Let's see... he is a Christian, a Southern Bapist at that. Must be a Republican. He has spoken out against homosexuality. Must be a Republican.

Those stereotypes say an awful lot about the people that perpetuate them. Nowhere do I see any reference to his political party affiliation. The clear inference from those within the Demcratic Party that support these stereotypes is that they feel there is no room in their party for anyone that holds those values. "We certainly don't hold them, so anybody that does must not be one of us" seems to be the attitude they present. Incredible for a "liberal" party that prides itself on inclusiveness.
