Gay Group Attacks McCain, Film at 11

The Democratic Party's lapdog, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), a leading LGBT federal lobbying group, is attacking John McCain and helping him secure his political base as Obama's base remains fractured and disillusioned.

The attack video released by HRC is a boring 2 minute narration of HRC's spin on John McCain's record on this particular special interest group's agenda.

But this really isn't about an issue or ideas or even a new generation.

It's about partisanship, winning and power in Washington, D.C.

Like George W. Bush, Barack Obama opposes gay marriage (but thinks that states should make the determination). A small but truthful tidbit avoided by HRC. But hey, accuracy in information is never a lobbying group's responsibility.

Now is the time for all liberal and left-leaning interest group to gather their members and tell them who they're for and who they're against.

Now is not the time for issues or philosophical concerns, let alone a new kind of politics.

Now is the time for the rank-and-file to fall in step and march.

Now is the time for Obama politics (a.k.a., the re-branded old-politics of McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, Gore and Kerry).

Oy! Wake me when its over.
