Andrew Sullivan is the most useless gay man in politics. Do we honestly need ANOTHER guy around who watches "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" and thinks Bush is incompetent?

You're rich. I saw the poll.

Funny how Andrew Sullivan was popular on the right when he was for the war and now unpopular that he is for Kerry. National Review which gushed that he was doing for homosexuality what Mill did for libery is no doubt condemning him even as we speak. Sullivan has made no bones that his principles (same sex marriage, fiscal responsibility, Wilsonian intervention abroad) come before anything else. While I do not agree with him on a great deal of matters, I respect his independence and his putting principles over popularity (I suspect he has burned all his bridges with the left and is doing the same thing with the right) or partisanship.

Again I have little use for Sullivan. I think like too many American conservatives who are neither American or conservative he likes to send American troops across the globe for nebulous ideals. Like too many figures who do not live in America (P-town is about as American as New York City or DC) Sullivan has no conception of what America is really all about. His take on Catholicism and his hatred of evangelical Christinaity, as well as his stance on marriage, take him well outside the American mainstream, let alone make him a conservative.

So does this mean that John Kerry will have a little extra spring in his step tomorrow?

Von Bek, WHATEVER. Andrew Sullivan has drawn ire not because he endorsed Kerry but because he did so dishonestly. Instead of just saying that gay marriage is his key issues, Sullivan pretends that there are other issues that matter to him. I just don't trust him. Iraq seemed to suddenly become a mess, after Bush pushed the FMA. Notice no one is ripping into the Oxblog guys for endorsing Kerry.

I saw the FMA more as his breaking point. I am not sure if we really talked less about the managemenr of the war before the FMA, but after it blew up, he seemed unwilling to give Bush the benefit of any doubt.

Replace "we" with "he" and "managemenr" with "management" and you almost get a coherent post...

Hitchens endorsed Kerry. Let's go.

Karol, you can pick any point in time and some people suddenly realized that Iraq was a mess. I, for one, think it was probably just a coincidence that it happened for Sullivan at the same time that FMA became a Bush priority. Or maybe when Bush's willingness to sacrifice the rights of gay conservatives became too much to bear, the scales fell from his eyes on the war.
