Sending openly gay men to positions in the government doesn't constitute approval to you?

Not anymore than sending a cigarette smoker to be an ambassador constitutes approval of smoking.

He wooed the christians into believing that he was going to hold the line for them and he hasn't.

No he didn't. You thought because Bush said that he read his Bible and prayed that he was going to do what YOU thought that meant.

I daresay that appointing a gay man to a government position is neutral, as long as the gay man doesn't turn this into a platform for gay advocacy.

I'm sorry Bush doesn't measure up to your lofty standards for President.

My jaw has dropped to the floor! Sorry, but that analogy won't fly with me. The problem is that cigarette smoking isn't going to swing our culture farther away from Judeo-Christianity and into cultural paganism.

I thought he meant what he said about holding the line for the religious right. Appointing openly practicing homosexuals to ambassadorships isn't exactly upholding that promise. Its giving the nod of approval.

Lofty? All I ask for is that I got my money's worth. So far, I've been shafted on the stem cell issue and the homsexual issue. When the war winds down, and the crumb throwing to the pro-lifers hasn't been rectified, I'm not so sure the republicans will still have a base.
