[lbo-talk] Constitutional rape

[4corners]

Sophisticated political strategists should learn to read bills better.

The legal incidents thereof language was in the original proposal but
was stripped from the one the Senate voted on.

Sophisticated political strategists wouldn't focus on trying to get
the one thing that turns many otherwise sympathetic people against
them.

Don't you think it's more important first to get anti-discrimination
statutes on the books across the country and civil unions in every
state before trying for the one thing heterosexuals prize most?

Call me an incrementalist and a realist, but the gay marriage win in
Massachusetts cost the Democrats the election.
