“That said, you make some great points.”

Like this one:

“...and keep the religious right out of politics.”

You liked that? Or was it this one that you liked?

“I believe that homosexuality is genetic and not chosen,...”

"I guess I'd be considered part of the religious right but in no way a fundamentalist. That said, you make some great points. The rah rah cheerleading and group think on FR has become so stifling that civil discussion of issues is near impossible. If you dare to post an independent thought you get attacked. It didn't use to be this way on FR. I don't know if McCain can pull this off but if he doesn't, maybe conservatives will get the hard slap of reality needed to get us back on track."

The above is C_of_D's original post. It is clear from her post and the reply of Columbo's to which she responded, she was agreeing with Columbo there is little room for disagreement about issues among some groups in the party. She was not agreeing with his opinion about homosexuality.

You are plenty bright enought to understand what she wrote. It is very dishonest of you to play the "gotcha" game, and then attempt to mischaracterize her opinion on homosexuality in an effort to rile up other posters.

Just as a caveat, I agree with you on the homosexual issue (except for calling them queers, which sounds bigoted - one is more effective when one doesn't sound bigoted) and I can't stand Barry Goldwater.
