More Republican Socialism

I was talking over at Mader's about Republican Socialism. The original question was about gay marriage.

BTW here is a previous rant about Republican Socialism. I predicted Keyes utter defeat. Sept 12. The second day I was open for business.

What ever you believe you have to look at the question politically.

There are a lot of RINOs who will leave the coalition if this crap gets pushed down our throats.

I call it Republican Socialism.

So the question is - big tent and enlarge the coalition for the war and economic policies of Bush. Or be like Clinton and waste your capital on somthing the American people are not happy about but also don't want disturbed.

This is Bush's "Gays in the Military" effort (a bridge too far). Or Hillary's socialized medicine effort. Polls showed dissatisfaction with how we handle medical costs. It did not translate into support for her proposal.

The same will come of the abortion hoo ha. No one likes it that I know of. At the same time few want to drive it underground.
