LANSING, Mich. - Some Michigan voters have received phone calls falsely claiming that Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) would make gay marriage legal, Kerry's Michigan campaign said Monday.
Both Kerry and his running mate, Sen. John Edwards (news - web sites) of North Carolina, oppose gay marriage and say marriage should be limited to a man and a woman. Kerry has said he supports civil unions.
In a recording of a phone call played for The Associated Press, a young woman says: "When you vote this Tuesday remember to legalize gay marriage by supporting John Kerry. We need John Kerry in order to make gay marriage legal for our city. Gay marriage is a right we all want. It's a basic Democrat principle. It's time to move forward and be progressive. Without John Kerry, George Bush (news - web sites) will stop gay marriage. That's why we need Kerry. So Tuesday, stand up for gay marriage by supporting John Kerry."

Misleading calls???? John Kerry has a perfect gay agenda voting record. He called the defense of marriage act similar to Jim Crow laws. He wrote a letter to the legislature of Massachusets urging them not to ban gay marriage. The fact is, it is Kerry and Edwards who are misleading people by lying about their position on the gay marriage. The only misleading part of the call would be that the Democrats aren't actually saying this publicly but they know it is true privately.

Kerry won't have to make gay marriage legal - he'll just appoint a judge who will do it for him. That way he can have it both ways.

It's not misleading to say that Kerry will make gay marriage legal. If Kerry is elected, IT WILL HAPPEN. SOMEHOW.

Some Michigan voters have received phone calls falsely claiming that Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) would make gay marriage legal, Kerry's Michigan campaign said Monday. That ain't misleading. Kerry was for gay marriage before he was against it. He'll flip back again if (God forbid) he gets elected.

Yep. The calls are truthful and it's Kerry who is misleading voters. Besides, civil unions are a distinction without a difference.

There's no such thing as a misleading call if it talks about Kerry and the issues. He's on every side of every issue, except one. He will raise your taxes. :-)

Of course we all know it will be judges writing these laws, unless of course we stop them, what's it gonna be?

Exactly. He's already stated he won't let his personal faith interfere with other people doing whatever they want, regardless of the consequences and ignoring his own use of the scripture "faith without works is dead."

Kerry voted against DOMA. So how is it misleading?
To: Always Right
If these calls went to a selected group of gay-friendly voters, it would be a Donk dirty trick...
If these calls went to the general population, it would be a 'Pubbie dirty trick...

Good! This issue is going to be a loser in Michigan.

Proposal 2 would put a ban on gay marriage, already illegal in Michigan, in the state's constitution. Sixty-one percent were in favor, 31 percent were against and 8 percent were undecided.

"Would you vote for McCain if you knew he had an illegitimate black child?" You seem to be implying a parity with the South Carolina supposed push polls...is that what you meant?
