Playing morals football.

[gulliver]

I think the Dems need to go on offense in the morals and values arena.

The GOP is on the run on the "real" issues of the day. In every category, including the economy, foreign policy, government spending/deficit, the environment, etc., the GOP is a sheer loser. Even the national security issue has been handed to the Dems thanks to the sheer idiocy of Bush's costly, deadly war for no reason.

But presto.

1. Rape rooms and liberation instead of WMDs
2. Sex slave trade
3. Gay marriage
4. Right to die

The GOP is moralizing again. The pattern is emerging again.

Americans want to think they are rooting for "good guys." It is an over-arching issue. The GOP understands that, so they position themselves as the good guys. Why can't the real good guys (the Dems) do the same?

With people like George W. Bush and Tom DeLay at the forefront of the GOP, that party has never been more vulnerable to having its hypocrisy exposed. Look at this guy, for crying out loud. Is this a "good guy?"
