And to spend more time excoriating them for past stances over current ones isn't productive. It is unrealistic to expect politicians to not act in a politically expedient manner.

Schumer and Gillibrand are earning my support, and I may put my $$$$ where my mouth is if they help repeal DOMA. If Democratic pols want our support, they need to earn it by making good on the promises they make to us. @Dan: Absolutely!

Call it a "flip-flop" or call it an "evolution", but I can't see why we can't call it PROGRESS!

It would be great if things changed on their own, but more often than not, we're the ones who change them. Flip-flop or not, it's great news. Let's be smart and reward people who support our rights.
