123. Majority rule does not apply when it comes to civil rights
And when does supporting and advocating LGBT rights mean the entire party agenda is being decided by a minority? That's a leap.

You say it yourself: Obama made a "stupid error." One question is does this portend more stupid errors while he is president? I think it may point up to the concern many have had about his inexperience.
