But I do understand that sometimes there are things that need to be done before we get what we want. We cannot possibly gain rights if the Bush Administration continues to influence politics, and John McCain has shown at worse that he will be that extenuation and at best that he cannot make up his mind. We cannot possible create a genuine equal rights amendment without a fillabuster proof majority in Congress. We cannot get DADT overturned with a republican president. And we cannot hope to win the end of DOMA in the courts without a democratic president to replace the next wave of retiring justices. We have to look to the future and we have to realize that we cannot make the change that we desire without greater representation. I see Obama as a man who can get republicans to cross the aisle. I see Clinton as a divider. I see McCain as a foolish old man and Mike Huckabee as the anthesis of what we want (thankfully he can't win). We need all of America to want to turn away from the policies of the BushAdmin, and until we can get in the very least, a solid majority represented in Congress, one that isn't divisive and is willing to accept all voters, we will not have any hope to overturn DOMA or DADT or finally get a genuine ERA.
