I think that's true. But the Republicans hold no more moral high ground and have no more values than the Democrats. From Mark Foley to Scooter Libby and on and on the problems are there just as much as anywhere. And the Republican front runner is pro-choice, pro-gay rights and pro-gun control himself. 

I'll agree when a Republican like Mark Foley or Ted Haggart comes out of the closet it gets highlighted. But that's because the bigotry is so intense against any group that does not toe the Christian conservative line they deserve the spotlight when they get caught up in a hypocritical situation. 

As far as Iraq goes. There doesn't have to be an immediate pull out. But even if we started today, a phased redeployment would have major American forces in Iraq over 5 probably closer to 6 full years in total. That's a long time. 

Even the longest journey begins with the first step my friend. We need a Democratic President that will allow us to take that first step.
