Sometimes pandering to present-company gets you in trouble...

Democratic chairman Howard Dean mischaracterized his party's platform on gay rights in an interview courting evangelicals, then set the record straight Thursday when an advocacy group called him on it.

Dean told Christian Broadcasting Network News that the 2004 Democratic platform declares "marriage is between a man and a woman" - just one of the points he made in reaching out to religious conservatives who are largely hostile to the party.

But the platform does not define marriage that way, and his remarks prompted the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force to return a $5,000 donation from the Democratic National Committee.

Dean represents that most sad and pathetic element of the Democrat Party. After 2004, they told us they were the party of moral values.. Now, Dean was trying to convince religious conservatives that Democrats believe marriage is between a man and a woman? This is the same Dean who declared himself a metrosexual and made civil unions legal in Vermont.

Amazing isn't it? Democrats have to pretend to be Republicans in order to get votes...
