I don't really care how they say it so much as long as they say something about how these are just distractions and not what we ought to be spending our time on. I do think they should state their position on it in a way that is palatable to moderates, with a little reframing it is possible. I don't understand though, why they feel the need to bumble through half-assed-sounding positions that offend one group and don't pull in votes from any other. Reframe it, point out the distraction technique, move on.
