I'll try to say it a different way: No, Democrats should not start gay-bashing. The Democratic Party, on a national level, needs to stop ignoring rural America and work a little harder at winning the hearts and minds of rural voters. It seems like it's quite a simple concept. I don't know why you can't understand. Okay, I really do apologize for failing to make myself clear. I'll try to say it a different way: No, Democrats should not start gay-bashing.

It is precisely that kind of attitude that's the root cause of the problem. You're awfully quick to blame the voters. If you blame voters for the way they vote, you'll never advance your cause.

Democrats have chronically failed to recognize the concerns of rural America, and paid no attention to crafting their message to move rural America to their side. Shucks!
