straight world's games. He does not follow the rules because some stuck up guy in a polyester suit tells him to follow the rules. He was hilarious at the KC Pride endorsement meeting because he was willing to make fun of straight people and say FU All!
ReplyDeleteVote for Gerling - Cardarella - Royster and Riley and clean up Jackson County Politics.
ReplyDeleteThe state and the Feds should really act to shut down the KC PRIDE club as a fraud. There are almost no Gay people at their meetings. It is not a Gay club. Being Gay is not a crime, but being a fraud is.

ReplyDeleteYou just hate all Gay people.
