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.

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.

Yep. back in the mid-90's, most of them. Back when Bill Clinton was willing to sign the DOMA. Back when my US Senator, Patty Murray was willing to put on her kneepads to help Bubba get re-elected. I see Peppermint Patty (or Osama Mama, as she is also known), voted against the FMA today. There are different political realities today, in the "Will and Grace" era.

Yes, it's certainly possible. A good reason to get your union labor friends who usually vote Rat to vote Republican this year. This war will ultimately go to the liberals, but we may as well win a few battles along the way. The gay marriage genie is out of the bottle, and will not be put back. Best to exploit some temporary fear among the mushy middle, and keep Kerry and his friends out of office.
