Democrats have launched a masterful strategy for the 2012 election season that Republicans are falling flat on their face over. Every week there seems to be a new announcement from Democrats which starts a discussion about social issues. And every time Republicans pounce on the issue and suddenly we have idiotic journalists asking questions at debates about contraception. Meanwhile, the economy, which is the question we should be addressing, get shoved on the back burner. Democrats paint Republicans as fascist religious nuts who want to yank the condom of your penis mid-coitus and hang gay people in the streets. Democrats use the issues to frighten everyone because they can't run on their record or their actual ideas.
In truth, this is what Democrats have been doing for years and they do it well. If you argue with them that a policy is bad they won't defend the policy, they will tell you a Republican did the same thing, as if two wrongs makes a right. I'm surprised they haven't simply started bringing grenades to debates so that when someone challenges them they can just throw one in the crowd to distract the audience. I'd probably do the same if my positions defied logic and reason.
