Oh, look: There's a closeted gay man staring back at you. One who is so self-loathing, he's aligned himself with the most amoral (under the guise of High Church Morality) bunch of crooks and sleazebags we've seen in a while in Washington (and that's saying a lot), who would strip your fellow LGBTs and fellow Americans of their basic civil rights in the name of a morally wrong and excrutiatingly misguided war.
Take a look at the men around you, now clinging to whatever they can. They need some mirrors too, to see that the American people are no longer in lock-step behind you about terrorism, that quagmire in Iraq, on countless other issues on which you claimed the moral high ground...which turned out to be quicksand that enveloped us all.
And Democrats: Go podcast Robert Reich's excellent commentary from this morning's Marketplace Report (npr). It's about setting the agenda for the next 2 years--if Dubya bats it back, you've got what you need to win in '08. If he signs off (unlikely), you've made the progress we want and so desperately need.
