The real issue is going to be the terrorist attack just prior to the election, and who America wants to be the President opening the next can of whupass.
You've made a good point, there are those who are very passionate against gay marriage, and there are just those who have been temporarily taken surprise by the sudden emergence of the issue, and are still uncomfortable.
I think the President has dealt with the issue sufficiently, the mushy middle does NOT want him getting in their faces about this. I agree with an editorial writer I read last week who said that in a Bush-Kerry debate, whoever says the word "gay" first, loses the debate.
Guess that's why we have to have Ralphie there! If he makes Bush and Kerry look like two peas in a pod (one on the left of the pod, and one on the right!), then he siphons liberal votes from Kerry for those who are passionately FOR gay marriage.
I have to take off now, but thanks all for a rousing debate!
Wrong again hunter. More than 40 states have made laws or amended their constitutions to defend marriage.
They have been duped by the "states rights" balogna into thinking that those laws and amendments are sufficient to keep the courts at bay.
They are in for one big surprise when SCOTUS uses equal protection to overturn their laws and constituional amendments.
And the totalitarian right who applaud judicial tyranny at every turn will once again applaud judicial tyranny.
