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.
First post here, you guys...Please be nice to me!
President Bush said: "States ought to be able to have the right to pass laws that enable people to be able to have rights like others..." "I don't think we should deny people rights to a civil union, a legal arrangement, if that's what a state chooses to do so," Bush said in an interview aired Tuesday on ABC. Bush acknowledged that his position put him at odds with the Republican platform, which opposes civil unions.

"...if that's what a state chooses to do so..."
This is the part of his statement that they'll all gloss over. I mean, if we end up having this forced down our throats, then at least the individual states can fight against this on their own turf, bringing the actual decision closer to the people, and I'm sure it'll be an uphill battle from there. When you take it to the people, the people start to pay attention.
Yep. That Bush. What a dummy. *Wink*
