The party will change only from the inside. Pressure from the outside, from the far left won't work. The GOP must be transformed one person at a time, across America on the grassroots level by gay Republicans and their fair-minded allies. Across America, gay Republicans are shattering stereotypes and educating rank-and-file Republicans about the importance of fairness and equality for gay and lesbian Americans. This is the right path to progress.Sounds laudable, except for the minor detail that it isn't working, and their donation of money to Republican politicians means their civil rights get further hammered.
I have to say I am beginning to believe that these abortions, given their excruciating moral and personal choices, may be the most defensible in context of all abortions. And yet they seem to be taking life in a more viscerally distressing way. I need time to think and rethink these things. I would not have without reading these extraordinary accounts.One thing I like about him is that he wears his heart on his sleeve in a way that most bloggers don't.
His political affiliation should make one question whether he is a credible voice in the media about the subject of war crimes. If he's going to be cited, that's fair comment.He's a starry-eyed kool-aide drinking Obama fan on every other issue. He's even been telling people to vote for Coakley. He also voted for Kerry in '04. I'm not really sure what impact you think his affiliation has on this.
An avid Bush supporter is, quite simply, less credible on the topic of torture than someone who was not an avid Bush supporter.I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say here. If someone who was a bush supporter says "torture is bad" it actually means that torture is good? Is that what you're trying to say here? We should consider Sullivan's support for bush when weighing his arguments against torture? That since he was wrong on bush he's also wrong on torture and actually torture is good?
FWIW, Sullivan sees Coakley losing by double digits.The race hasn't been getting 'close' Brown has been getting farther and farther ahead. The latest PPP Poll has him up by 5%. and in the one before that he was only up by 1%
...
I just saw that. It's the first thing I've ever read by him, and I think it's safe to say the last. Blind, incoherent pessimism can be every bit as dumb and detached from reality as blind, incoherent optimism.
Yes the race has gotten close, but even if Coakley loses, they will probably finish up Health Care before the new guy is seated. Senators don't take office the moment the election ends. As far as his claim that health care cannot pass even if Coakley wins- that's just being a jackass.
Coakley lost this race about a week ago. That's when two big things happened.posted by Joe Beese at 9:42 AM on January 19, 2010
First, she started heavy robo calling. By heavy, I mean hundreds of thousands of calls. Normally, that's a good thing. The problem here is that there was horrible coordination between the various organizations doing the calling. The result was that many crucial voters have been getting calls 5 TIMES A DAY.
