Torture AFA.

The American Family Association is running a meaningless online poll on attitudes about gay marriage which, they say, they'll be sending to Congress. Presumably, they thought selection bias (who goes to the AFA website, after all?) would yield a huge margin against gay marriage. Except, so far, it's not quite working out. I'm dying to see them forced to send a "petition" to Congress showing upwards of 60 percent support for gay marriage, with another 8 to 10 favoring at least civil unions. That, or watching them try to weasel out of doing so. Have fun. (Hat tip: Amy Phillips.)

[Hit & Run]

I put in my vote! It's too bad this poll doesn't have a space for comments--the poll questions refer to "legalizing" gay marriage, and I'd like to point out in my vote that the issue is really about the government dictating that some people may not get married.

presenting our cases.

Anybody who's interested in presenting the case for their candidate as the one who best represents Muslim interests and who most deserves the Muslim bloc vote can post it in the comments on this entry, or post a link to what they've written elsewhere. In order to save space on the front page, I've put my case for Kucinich in the extended entry field so follow the "there's more" link to read it. Oh, and I included a section on electability since that was in my original write-up.

The rules for the debate are here. Please follow these guidelines in presenting your case. Thanks.

Note for Aziz: it's not really that difficult to find it on the Muslims for Kucinich site. Look for the area that says "read this first" and then the link titled "The Case for Kucinich". That wasn't so hard, was it?

[Al-Muhajabah's Islamic Blogs]

I note that the rules for the "debate" specify that only Democratic primary candidates may be considered. Isn't that convenient. Are we really to believe that every Muslim in America is a socialist? Could there perhaps be Muslims who would prefer someone like Pat Buchanan, with his social conservatism and non-interventionist foreign policy? Maybe there are even Muslims who favor the non-agression principle?
