37. Yes, the wishy washy don't want to rock the boat
political strategy of the Democrats is why the party struggles with it's wimpy, soft on defense, tax raising reputation.

None of that is true, but they're too nice.

It's why impeachment was immediately off the table.

The reason same sex marriage, and talk of same sex marriage sounds so more mainstream now is because the issue was rightfully shoved into the faces of a mostly unhappy populace, just as all civil rights issues have been over the years.

If the Democrats have their way, this is how they will handle same sex issues:

Oh we can't do it now because we don't want it to cost us the White House this year.

Then when we win the White House. Oh, we can't do it now because we don't want it to be used as a wedge issue for the '10 midterms.

And then after the '10 midterms, can't do anything about it now because we don't want it to cost us the White House in 2012.

Vicious cycle. Ya know?
