Should Andrew Sullivan reject all of your arguments out-of-hand just because you are a heterosexual?

If I change my position on Bush because of my heterosexuality, than yes my arguments are suspect. Sullivan supported Bush up until last week when Bush announced his support of a constitutional amendment. At that time, Sullivan went nuclear against Bush. Sullivan's views are clouded by this, so I don't put much weight into Sullivan's disingenuous rant.

Sullivan has been edging away from Bush over out-of-contol government spending for at least six months. True the gay marriage thing pushed him over the edge, but who does not form political opinions based on a wide variety of issues? This particular issue just happens to be of great importance to Andrew Sullivan.

At the end of the day, I suspect that Sullivan will fall back into line and support Bush. The stakes are just too high. Far better to be homosexual with the Republicans in charge than with the Mullahs in charge.

As far as the lack of parallels between Winston Churchill and George W. Bush go, I take no comfort in the fact that the battle is still raging. I think there are a lot of people who just want to ignore the War on Terror and hope it goes away. These people resent The President, and will vote against him as a vote against war in general. Sad but true.

Whether or not this is enough to swing the election is debatable.
