I guess I wasn't really aware of this until I read it in the June 22 (Pride) issue of The Advocate. Writes author and Air America (that's lefty radio) host Laura Flanders:
At every level the [Democratic] party needs a push: of the 14 legislative bodies in seven states that have passed anti-gay marriage amendments (which are subject to voter approval), six were Democrat-dominated; two state legislatures had both houses controlled by Democrats.
Yes, on gay matters, the GOP is worse. But the Democrats will do as little as they feel they can get away with, and those who urge gay voters to withdraw from the GOP are ensuring that the Democrats will become even more lethargic.
I've said this before, but I like it, so I'm saying it again: If
a town has just two supermarkets, it doesn't do much good to
proclaim you'll never, ever use supermarket A (and anybody who does
should be cursed) and then complain about the lousy service you're
receiving at supermarket B.
