Gays take over scapegoat duties from Nader
Satire
This election season even the mathematically challenged could hardly fail to notice that Ralph Nader's 400,000 would not have given John Kerry a victory on November 2. Fortunately, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial court and San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsome were able to offer up homosexuals as this year's Democratic electoral scapegoat.
"If it weren't for gay marriage ballot referendums then evangelicals would have just stayed home and beat their wives," said Democratic policy analyst Hutch Mickenson. "Instead the gay marriage issue brought them out in droves."
In the months leading up to the election, Democrats did attempt to distance themselves from the gay marriage issue by refusing to allow Cher, in particular the song "Believe" to be played at campaign rallies. "We hoped that refusing to allow songs by such artists as Cher, the Village People, or Judy Garland would send a message that we don't agree with gay marriage," said DNC chair Terry McAuliffe. "I guess it's up to our Democratic legislators to help the president get a Constitutional Ban on Gay Marriage passed."
"This is such an honor to once again be a scapegoat," said Mira Mulhern who married her partner, Beth Dalton at a private ceremony in June. "It's good to see that we can help Democrats and Republicans unite against the same cause."
Ralph Nader is hoping that a recount will show that his campaign, not the gay marriage backlash, is the reason the Democrats imploded at the polls once again.
