Dan Ramos
The mainstream media is finally starting to pick up on the story of Dan Ramos, the chairman of the Bexar County Democratic Party who thinks gays are like very sinister Nazi termites with polio legs who are not natural but can’t be swept under the rug — so you might as well seek their endorsement! (This whole thing just goes to show that mental illness is totally nonpartisan.) The ABC affiliate in San Antonio reports tonight that Ramos will hold a press conference at his office Thursday morning, but it’s unclear what for. We’re sure Democrats all over the state — and maybe even some Republicans — are hoping Ramos will come to his senses and heed the many calls for his resignation, but don’t bet the farm on it. A spokesman for the Bexar County Democratic Party’s steering committee said of Ramos, “He’s been in the trenches for a long time and he’s not going to go without a fight.”
This is typical of someone who, despite being on the losing end of an argument just simply will not give it up, regardless of how wrong he/she might be. At some point, it becomes more about perpetuating the argument than whether or not anyone is right or wrong.
Quite the opposite. Dan Ramos restated his position at the news conference, refused to apologize, and against called gay Democrats termites.
