<<Politics is never about doing what is right! It is always about doing what is expedient. Is that a foreign concept to you? Dems think supporting gay rights will help them, Reps think the opposite. >> You are dead wrong. Kerry lost in 04 because he refused to bash gays. Liberals supported integration because it was the right thing to do. Liberals supported the equal rights amendment for women because it was the right thing to do. And liberals support gay rights because it is the right thing to do. Does knowing we are supporting these things because it is the right thing to do, make you see us in a better light?
