Dan Onorato’s Handling of Domestic Partner Benefits Another Example of Leadership
If Hoeffel has any real plans for how his lofty (albiet important) liberal social agenda will be made into concrete change if he were governor, he isn’t sharing them. Onorato on the other hand is willing to use government and the governing process to devise and implement plans that will best meet the needs of our state. Real plans, real leadership, for real growth for Pennsylvania.

NOM Strategist: Crazy Stuff About a Documentary Film
The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) is really not that at all. They would be more accurate, if they renamed themselves, the National Organization against GLBT folks, but NOAGLBTF is much harder to get out of your mouth quickly.
When in Doubt, Blame Onorato!
You have such an amazing voice to your blog that is so powerful and important, except when it is connected to a personal vendetta.
Hoeffel, Onorato, and Wagner: Same-Sex Marriage
agner points out (to the far right readers of the questionnaire) that he voted for the states DOMA. It is like he is saying, “I might be a democrat, but I’ve been on your side against gay marriage.” Wagner is not the only democrat who is not fully supportive of same-sex marriage, but he is the only one who wanted to highlight his connection to the far right so vividly.
