In a rather troubling Washington Post story about how these local gay marriage bans votes may actually be getting out the vote for the radical right, I found this little gem:
In heavily Republican northern Kentucky, for example, Democrat Nick Clooney, a retired TV anchorman and the father of actor George Clooney, is running for Congress on a platform that includes support for a constitutional amendment to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman.I know we need to win back the Congress, but at some point we have to draw the line. It's not worth winning if we're going to be electing more Stepford Republican clones like Zell Miller to the Congress. And it's not worth winning if we have to compromise our core beliefs and values in order to achieve victory.
It's high time the Democratic party sent a message to its candidates that you embrace sexual segregation at your own risk. Support bigory against ANY CLASS OF AMERICANS - blacks, gays, women, Jews, Muslims, Latinos, you name it - and you are NOT welcome in our party.
