"He has taken an issue that tugs at the heartstrings of many Americans and has turned it into a political ploy"

I'd be interested to read your criticism of Republicans in 2004 when they got this heartstring-tugging issue on ballots in 11 states during the presidential election in order to drive conservatives to the polls. Maybe you could repost it?
