...long run, we need to have a real conversation in this country about gay rights, women’s rights and whether or not we want one group’s intolerant moral code to govern the nation. We can only have this discussion if Democrats have the guts to take strong stands on these issues and bring the rest of the country to us. We need to have enough respect for rural America’s intelligence to engage them in discussion, rather than changing the subject every time “moral values” comes...
