25. Ummm.....
Edited on Wed Nov-10-04 06:01 AM by are_we_united_yet
Didn't Bush come out for Civil Unions right before the elections? That could be characterized by some as ..well..wishy washy.

My point: Evangelicals/Radical Wingnuts are hypocrits. Flaming hypocrits. My opinion, Democrats need to pound that message home. I agree that embracing pieces of these jerkweeds radical agenda is beyond stupid. If the Dems want my support on the party moving towards Christian right, I'm gone.


"...with the other 80% of America and stop taking positions that allow us to appear "weak" on these issues.."

Pure bullshit. If your party has convictions on an issue and you don't take a position on it because you are afraid of politcal ramifications, find another occupation. Don't ask don't tell was a smashing success right? Wingnuts have no shame and sense of continuity and consistency in their value system so couching it interms of "this is 2004 ... " (which I think is a clever rebuttal btw) will be met with some bible thumping mis-interpreted hate nonsense they usually spew. Hell they justified slavery as God's will. No, you have to get in their face on these issues.
