Andrew Sullivan: Kerry: the right choice for conservatives (VOMIT TILL YOU DIE ALERT)

The Sunday Times ^ | July 25, 2004 | Andrew Sullivan

[MadIvan]

Andrew is merely upset that Bush tried to push through the new constitutional amendment defending marriage. Andrew, really, there are more important things in life than you wanting to get married to another man - this is blinding you to Kerry's deficiencies and exaggerating Bush's defects. Terrorists do not respect anything less than total resolve - and President Bush has that in abundance. You ought to be bloody ashamed.

Regards, Ivan

Ping!

Boycott his blog! I stopped visiting his site earlier this year when he started to become anti-Bush over gay marriage issue. He is a well known homosexual with AIDS.

Very nicely put, Ivan. I used to read Sullivan because of his well thought-out and well-stated content. Once it became gay-marriage all the time, the thought seemed to go out the window and it was no longer an enjoyable read.

What is interesting is this attacks Bush's foreign policy, something which Sullivan cheered on until only recently.

I stopped reading Princess Andrew a long while ago, when I found out just how much of a perv he truly is.

[Jeff Chandler]

Yep, it's all about fudge.

I like Sullivan, but even more than Hitchens, I never have ANY certainty that I know how he would think on any particular issue. He ALWAYS surprises me. Not a bad thing. Just means he's an individual.

I'm hoping this is mostly tongue-in-cheek.

[Cableguy]

His title should be

Kerry: the right choice for homosexuals

[rintense]

He is thinking with the wrong head. Again.

If the left, homoesexuals, etc. are so passionate about their right to marry, then why not ask it to be put to a national vote? Let the American public decide.

[Dave Burns]

If John Kerry's the right choice for conservatives then the Liberals are all voting, financing, and campaigning for the wrong choice.

[nuconvert]

Maybe that wasn't a good phrase to use here..........

A thoroughly disingenuous piece. Sullivan hasn't bitched about Bush being reckless before. Now suddenly he does. What he bitched about was that Bush was too craven to the religious right when it came to gays. Why doesn't Sullivan just admit that he gives that one issue huge weight, and since he doesn't see much difference between Bush and Kerry on other issues, he is just free to vote based on the gay issue? Wouldn't that be a tad more honest, than all the tendentious bridgework about "recklessness?"

Andrew, I hate it that you have become something of a liar. I thought better of you. I don't mind it much when you annoy "conservatives," I annoy them often myself, but I do mind when you just become another contributor to the tangled web, intending to deceive.

Wonder if the old barebacker is dating David Brock?

[gilliam]

You see, folks, it is all about gay marriage. When Bush went against gay marriage, Sullivan went against Bush.

[Tall_Texan]

There are some valid criticisms of Bush but deciding that the correct response is to support Kerry is like choosing amputation to treat a hangnail.
