I thought only Republicans did wedge issues?

As I am sure you have read in the paper and elsewhere Libs are screaming "Republicans, Don't push any social issues!" or "Republicans will push wedge issues now that they are in control"

Why are they wedge issues now? Is this a social wedge issue?

Where are or where were the editorial pages on Obamas pledge to NARAL or GLADD to do by executive order what he could no pass otherwise? Moves, positions and pledges to overturn such things as Obamas opposition to the Hyde Amendment, the defence of marriage act, the Mexico City Policy (against federal funding of abortion abroad), limits to state and federal funding of abortion, parental consent and notification laws, conscience protections, and the funding of alternatives to embryo-destructive research. They ask us to look past his support for Roe v. Wade, the Freedom of Choice Act, partial-birth abortion, and human cloning and embryo-killing.

What, they are not social wedge issues when the other side pushes their agenda? Will they be silent as Tennessee Republicans push SJR127 for neutrality in our state constitution on abortion? or will the headline be....

"Republicans continue to push radical social agenda"?

I think you can imagine what it will be. If we are going to be the only side painted with the "Radical" brush, even when we only want neutrality, you have to wonder why we should hold back on the harder issues. We are going to be painted as radicals no matter what.

In for a penny, in for a pound.
