Don't get it at all. <BR/><BR/>All I can say is that I have met the guy and on some level, he is a little politically naive. I think this has been something of a protection for him personally (you know he has to wear a bullet proof vest often?) because he just keeps on keeping on acting as if people were going to respond to him out of their goodness. And that is disarming, sometimes. <BR/><BR/>But this endorsement seems unnecessarily clueless.janinsanfranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07548452260456734928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703913.post-88608960833699176812007-08-07T08:21:00.000-04:002007-08-07T08:21:00.000-04:00You and I agree on this, John, but many seem to li...You and I agree on this, John, but many seem to like the ideas of not moving fast and getting better-than-the-current fools elected first. I can't accept that any improvement is better than none as the answer. Instead, the question should be is equality right? Well, it is, so that's what you demand. <BR/><BR/>We have time for the front runners to start with DOMA is wrong, immoral and illegal.massmarrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02358207247771711952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703913.post-81891501921861177892007-08-07T07:28:00.000-04:002007-08-07T07:28:00.000-04:00As we see from Don't Ask Don't Tell, when we allow...As we see from Don't Ask Don't Tell, when we allow the marginalization of our rights it makes people believe that what was given was enough. <BR/><BR/>Only when we are all strongly speaking up for ourselves will we have true equality. I believe in thirty years we will look back on this election with the same distaste we do for how blacks were treated in the 1960's. That's a long time to wait, and I would rather not let equality grow at its own pace. Surely our heritage calls for us to move from comfort into conflict over what we believe is right.John Hostyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05152742238759546206noreply@blogger.com
