That's the catch. You can change any horse but they will A-L-W-A-Y-S find an excuse not to make it happen. We were told that if we had ALL 3 branches of government we would see a conservative agenda. FALSE! But put a liberal 3 branch in place & all he!! liberalism flourishes. How does that happen??? You all are being duped by the elites that control 90% plus of these bastards & they will never allow a conservative agenda to get traction. Guaranteed
The issue is the remedy-- this amendment. People aren't convinced it's the right remedy. Even Kerry opposes gay marriage, he just opposes amending the Constitution when it's not obvious that such a thing is absolutely necessary.
As if the leadership will allow that.
We couldn't even knock out Specter without the powers that be getting involved and stopping us.
Oh, yeah. Now wacko judges can keep interpreting it however they want. Great news.
Agreed!! I will be finding out WHO voted against it and I believe we can expect a uproar of anger towards those senators!! SPLINELESS WONDERS they are!!!!!
"The Republicans can't even win on an issue that 75%-80% of the public agrees on."
I don't think that's fair to the GOP. It's nowhere near 75-80% in the polls...
Senators who wanted the matter left to the states?
No, good news for our black robed rulers.
Oh, go whine and cry elsewhere. I see constant dissension on this forum. The only folks who get banned are the rulebreakers. And I've seen nothing in the rules resembling what you claim.
If it did exist, you'd already be banned and your post erased.
1. Pass this amendment (or one very similar to it)
2. Accept homogamy
There are no other options. The courts will decide if there is no amendment. Anyone who opposes this amendment supports homosexual "marriage."
btt
So go get a new party. Be sure to write now and then so we know you're still doing okay.
Garbage. That was just cover to play in the mushy middle. The homosexuals are winning the day and the family is under attack.
Why don't you go elsewhere? I was here first. By four days. :-)
Kerry does not oppose gay marriage. He just opposes being unpopular on the issue. He didn't even vote for the DOMA. He wants gays to have marriage by another name -- even full federal recognition.
I had expected it would be worse. We are in better shape than thought. Its NOT over. This is simply Round #1 of a very long fight.
No, we just need a new Majority Leader. "Limp Wrist" Frist just 'aint cutting it. Everything was going swell until he allowed debate on the "watered-down" version simultaneously, which led the Dems to change strategy, and alter the focus. Idiot.
Homogamy? I like that as a term for it. Up to this point I've been calling it matrihomony!
