I'd say this is definitely an R vs D issue. I visited gay pride in CR Ia a few years ago and a local democrat politician was warning the gays about those politicians that wanted to dictate to them who they slept with. This is not a true statement but he was certainly putting a line in the sand. At the end of his speach he said "What ever it is that you people do when your out tonight..just enjoy yourself".

So there he was totally condoning whatever they were going to do and yes there was a sexual connotation. I find the majority of Democrats I meet are not Christians and the majority of Christians I know who are serious about the bible are Republicans. We would never publically or officially condone gays.

Wasn't someone saying on here a week or so ago that the head of one state's Republican party (was it Illinois? My brain is fried today from lack of sleep! LOL) rode in the Gay Pride parade there? I mean, ok, you can call that person a RINO, but at what point do we have to admit that some issues cross party lines? Is it just that we're trying to make it easier for our brains to be able to say Republicans = This and Dems = That? I find that oversimplifying. Someone else pointed out that 93 out of 100 senators voted to confirm Ginsberg. Does that mean that there are no Republicans? I mean come on. Is there this ONE Republican way to think? And if we keep saying that, are we eventually going to just become so disgruntled when reality slaps us in the face that this is simply not how it is?

This is why I'm an independent. If I like a Republican, nobody's going to tell me I can't vote for him and the same holds true with a Dem, and independent, or whoever. Personally, I wish they'd get rid of political parties. I think they encourage laziness because the individuals running for office don't have to really think about their issues in any great depth.
