Another Lying Democrat Sells Out Gays
(Why aren't you reading this at the new website?)

---
This time it's New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine:
Gov. Jon S. Corzine told legislative leaders on Thursday that he would prefer that New Jersey enact a civil unions law for gay couples rather than allow them to marry.

That prompted attacks from the state's leading gay-rights advocate, who said Mr. Corzine expressed support for same-sex marriage to a gay audience two weeks ago and had repeatedly done so during his 2000 primary campaign for the United States Senate.
Lie today, "clarify your position" tomorrow. Remind me again how Corzine is not "just another politician"?

Corzine, who bought his way first into the Senate and then into the Governor's Mansion, is not doing well politically, and has major egg on his face over the less-than-shoo-in re-election prospects of his patronage appointment, Bob Menendez, to replace him in the Senate.

So, as is typically the case with Democrats, lying to gays to buy their votes is no big deal — just be sure to "clarify your position" when your real constituency is actually listening.

Pathetic.

As for voters, being a gay Democrat is not much better than being a gay Republican. The proper course of action for a gay is to be a registered Independent, hopefully with small-l libertarian views.

The best way to combat the two-party system — and its double-edged "vicious Republicans / hypocritical Democrats" sword is simply by not being a part of it. A pox on both their houses.
