Ted Olson went back to the dark side. He will be helping Paul Ryan in the debates.

A lot of folks are scratching their heads this weekend after word came that Ted Olson will be prepping Paul Ryan for his vice presidential debate with Joe Biden. Olson, as you probably know, is the attorney who won the overturn of Proposition 8 with his colleague David Boies.

... he may just need some guidance as to which talking point goes with what questions.

No way will he stray from his script and actually answer anything asked of him.

That doesn't mean they flushed the rest of conservative Ideology and became liberals.

Olson, while aggressively working to make sure all Americans enjoy the same marriage rights, became "the enemy of my enemy" not a friend. Hell, in spite of a Republican/Conservative/Religious hate fest against gays, the Log Cabin Republicans are still Republicans and will vote for Romney.

We should not look at someone who seems to agree on one of our policies as one of the good guys.
