If they consider themselves any part of a Democrat , they will vote for perversion as Democrats have supported it to the hilt as well as NAMBLA.

That all sounds good, but unfortunately its not true. You have people who elect Democratic Senators and Congressmen but throw their state into the Republican category for President in the same election.

A large number of voters are not like us. They are not partisanly tied to one party or the other. For instance, you have many elderly voters who favor Democratic candidates for their largesse in tossing programs and money at old people.....yet will vote Republican instead if there is a clear differentiation on something like values or national defense.

A scandal like this will have a corrosive effect on that sort of voter. It is one less reason to put the Democrats aside because...if Republicans are homosexual cover-uppers too...might as well get my prescriptions paid for.

Will other issues keep such non-partisan voters on the Republican side of the bill? Maybe national defense will do it...who knows. But the fantasy that this really has no effect is just silly.
