I'll admit, though, that Obama's "evolving" stance on gay marriage rubs the same irritated nerve.  The Republicans don't have the market cornered on flying lingual figure eights.  I can understand the need for political expediency when running for an office (Hell, even Lincoln clearly employed the tactic!), but once you're in I'd have thought there was much more room for putting your cards on the table.

That said, it's nowhere near the right's ability to raise mumbo jumbo to an art form.

The asshole was on CNN again tonight and every other sentence ended with...wait for it....Religious Protections!  I finally got no nauseous listening to him I had to give up on my snack.

Whatever concessions were made to this asshole and his "base constituents" (Which, of course, included veterans, firefighters and all the other pillars of society!), they just weren't enough.  But it came to nothing for his dark age mindset...NY passed it!

(didn't we have a gay/lesbian political thread in here somewhere?)
