And I don't recall seeing any strong sentiment one way or another, except for that from gay people and the military itself. But from your quote, I'd guess you'd back the Democrat in Quebec City's 4th ward.

You must have been asleep throughout 1993, if you don't remember the intesity with which Clinton was attacked for proposing that gays should be entitled to serve in the military. "Don't ask don't tell" was a compromise -- a shitty one -- with the Repubs.
But I'm not surprised that you conveniently forget anything that doesn't fit in with your postulate -- that Dems govern by looking at the polls every five minutes, while Repubs govern from some place of pure goodness and principal.
After all, that postulate explains why Bush is against steel tariffs. I mean for them. I mean against them.
And why he's against nation-building. I mean for it. I mean...
