Yes, I saw that the attack on Blankley has already started. Must be in their 'brown book'..

The problem with 'gay marriage' as a theme of the DNC, is that it won them nothing. The Mary Cheney incidents proved that both parties rejected playing that game. So while it *may* be the only issue (I don't know...) that can corral all their splintered interests to focus, most of them are one issue voters, and you better pick theirs. Evidence Hillary and abortion the other day.. MoveOn had a fit. Sooooo... what may be emerging, is the left using the Gay (and various other) activist wings with their established shills in the media and blogging machines, until they no longer need them... just like they did to JesseJackson et. al. They will NOT have a seat at the DNC table *ever*, no matter what promises are made to them. Again, using history as our guide, where have Democrats ever trusted blacks in high profile, powerful positions?? None. Interesting discussion.. Wonder how much money the left can soak from each group to stay afloat. Uncle George Soros may have to dig an inch deeper.

I see what you are saying. However, that gay/dems don't operate the same way others do: Meaning... they do a tack, position, push forward approach. The Gay lobby has gotten more people to acknowledge "domestic unions". That is what they consider a major success, and when looking at the broader picture -- they are right. So although the "gay marriage" issue didn't specifically help them in this last election, they are counting upon the "kindness" of strangers to help them end up at their finish line of "gay marriage". And why this issue? It will really screw up international communications, trade, in-country laws. It will create violent social upheaval in all institutes. This is not what they say they are after -- they say they are after "equality". Yeah, leveling all nations with one fell swoop, IMHO.

I look at it this way: The party that promote abortions has no limits on who they'd abort. Meaning, they'll abort their own malcontents (or out them) any bit as much as they will political opponents.

And you are quite right, Dems have NOT promoted minorities despite all the rhetoric. Therefore, yours:

what may be emerging, is the left using the Gay (and various other) activist wings with their established shills in the media and blogging machines, until they no longer need them... just like they did to JesseJackson et. al.

is bang on target. Couple this with Hillary's: I'm going to take something (away) from you for the common good.

I agree with you -- it's a losing strategy. It's akin to cutting off your own legs.
