Cindy's love for Veronica Mars was so very shiny at the time.

And I posted in it 65 times? And don't remember it at all?

But surely you weren't the top poster in it?

I know there are threads I never enter and it's NICE not to be the top posters there. Natter, though, I natter therefore I am (procrastinating usually).

eta xpost, obviously.

By standing up you mean coming out?

The statement, IMO, implies that he personally disagrees with the way he voted on gay rights. It would be cowardly to campaign on what you feel is wrong just to get elected.

If women care to wear carrots and roosters on their heads, that is a matter of their own concern, and it cannot be interfered with by the city, but when it comes to wearing swords they must be stopped.

You see? Wearing chickens on your head is not only fucking great, it's all historical and shit.

Now I want a sword for my hair.

surely you weren't the top poster in it?

Not even close. Still, top 30. But I was reading the discussion of it thinking "Ah, this will never pass." And then it does, and I take part? Whuhuh? It's like a void in my head.

Oh yeah, agree totally. I just wasn't sure if you were at him for not being upfront with bigots that, you know, I'm one of those people you despise v. what you say above.

Which I don't buy in the first place (his lack of personal homophobia), but that's another matter. Interesting that he's claiming to be as craven as George Wallace as if it's somehow supposed to be a good thing. These people are fucked up.

Has Heroes been officially canceled yet? 'Cause I'm itching to propose some more thread closings.

Still on the bubble, I'm afraid. Ausiello says it could go either way.

You know what though, no. If he thought the voters wanted to have racist home covenants, would he have voted for that, knowing it's wrong? Would he be willing to say that he would stand behind the voters in that case?

But it's different if he campaigned on the issue. If the guy was elected saying he'd vote for a reprehensible position, can you complain that he voted for the reprehensible position even though he personally disagrees? I mean beyond the fact that the he supports the reprehensible position at all? Yeah, I suppose you could, good point.

But do you want politicians who flip on issues they campaigned on?

I just wasn't sure if you were at him for not being upfront with bigots that, you know, I'm one of those people you despise v. what you say above.

That wasn't what I was thinking, but yeah, that's a good point too.
