Another Kerry Dodge. TM

[GeronL]

He specifically opposed a state ban a couple of months/years ago. He warned them not to!! ??

[Veritas01]

Does John Benidict Kerry ever stick by his principals?

[longtermmemmory]

TRANSLATION: Kerry is scarred!!!!

It is a convenient position since he can't vote on the subject.

If homosexual marriages happen on May 17. Look for renewed endless videos of homosexuals kissing and prancing. Edwards OR Kerry will be toast if that happens.

Also at that point, the FMA will be pushed up a notch and have reached critical mass. Domas will start to fall "somewhere". Congress will have no choice.

I truly think Tuh-Ray-Suh wears the pants in their house. Kerry spent his time waffling and tap dancing around the issue. Tuh-Ray-Suh said Bush's proposal is divisive, now Kerry backs gay marriage.

ANAGRAM FUN

John Kerry = Horny Jerk

His 'position on any subject is laughable.

Kerry is a weathervane.

[Always Right]

Here's what I wrote yesterday, which is kind of funny now because Kerry considered today's postion bigotted.

After the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruling imposing gay marriage against the will of the people and the legislature, John Kerry told reporters on May 5, 2002, “I personally believe the court is not right…I don't support marriage. I never have. That's my position.” Yesterday, after President Bush announced his support of a Constitution Amendment banning gay marriage, Kerry reiterated that position, "I oppose gay marriage. I also oppose President Bush's attempt to amend the Constitution to ban gay marriage,"

Just exactly how does Kerry ‘oppose’ gay marriage? Kerry opposes, at least for now, amending the US Constitution. Also, Kerry was one of only 14 Senators who voted against the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in 1996, which would have banned federal recognition of gay marriage for the purpose of any federal benefits. In his opposition, Kerry went as far as calling the DOMA, "unconstitutional, unprecedented, unnecessary and mean-spirited bill," and compared the law to the 1960’s efforts in the south to criminalize interracial marriages.

Kerry has also attacked the federal efforts as an infringement on states rights. However, when Massachusetts tried to act on their own to ban gay marriage in 2002, Kerry signed a letter which stated, "We believe it would be a grave error for Massachusetts to enshrine in our Constitution a provision which would have such a negative effect on so many of our fellow residents."

So, Kerry is on record as believing a ban on gay marriage is not only bigoted and hateful, but is also 'unconstitutional' on the federal level and a ‘grave error’ on the state level. Just how exactly does Kerry oppose gay marriage, and which reported will be brave enough to ask the tough questions?

[mewzilla]

They why did Kerry vote against the Defense of Marriage Act? You can bet he won't be asked at the CNN debate tonight...

[Huck]

John F. Kerry

LOL!

[kabar]

In his most explicit remarks on the subject yet, Kerry told the Globe that he would support a proposed amendment to the state Constitution that would prohibit gay marrriage so long as, while outlawing gay marriage, it also ensured that same-sex couples have access to all legal rights that married couples receive.

"Gay unions with access to all legal rights?" More word games. Kerry is again on both sides of the issue. The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) states that,

"In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the word 'marriage' means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word 'spouse' refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife."

The reason for this clause is that the Federal government needs to have a definition of marriage in order to administer social security, federal pension plans, and survivors benefits just to name a few. The DOMA currently defines marriage and spouse, but without a Constitutional amendment, the courts can declare DOMA unconstitutional. The Federal government cannot avoid this issue and hide its head in the sand.

Kerry voted against DOMA and Edwards said he would have also if he had been in the Senate at the time. I wish someone would ask Kerry and Edwards what definition of marriage the Federal government should use to administer its programs. It would be very difficult for them to wiggle off of that hook.

Kerry is a ho!

[inquest]

This is actually good news, despite his obvious insincerity. This will marginalize the homophile crowd and make it all the more likely that Mass. will approve its DOMA amendment, thus saving us the need to worry about amending the U.S. Constitution, which is not something we want to be doing unless absolutely necessary anyway.

[King Black Robe]

So he will ban gay marriage as long as he can mandate gay unions? Semantics.

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

Ping me if you want on or off this ping list!

Kerry is dodging and twirling, apparently.

Fool.

When a person has no strong inner convictions of right and wrong, and tries to stand up for same, he winds up like - Kerry. To have self-interest as one's guiding light leaves one open to the breeze of shifting public opinion. Such people become shameful and despicable.
