Every issue is a moral issue
CNN's Jack Cafferty has advice for the GOP: Park your morality at the door.
On June 14, Mr. Cafferty expressed surprise that, in the previous night's presidential debate, "social issues -- like abortion, gay marriage, 'don't ask, don't tell' -- still manage to work their way into the conversation.
