First off, haven't we gotten to the point where debates don't matter? I'm not hearing anything remotely interesting or new...it seems that a platform is drawn up, and that's that. To hear Edwards or Obama try to be as pro-gay as possible without actually committing to gay marriage isn't interesting or revealing, it's just disappointing. Screw the debates. If only Mike Gravel wasn't so crazy, or if only we could ever have someone who just stood up there and answered the same questions the same way, regardless of who was asking. I'm pretty sure that that is in no way a remotely original complaint, but it's the state of politics today.
And, of course, the Republicans aren't even pretending to be for gay rights- none of them accepted the Human Rights Campaign's invitation to a separate forum. I don't know whether this is the fault of politicians today, or our political system- it seems that there has to be, out there, a group of people who are conservative but cool with gays. They will never have a candidate though, becuase the candidate would have to come out of the Republican party, and being pro-gay would immediately eliminate any Republican from consideration for the party nomination.
In conclusion, politics is shit.
