Let them bloody each other and spend money out the wahoo. It seems to me that the more whacko they seem, the more moderate and "normal" our side seems. The mainstream middle will get fed up and come flocking our way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-79853403121293540252007-06-29T20:19:00.000-05:002007-06-29T20:19:00.000-05:00Oops, sorry Gary, I should have read to the end of the post to see that you addressed Daniels' reply and I didn't need to quote it.<BR/><BR/>Again, I can see no reason why we should just let his pandering reply slide...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-57935766969652553942007-06-29T20:15:00.000-05:002007-06-29T20:15:00.000-05:00Yeah, but Daniels' written reply was pretty disheartening, here are a couple of paragraphs:<BR/><BR/><I>As I clearly said on June 15th, and have always stated, I support the traditional definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman, and would support an amendment to confirm this further in Indiana law.<BR/><BR/>The ultimate decision on this important matter should rightly rest with the people of Indiana, and although the amendment did not make it out of committee during this past legislative session, the Indiana General Assembly will have another opportunity to address this important issue when they convene in January of 2008.</I><BR/><BR/>Yes, it's true that Daniels does not want to concentrate on this issue, but there has been insinuation by some GLBT Republicans that he is not in favor of an amendment at all.<BR/><BR/>I have also been told that he privately opposes it and is, in fact, pretty GLBT friendly in his private views.<BR/><BR/>Well, I'm not having him over for dinner so I don't give a damn about his private views right now. He is a governor and the most public figure in the state of Indiana, and his public statements are what count. The language quoted above is a public statement.<BR/><BR/>We can debate the language all we want, we can talk about how he REALLY feels about it and blah blah f***ing blah. But the fact is he has clearly stated his position that he is, in fact, in favor of enshrining discrimination into the Indiana Constitution with at least some sort of a Constitutional amendment. I don't know how his response could possibly be interpreted any differently.<BR/><BR/>As far as I'm concerned, this is an unacceptable affront to the GLBT community, and I cannot understand why we should give him a pass just because he's not vehement like Miller and some of others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-3630386980569622032007-06-29T14:13:00.000-05:002007-06-29T14:13:00.000-05:00Bring it 'on, Eric.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait.
