So he took part in it before not taking part, right? Or was it with his voting?
It's not an issue with Kerry. He's in a "no sex" marriage after all.
This is yet another thing that Bush did not bust Kerry strong enough on during the debates.
Kerry says he supports states rights, yet he voted against states rights along with just a handful of Senators, and against even the majority of Dem Senators. This underscores how far out of the mainstream he is.
Kerry says he voted against it because it was 'mean-spirited' and 'unconstitutional,' which basically means that he considered the position he claims to hold now back then as being mean-spirited and unconstituional. In other words,he tipped his hand; he revealed back then that he fully expects the judiciary to at a miniumum rule that states must accept gay marriage from another state.
Some ads should really be run on this topic.
John Kerry may say that he believes that marriage should only be between a man and a woman, but his vote on HR 3396, shows that he won't defend states that have banned gay marriage(or will ban gay marriage this year),from having to recoginize gay marriages performed in other states.

When John Kerry says that he thinks that the issue of gay marriage should be left up to the states, his vote on HR 3396 shows that to only be a smoke-screen.
John Kerry, as well, does not support a Constitutional Amendment defining marriage as being only between one man and one woman.
If you live in a state that has already banned gay marriage, or live in a state that most likely will ban gay marriage this year at the polls(there are about 10 states that will vote on this this election cycle) DO NOT vote for Kerry if you want someone in the White House that will defend traditional marriage.
If you want to defend traditional marriage, vote for Bush.
It's as simple as that.
Please call your local radio stations that have hosts who allow callers to express their views. Inform America about how Kerry has voted concerning defending traditional marriage in the states that have banned/will ban gay marriage.
Please post all over the internet Kerry's vote on NOT defending states that have banned gay marriage.
Thanks.
Let me get this straight (no pun intended). First, militant gay groups shop for a liberal 'Rat judge, and get her to impose a gay "right" to marry on an unwilling public. Then, when they encounter opposition, these same militant gays and their allies accuse conservatives of conjuring up gay marriage as an issue just to inflame the public and win votes for Bush. Now, wouldn't gay marriage have never been an issue if it hadn't been created out of thin air in the first place? Or am I missing something?
Political correctness is SO confusing!
Hey, thanks for spamming all the state topics.</sarcasm>
Care for some marmalade on your Kerry, er, I mean, your toast?
