Though more GOP members are declaring that their party should not be against gays and gay marriage, as I've noted before they are not yet our friends.
It's nice to hear Steve Schmidt, who was McCain's 2008 campaign chief give the conservative case for gays: "And more conservatives are making the case that no more do you want big government conservatives in the bedroom than big government liberals telling you how to live your life."
But there are two big problems hidden by statements like that:
1. They aren't being said by politicians actually running for office this fall. And they're not being said because the GOP base wouldn't vote for them.
2. Even those who do say nice things about gays are still donating money to help elect candidates who not only say but believe nasty things about gays.
The second problem is the same one that plagues the Dems. Even gays are willing to donate money to candidates who work against their rights.
