Monster:
It is again quite funny you are laughing at me for my statement. You painted republicans with a broad brush with hate, pro war, anti-gay etc...
The nature of the beast for a politician is to win elections. I think the majority of republicans are ok with gay rights (gay marriage is a whole seperate issue. I am for letting it but it is a losing issue since a large number of states are banning it).
The ones who are most heard from are the fringe elements (remember Nixon's "silent majority?). Do you ever hear "let's wait for all the evidence" about a crime being discussed on tv? No, it is ussually fringe elements screeching.
You say hate, is it hate or indifference? Pandering to the Black of Gay community is a lose issue for a republican. If they do this, they lose the very conservative base and they will still overwhelmingly lose the demographics of gays and blacks.
I think some combine gay rights with allowing gay marriage. I am sure there are plenty of people who support gay rights who do not support the idea of gay marriage. And for those who do not support gay rights, well? People hate all the time. I am overweight and have been made fun of all my life and I am looking at statistics that tell me I will have a harder time getting a job than a skinny counterpart...
As for democrats. They champion themselves as standing up for the people. They raised all kinds of hell over the Jena issue. However, where were they and where are they now that we have details of what might be the biggest case of civil rights violations in this country in more than 50 years (Duke lacrosse case)? Just off the top of my head:
1. Accuser changed stories, including number of attackers (20, 5, 4, 3), many times. At one point, she claimed her fellow "dancer" was involved in the rape.
2. Accuser has an EGREGIOUS criminal record (stole a police car and tried to run over an officer).
3. A photo lineup conducted by the police with pictures of just the lacrosse team and no fillers (shooting fish in a barrell).
4. Descriptions of "attackers" didnt even get in the ballpark of any of the accused.
5. One of the accused was indicted before police could even place him at the party!
6. DA publically called the lacrosse players hooligans and (falsely, by the way) accused the players of hiding behind a blue wall of silence.
7. Conspired with the head of a lab to hide exculpatory DNA evidence.
8. Refused to meet with defense attorneys who were willing to share exculpatory evidence.
9. Not only was there no evidence (a SEVERLY messed observations of a feminest SANE nurse IN TRAINING who mistook discharge from a yeast infection for semen and the false accusers messed up stories and lies), there were MOUNDS of exculpatory evidence. Yet the case dragged on for eight months before turning it over to the NC AG.
Nothing from the "people's party"
