Reply #181: Unless there are 98 Repubs in the Senate [View All]

A lot of Dems MUST have decried (spinelessly) the 9th's decision - since the resolution doing so passed 98-0

The group chanting the oath with the ever so subtle and not at all demeaning or in your face screaming emphasis on the McCarthyite insertion certainly contained a shitload of Dems too.

I do agree that public opposition to preferential treatment for Christianity (I will abjure the common, millennia old contraction which was a watchword amongst early church fathers and is still shown today in the ubiquitous Greek-lettered fish decals since apparently for some reason this may offend the spiritual descendants of those brave souls who drew fish in the dirt lest they be tortured for their beliefs) is political suicide.

That does not however make it wrong. Any number of legally and constitutionally sound positions have been political suicide in the past and will be again in the future. This too should pass. By the way public support for gay rights is also political suicide in the "heartland". Should Dems drop that one too?
