This Carroll sounds like a fantastic person from what I've seen about him so far, but I'd really prefer he primary one of the useless House people or Scott -- Lindsey Graham has been a fantastic Senator so far and I'd much rather he stay. It's a shame Tisei didn't win in 2012 -- gay Republicans are quite underrepresented in Congress. At least we have Cantor.

So, basically just the exact opposite of what Marokai said Smiley

I've never heard any insinuations about Eric Cantor.

Regardless, you still have David Dreier, Aaron Schock, possibly Adrian Smith.

Ah, that came off unfortunately. We is Republican Jews, which, like Republican gays, are about 1/3 of the community but nevertheless frequently forgotten.

There are no openly gay Republican Congresspeople. And even if Dreier is closeted, he retired in 2012.

Jews are nowhere near 1/3 of the Republican community. Neither are gays, obviously.

I think he meant Republicans are 1/3 of the Jewish community.

This. Republicans are also about 1/3 (a little less) of the gay community. But both of these facts are forgotten very frequently and people just assume gays and Jews vote like African-Americans.
