Cleared this morning as he realized a significant portion of Republican Party thinks sex lives need to be regulated.
To be fair, Sullivan’s writings on this are exceptionally clear, coherent and correct. However, given the Christian Coalition has been trying to bring the Republican Party to the right for the last 25 years and has been moderately successful, this shouldn’t surprise anyone. While no party is free of homophobes, the Republican Party is the primary destination these days. Many Republicans aren’t homophobes–including Jim Edgar as someone who I’ve been talking a lot about. However, being surprised that Santorum or a number of other Republicans believe in regulation of people’s sex lives is terribly naive.
