re: #50 imp_62
If this legislation, and the paternalistic, religious-hierarchical social thinking that underlies it, energizes voters to come out and take charge of their local government, then a purpose will have been served.
Turnout in local and state elections remains below 50% on average IIRC. Many voters are those who feel strongly about issues, and the GOP has done a bang-up job of getting polarizing issues into the election process. Now the Democrats have to respond in kind.
I am starting to wish that I liked BHO a lot more than I do. I just can’t see a passable GOP candidate emerging.
What would make you like him more?
