180. Tactics unworthy
I feel the exact same way about the use of Evangelical preachers to hold up a minority as a wedge issue to attract a few votes. And if a Republican had defended that tactic by saying the preacher was a good, decent moral person, out outrage would shake the heavens. But if it is a Democrat, it's ok?
I always felt that courting the religious right at the expense of the minority du jour was for Republicans only. But if you are Obama, and the minority in gay people, it is glossed over, defended, pretended, spun, and called the politics of Hope.
I have supported Kucinich from day one, and would vote for Edwards. The Twin Baiters of the Senate are running the two most divisive and revolting campaigns I have ever seen run within this Party. The Fundi hate preacher thing is especially irksome to me.
