I hope not, although that seems to be the trend. I can understand why a gay man would be fixated on the issue, but it's not the only thing in the world that's important. But Sully is too insightful a commentator to be getting this single-minded.

Honestly, I used to read Sully all the time but have done it intermittently of late. More the last few days because he's apparently pinging Weblogs now so that his blog shows updated on my 'roll. But it does seem that virtually every time I'm over there, he's going on about gay marriage.

I'm with Rush (the 1980s singing group, not the radio guy) on this one: "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."

Checks and balances are enough uncertainty to me. I'd prefer to have a political party in charge and responsible.

I'm also perplexed about the way Sully flirts with voting Democrat on gay marriage, since he professes a desire that marriage be voted on by each individual state and comes out (pun not intended) in favor of federalism on the issue. Is that not largely Bush's position -- no FMA unless judges try to nationally impose gay marriage (a development Sullivan says he opposes)?

What really drives me up the wall are those people who run around p*ssed at Bush for one thing and vow to vote for someone who is diametrically opposed to their views on just about everything else. They just don't think.
