I was watching re-runs of Dragnet on Hulu, funny bit where they shake their heads at how 'Promiscuity is glamorous, even homosexuality is praiseworthy'. It hasn't been that long, and in a lot of places Dems didn't just stay quiet or murmur about gay rights while talking against gay marriage, they pushed actively against it. Don't forget that Westboro Church scumbag ran on a Dem ticket. Now the left did get their act together on gay rights faster than the right, which is commendable, but the Dem Leadership has no moral authority (with some exceptions) on the issue, because most of them simply took a weak stand on an issue that deserves a strong moral one either way. It's not a middle ground issue, even if gay marriage itself is one people can be civil and disagree on.




Being against gay marriage isn't "Far Right" it's about half the country and was about two-thirds or more or whole lifetime, you can't call anything far or fringe unless it's at least under a quarter of the population. Also, Bachmann got spit for vote in the primary and Limbaugh never ran for anything, Palin doesn't actually have very many extreme views that I know of and was only ever elected to Governor of a tiny state. BAchmann represents the part no more than Kucinch or McKinney, Palin is no more representative of the party than Liebermann (who got kicked out) or Edwards (who is a scumbag). Limbaugh, Olbermann. You want to talk about say McCain? Someone we did vote for?
