Now people are being stampeded into the Bush campaign over gay marriage, and vice versa.

I do not see much of this yet. Perhaps, I am not looking.

People are strange.

Indeed they are. I can remember my dad and his brothers arguing politics when I was a kid. They got pretty intense, but it seemed rational enough to me. Of course I was a young pup then.

IMO, the internet is not a good tool for arguing politics because it does not lend itself to a legitimate debating process - especially, on most SI political threads.

Speaking of the Pope - why do you suppose the Vatican has been so quiet on the terrorist issue? One of the few comments I recall was the Pope speaking out against the Iraq invasion.

Democrats feel their visceral dislike for Bush and his conservatism above all else. They aren't living in the here and now, and seem unwilling or unable to go to the seriousness of the WOT. Forget how they would handle the security of our nation. Most of their social programs are failures. We didn't even hear any new or positive solutions coming out of their convention, just the same old same old. They would evidentially wing it if they manage to win the White House.
