Humor says a lot about a person. :~)
I agree.
On abortion. You're right there too. That doesn't make it right tho, IMO. Bush's lack of more aggressive action on this issue thus far, is one of the main reasons, my support of him has cooled considerably. But just because politicians do nothing about it, doesn't mean, to me, that it is not an issue to be considered. Who knows that if a Pro-Choice person got in they wouldn't get active on the issue...I can't take a risk like that. Life is too precious.
That's kind of the same thing I think about the gun control thing...why give the opposing side even the slightest chance to get into power on such an important issue....As you said, they can say one thing thru the campaign and do just the opposite once they get in.
I don't consider gay rights a stupid and petty issue. The moral fabric of this country is unraveling faster and faster, why add to it. Gays need to get back in the closet and stay there, and stop corrupting our children.

I would his Supreme Court justices to the list as well.
That's for helping me out with the horse!
Because at this point, I think it's Rudy or a Democrat who will not even have the nagging guilt about irritating the base.
FR talks about a few alternative candidates, but at this point, no one outside FR even knows who they are. If they can catch up, great, more power to them, but at this point truly 'national' caliber candidates are few and far between.
On gays and abortion, I know when I say I just don't think it makes a difference, many here don't agree. But I'd be lying if I tried to pretend I cared more. I just really am pretty bored and unthreatened by gay rights issues... as are my two lesbian friends, who, I might add, are ex military (one of them anyway), are avid hunters and gun nuts, always vote for Republicans because they are very supportive of the WOT, and couldn't care less about marriage issues. I think the politics of gayness will be argued no matter what, and be just as tiresome no matter who wins this time around. It's a symptom of our time, and no president is going to make it go away because he has a negative view of it. Blech... enough said. It bores me. I just don't care. :~)
