Sarah Palin and the Clarence Thomas Factor

By Mary E. Hunt

…r gender is important insofar as it generates votes despite their economic policies that ignore the well-being of working women and their children. It is hard enough when religiously and politically conservative candidates are men, but when women are in the fray the lines get blurred, the words start to have an Alice in Wonderland quality, and voters get confused.

By Eric Reitan

…—it is my devotion to this savior that motivates my commitment to fighting policies that marginalize gays and lesbians, that exclude them from participation in what is arguably the most important social institution, leaving them like the pauper who can only watch the feasting at the table and hope for some crumbs.

By Sarah Sentilles

…to control them. Dangerous, oblivious, insensitive disregard for how your policies impact others sounds like a perfectly plausible definition of hate, and those who “don’t particularly care that their policy decisions can impact what control a woman does or doesn’t have over her own body” sure sound like people who seek to control women.

Similarly, the Orthodox Jews of Lakewood must have the right to make their own policies (or in this case, religious laws) towards homosexuality, and all religious leaders must be per…

By Peter Montgomery

…ngelicals and religious conservatives don’t agree with right-wing economic policies, but those concerns are trumped by social issues which they are more likely to see in religious terms. Columnist E.J. Dionne, co-author of a report on the survey, noted that this finding demonstrates the bind facing Republicans who want to broaden the party’s electoral coalition.
