I'm so late to this thread but see it since its been bumped. Lol
I completely agree with where you're coming from. They're pandering.
For instance I'm a woman, Christian, conservative, white, southerner and whatever little label I can be stuck with. But I try to tell the difference between politicians truly trying to stick up for me vs. those who are just trying to appease my interests.
For instance I'm a devout Christian and my faith is so sacred and precious to me but I resent the heck out of politicians exploiting it to get a vote.
So I see what you're saying.

My thoughts -
- I'm all for legalized gay marriage so this might help in that area.
- This will alienate evangelical black voters away from the democrat party.
- The ranks of 'independent' will grow. I think more people out there follow their own thoughts on issues and don't follow 'Party Platform' anymore.

While I believe that to be true, I still find it absurd that black voters would move away from a democrat party because of it's move towards more equal social standards, when the black americans birthed the whole civil rights movement, and I do believe this is about civil rights.
Anyways, good luck with your thread, we both know where it's going.
