I CANNOT SUPPORT HIM IN NOVEMBER: I will add one thing more. And that is the personal sadness I feel that this president who praises freedom wishes to take it away from a whole group of Americans who might otherwise support many parts of his agenda. To see the second family tableau with one family member missing because of her sexual orientation pains me to the core. And the president made it clear that discriminating against gay people, keeping them from full civic dignity and equality, is now a core value for him and his party. The opposite is a core value for me. Some things you can trade away. Some things you can compromise on. Some things you can give any politician a pass on. But there are other values - of basic human dignity and equality - that cannot be sacrificed without losing your integrity itself. That's why, despite my deep admiration for some of what this president has done to defeat terror, and my affection for him as a human being, I cannot support his candidacy. Not only would I be abandoning the small government conservatism I hold dear, and the hope of freedom at home as well as abroad, I would be betraying the people I love. And that I won't do.
C'mon, endorse Kerry already! You made up your mind back in February!
YAWN..
Wotta drama queen.
Um, dude, you said this already. Why do you keep telling us?
You are and undramatic drama queen.
so andy is a mate on the "good ship lollipop".
Big deal. we knew he was a twinkie.
How will we ever recover from this devastating blow?
Oh shut the hell up Andy!! Your self-centered whining about your own personal anguish over a single issue, with reckless disregard for the security of the nation, is getting real old. Go to the Taliban and see how they deal with homos like you. And one more thing, if you don't like our country, then get the hell out of here.
Fine.
But shut up about it.
Too bad, another one issue voter bites the dust!
Does Sully believe the Taliban will treat him any better???
I honestly thought he declared this 2 months ago. He sounds like a Kerry supporter.
Hmmmm... she was there LAST night, though.
Just like some here on FR.
Fair enough.
On the other hand Sullivan makes sense when he says Bush has abandoned fiscal conservatism.
After listening to W's litany of government programs, one can only assume rhe Republican Party is now close to resembling the old Democratic Party of Truman and Kennedy.
He sounds like a 'girly man' to me!
He can vote for Bush, and be a homo, or he can vote for John Kerry and be a dead homo. The choice is his.
