BOSTON, July 14 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Senator John Kerry released the following statement today:
"The floor of the United States Senate should only be used for the common good, not issues designed to divide us for political purposes. Throughout history, amending our Constitution -- the foundation of the nation's values and ideals -- has been serious business. However, even Republicans concede that this amendment is being offered only for political gains. The unfortunate result is that the important work of the American people -- funding our homeland security needs, creating new and better jobs, and raising the minimum wage -- is not getting done. Had this amendment reached a final vote, I would have voted against it, because I believe that the American people deserve better than this from their leaders. When I am president, I will work to bring the nation together and build a stronger America."
Hey F'ing kerry, you haven't spent enough time there lately. How the heck would you know what is going on?
When I am president, I will work to bring the nation together and build a stronger America."
In your F'ing dreams.
John-John weren't even present to vote for this. They shouldn't be allowed to even comment upon it.
And NOT until!
He will bring us together how? By making judges boss us around?
they will not,why I do not understand
Exactly!
Must have missed the recess bell.

This is a frank admission by the leader of the RAT Party that gay marriage is a losing issue for them.
The political implications of that are huge.
On the contrary. They were the ONLY two who did not vote on it. They should be made to tell exactly why they DID NOT VOTE if this was so important to them.
He's proud of his daughters but didn't he make them illegitimate children when he annulled his first marriage?
Sheesh! If I hear that one more time I'm going to throw up!

That's the unltimate Dem cop-out on this issue...saying "We shouldn't be messing with the Constitution." It's their way of candy-coating it and attempting to pass it off as something "shocking", as if to say, "How DARE those Republicans attempt to touch the Constitution!"
Pisses me right off.
It comes from a same sex parents website. I don't really care to post the article (and didn't have a good thread for it). Since this thread seems to have gone a little lighter in tone, I'll air it here.
"Rosie Blasts Bush On Eve Of Anti-Gay Marriage Vote" brings up an uncomfortable (painful?) image of using a Black & Decker sander as an epilady more than it does any reference to our current President...
They won't because they are risk averse and scared. They think if they make zero mistakes from now on they may hold on and win. It's a cowardly strategy and a similar one almost lost the election for them in 2000 against a dopey Al Gore.
They need to act as if they have already lost and have nothing more to lose. Shake some things up and start launching hail mary's.
"It's time for the Bush team and RNC to not just release a typical soft response but blast them with specific details on their truancy, ask for their resignation from the Senate, and use terms like unqualified, incompetent and irrational."
This is already happening. Check out the Bush Campaign TV Ad entitled: "Priorities" Check it out.
"While campaigning John Kerry has missed 2/3 of all votes."
"Worst Attendance Record in the U.S. Senate"
"Missed a vote to lower health care costs by reducing frivolous law suits against doctors."
"Missed a vote to fund our troops in combat."
"Yet, Kerry found time to vote against the Laci Peterson Law, that protects Pregnant women from violence."
"Kerry has his priorities. Are they yours?"
***
Not bad, eh? All they need to do is release an updated version of this in which they include Kerry AND Edwards failure to be present to vote to protect marriage. I expect it'll be out in a bout a week.
Log Cabin 'Republicans' & friends are happy....
Eeeeeew!
OK, that's all I wanted to say....
