why are democrats inconsistant on issues like gay rights and underage sex ?

Answer 1

Its a case of "do as I say, not as I do". The Democrats typically hold others to standards they don't adhere to themselves.

Considering their long standing acceptance, and in the cases of Mel Reynolds and Gerry Studds, praise for having sex with minors, they were just jealous that a Republican horned in on their action.

Answer 2

Are you saying the Democratic Party line is inconsistent or that not all Democrats agree?

I think you're asking the second because, I'm not sure how gay rights and underage sex relate to one another.

The democrats are inconsistent because because they are really a coalition party. Staunch environmentalists, Gay Rights Activists, Abortion Rights Activists, minority groups each may have their strong opposition to the Republican Party and therefore cannot join it. But since each of these groups has other beliefs which may not be aligned, they have inconsistencies on other issues.

For example, some minority groups may oppose gay rights due to religious or cultural reasons.

Answer 3

the big problem is that the democratic party has not been able to get its self together enough to set an agenda that makes any sense.

Look how they made such a mess of the last election. They could have won that one if they had stopped fighting amongst themselves.

They might be able to pull off the next election but not because they have anything much to offer but because they have caused so much hate for Bush that they probably will win by default. What choice would you have. Just don't run Hillery or they will loose again.

Answer 4

They are the same on all issues sit on the fence and jump the way the majority appear to be going...as for gay right and underage sex so many already indulge in one or both they are scared to be publicly associated with either...

Answer 5

I don't think they are I think the Repulicans are more inconsistant and one way today and one way tomorrow. What ever issue is hot they are on it but nothing ever gets done. Where is the Social Security reform. where is the WAR is over as of May, 1st, where is the drug reform for senoirs, where is the rebuilding of the Gulf states, and now the latest, which will die sooner or later is the the government is goign to make all the schools safe.

Answer 6

Because the Democrats are blown around by every subject in society instead of taking a stand for a certain principal. They lean in every direction society leans. They have no moral principle, besides, how can politicians be consistent on underage sex if our politicians participate in underage sex themselves.

Answer 7

Because that's the Democratic way. Each person directs their own life and is allowed their own point of view. This is in direct opposition to conservative thinking where control of the masses is the aim. In conservative philosophy every member of the party must be instep. There can be no individual thinking, only group think.

Answer 8

FIRST - DEMOCRATS ARE INCONSISTENT ON EVERY ISSUE...

They set policy on POLLS, so when a poll tells them to feel a different way they just do it.

Hey guys - I think today's poll says you have to be against gay marriage in order to get the Independent vote...

Answer 9

The Democrat Party was taken over by perverts back in the 60's.
It was a very sad thing.

Answer 10

I guess the Family Values Ole Dubya was pounding the podium with didn't have all the definitions complete. Look for the GOP to shore up their platform with Man-boy marriages.
