Nice play with alnguage, I guess you're thus "forced" to listen only to Obama, Clinton and Edwards instead.  Beyond tired of the twisting of our language and the categories of rationality by partisans

They didn't ask about many things.

campuses to allow ROTC.  When the universities say, "But, they discriminate and we can't allow that," John, the brilliant lawyer, will turn to the military and say, "Hmmm... well, I guess you'll just have to stop discriminating then."

Yay!

My brother died of AIDS back in '87. I was involved in the Civil Rights movement back in the 60s and I married into a Latino family. Placating bigots doesn't set well with me.

Bill Clinton's DOMA will forever be a blight on his record. Harold Ford lost me with his transparent attempt to court the homophobic bigots.

You have every right to be angry. We all should be.

Gay issues just didn't come up tonight.   Honestly, I think that all three of them would push tolerance, but I don't think that any of them are going to have a gay rights focus to their agendas.

You know, perhaps the candidate who stands to save the most lives would, by default, save the most gays.  By ceasing all combat missions and pulling our troops immediately, not over the next year or five, like Obama or Hillary, John Edwards will TECHNICALLY save more homos than any other candidate.  
There!  Argue with that!

Seriously, I really do feel your pain on this.  I'm just being a dork to cheer your ass up.    It's frustrating to feel so marginalized.  The thing is that the rest of our problems are just so much worse right now, with the "war," the economy, the climate, the foreclosures, the fraud, you know, things are so bad that I think that gay rights are a second tier issue right now for our candidates, given the limited amount of time that they have to talk.

Now let's split this joint and go read Michael K at DListed.

Our treatment of native peoples is a national shame

Did you know they used to kill us just for the feathers????????
