“…didn’t agree with him on his “big” issue, sodomite marriage.”

The irony is that Andrew Sullivan is unwitting giving conservatives a backhanded compliment. He was enraged that neither George W. Bush nor John McCain would come out for gay marriage. Sullivan conveniently overlooks, however, the fact that also neither John Kerry nor Barack Obama supported gay marriage during their presidential runs. In other words, he takes for granted the latter two men are lying! Our English cousin is literally upset that conservative Republicans dare to tell him the truth. He prefers hearing the lies.
