Yeah - the gay rights thing is a good enough reason to slant towards the democratic side of things, and at least you acknowledge that and seem to look at everything objectively all the same.
My slant is anti-IRS, pro liberty, anti-government in our business, and everyone equal across the board.
There was a time when that stance leaned more towards the republican side of things because everything I hated about them was legislation they could never reasonably even hope to pass (i.e. choosing the candidate that could do the least amount of damage).
Anymore it seems there is not a lesser of two evils, just two opposing evils (though more and more they are becoming less and less different).
And as with every election, the candidates I hate most match with the order of who is most likely to win, when divided party to party anyway - much like last election where the Dems gave us Kerry (WTF?) instead of any of those many candidates people actually liked enough to cross party lines. And like four years ago, I'd take Edwards over Obama, Obama over Hillary, and any of those three over anyone but Ron Paul - and I'd especially take any Democrat over Romney and Huckabee.
And that "Things you Have to Believe..." list is fantastic. Of your own creation?
... although the Clinton scandal - they had so many valid impeachable offenses before that mess - but things like Watergate, Iran Contra, Enron, Halliburton, Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate, etc - draw too much attention to how out of control the government has become - and you won't see enough politicians pointing fingers in any such things these days because it is too much like throwing stones in glass houses. Trying to go for the sex scandal instead was one of the stupidest things they could ever have done, the stupidest fiasco the world has ever experienced, and the worst crime against the nation because it turned any future impeachment process into a doomed affair and a joke. There were many republicans who thought the whole ordeal was insanely dumb, and perhaps more passionately.
Furthermore, both parties are total sellouts to the corporations, though one is more likely to sell us out to military contracting companies and the other to the insurance and pharmaceuticals industries, there are too many industries that either willing to get into bed with at the expense of our freedoms.
... And both are advocates of censorcism. If I had my way, late night TV could have a show where a gun-toting madman showed us all how to make bombs while sodomizing a guy in a Hello Kitty outfit atop a pile of human remains and singing the national anthem under a burning flag. I wouldn't watch it, but I would stand for the rights of others to do so.
