(mainly foreign policy issues, such as "reset with Russia"

American Presidents have this pathological belief that Russia can be trusted and worked with going back to Roosevelt and Stalin.

I think it's more like Russia is an enemy we're really prefer not to have.  It does seem FDR really liked Stalin for some strange reason though.

In fact, you could say that on those issues that this administration was initially wrong (mainly foreign policy issues, such as "reset with Russia", withdrawal from Europe, naive policy towards Middle East/Muslim countries), Obama has done quite an impressive U-turn over the last 3-4 years, aligning himself closer with the Republican stances. On everything else (taxes, healthcare, reproductive rights, gay rights, immigration, climate change, regulation) Democrats have been consistently right and Republicans have been consistently wrong.

:hmm:

Of course, Obama was against gay marriage. When Obama first debuted all he gave gays was a rainbow colored Obama symbol.

*Notwithstanding Axelrod's true confession that Obama was really just bullshitting when he was against gay marriage.

But that's my point, really. Democrats may have been wrong on some issues, but it has never been the case where Democrats were wrong and Republicans right.

In your opinion.

Well, in the 3 issues that are important to me the democrats have always been wrong and the constitutional conservative wing of the republicans have always been right:
1- Liberty/freedom
2- Free market economy
3- small gubmint

Closer to 6-7%. And they have families and friends. I tell my parents how to vote.

Do you at least buy them new shoes at election time?

:lol:

For anyone keeping score, she took it easy on me last November and picked out a relatively inexpensive pair of J. Crew wedge shoes.

1- Liberty/freedom -except for things they don't like, like respect for beliefs of anyone who's not a Christian
2- Free market economy -because if it's not an illegal business practice, it's just maximizing profits
3- small gubmint -because hiring private-sector cronies to do the same job just puts more money in everyone's pocket

FTFY.

Gays are only 1.5% of the population.
Even if this were true, you're more likely to meet a gay person than a current member of the military.  Their percentage is down to less than 1%.  Since there's so few of them, maybe they should be discriminated against?  What do you think?

My knowledge about these things is taken from TES, who is a practicing US lawyer. So I would value his knowledge of US law to that of grumbler or in fact pretty much everyone on this board except for Joan and AmScip.

I like that Alabama's first legally married gay couples are black lesbians. History is one ironic bitch. :D

I don't get the irony.  Alabama was always fine with black people marrying each other.
