Reply #25: I think a lot of repubs like Simpson probably hate the idea that "moral" [View All]

issues won it for Bush. That's why we should push it and push it hard. It will expose the rift that they have in their own party. The CBS story may be right about it being a false issue (I don't think it is), but so what. We should bring it up whenever we can. I have already, and I make sure to use the word homophobia and to express my feeling that it was hatred and fear that won it for Bush. Maybe the fruitcake from Oklahoma and the brain dead guy from Kentucky represent the extremist right-wing, but a lot of the repubs must hate being associated with the fundies.

I haven't seen the show yet (I'm on the W. Coast), but I know Simpson is thin-skinned. I also think he would not like being viewed as being connected with religious extremism. But it's their baby now. It's the monster they created, and all the repubs should should be forced to face that ugly fact.
