the gay rights debate, that if you're a politician is getting to be the side you don't much want to be on. but the rest of his party may be about to evolve around him. this weekend a respected republican pollster, one who helped president george w. bush win re-election, wrote a memo basically saying, guys, i've got a lot of polling here, and the gay marriage thing is setting kind of popular. and he suggested that republicans might want to change the way they talk about stuff like gay marriage. maybe start saying that support for gay marriage is consistent with, quote, conservative fundamentals. as people who promote personal responsibility, family values, commitment, and stability and emphasize freedom and limited government, we have to recognize that freedom means freedom for everyone. this includes the freedom to decide how you live and to enter into relationships of your choosing. the freedom to live without excessive interference of the regulatory force of the government.
