I just fell in love with Howard Dean!
"So focus on the issue at hand. One can fix this problem by making it a policy to refuse to defend DOMA in all future legal challenges, including an appeal of this current challenge. Because defending DOMA will always require the use of derogatory terms when describing LGBT relationships and will always lead to a cowardly reversal of campaign promises made by Obama to Americans just a few months ago."

6. I appreciate Howard for saying this, but
please don't "fall in love" with a politician. There's enough of that around here already. They are politicians. A love affair with them leads to nowhere but Heartbreak City.

Once you fall in love with them, then they can never be questioned, criticized, or portrayed as reneging on their promises.

11. Unfortunately, many here don't use the term figuratively
There are people who get a little moist when they think about Obama or see a photo of him.

21. I Guess All the Apologists Are On the Bus to Dean's House to School Him.
"The President can't just ignore the law, Dean! He has to defend it no matter how bigoted it is! You don't know shit about government works!"
