Reply #62: I don't find it unforgivable, I find it concerning.

I also think the pragmatic solution would have been to stand on principle there as the biggest complaint out there is that Dems have no principles to stand on. By removing him, he would have been able to show that he stands for what he says and is willing to prove it. Unfortunately, he instead sent a message that he is willing to tolerate gay bashing (of course, just my opinion). I know he's not a homophobe, but I'd like to know that he's willing to stand up for equal rights even when it's not convenient. I think even repubs would have liked to see that he would stand up even when not popular.

Still, thanks for your time, Ripple. I appreciated the conversation. :)
