They shouldn't be allowed to pursue their agendas in the name of some kind of moral imperative. In fact, if they really were religious, they wouldn't have an agenda at all.dantallionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13018930605323027237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7496121.post-1139952943451291922006-02-14T16:35:00.000-05:002006-02-14T16:35:00.000-05:00At the Frist of playing the Devil's Advocate, I di...At the Frist of playing the Devil's Advocate, I disagree that pushing legislation in Congress in the face of inevitable defeat is necessarily a bad idea. After all, when the civil rights movement first began (and I'm talking about way back, like the underground railroad), there's no way legislation would have gotten passed. That doesn't mean the legislation itself was worthless. More politicians should stick up for principle and risk willing to be unpopular.<BR/><BR/>That said, Bill Frist is a sell-out, pandering to the worst, meanest elements of the Republican party at the expense of the dignity of the American LGBT community. I no more believe that he really CARES about this issue than I believe in Santa Claus.<BR/><BR/>Moreover, I am APPALLED at the Democratic response so far. Harry Reid questioned whether this should be one of Congress' top priorities. Priorities? That's the wrong statement to make, Harry. What you need to say is, "Bring it on, Bill. Let's show America once and for all that this Congress will not stand for enshrining discrimination in the Constitution." This is why the Democrats lose.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13524483460829802534noreply@blogger.com
