Where's the barf alert ?
Ploys like this are just a waste of time and tax dollars and don't help the country at all. If they really wanted to pass the amendment they should make a sincere effort to pass it, otherwise they should ignore it completely.
"President Bush, for his part, has spent his last pennies of political capital trying to pass a humane policy on immigration."
I don't know about "humane", but he spent his last pennies on it all right.
"He has spent his last pennies of political capital trying to pass a humane policy on immigration. "
You know Bush is on the wrong side of an issue when the Liberal nitwits start praising it.
The 'humane' policy is amnesty, a policy that will encourage more illegal immigration and make it worse. It's a terrible idea and a terrible bill, which must be why Cynthia is attracted to it:

When you make a decision based on behavior, it's not bigotry it's discernment.
If two men want to call their relationship marriage they can, but that won't make it marriage. And perhaps we don't want to put definitions into our Constitutions, but if we can't keep judges from legislating from the bench any other way, then we'll do what we have to.
Shalom.
I'm so sick of this disingenuous accusation used by the left: that conservatives are using this as a "wedge issue" to get voters to the polls. Is it beyond this mental midget's comprehension that those who put those legislators in office did so because they shared the same values as the voters and were EXPECTED to advance such legislation!?

That helps explain why, during this election season, so few politicians have stepped forward to denounce initiatives against gay marriage as the cynical and opportunistic tactics that they are. They know that playing on prejudice and fear can rally a certain constituency and provide the winning margin in tight races.
Oh the horror of the politically irrelevant and morally delusional touting the unprecedented while being subjected to the overwhelmingly precedented historical whims of the politically relevant and morally upright.
It all seems quite normal politics to me despite the indignant enraged screams and persistent whining from the left. It is clear they scream for societal acceptance and support of homosexual sex and as such they scream for the bizarre, the unhealthy, the procreatively devoid...
In this culture war issue it is evident that the homosexual activists will not stop until stopped -the delusional goal of homosexual marriage must be quickly, soundly, and uncompromisingly defeated asap -no quarter must be given.
Stopping this madness is not a wedge issue -it is the madness itself that is the wedge issue and it would appear it is a wedge issue that will not go away until soundly dealt with. As such IT is time for this wedge issue to become a grave marker issue. The homosexual activists have been via coercion, intimidation and judicial activist rulings wedging their way into society by substituting their leftist village concept of reality for that which society chooses to and has always observed...
It is way past time to bury the delusional platitue of homosexual marriage once and for all!
Those that cry, "Protect States Rights", when it is clear that no such platitude is possible on this issue advocate a position of compromise with the morally compromised and politically irrelevant...
She is a homoappologist or a homosexual herself who push the LIE that homosexual behavior is equal to skin color.
The homoadvocats know this is a death blow for their nomalizing movement. It puts into black letter constitutional law that marriage is not about recreational sex. Homosexuality is only about recreational sex and thus would never fit into any marriage or marriage lite relationship.

This amendment needs to keep being brought up again and again and again to expose the rinos and the democrats.
There's the big lie concerning the sodomite marriage issue. GA law and federal law won't mean squat when liberal judges decide that those laws are unconstitutional. There is no way to avoid the abomination of homo marriage becoming normalized in the entire US by the judiciary without passing and ratifying a Constitutional Amendment.
I should also have mentioned this earlier, but Cindy's hero Charles Weltner actually voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 when it first passed the House early in the year. Weltner represented a district in the heart of Atlanta, which had a black majority. But most of those blacks were denied the vote by the Democrat Party bosses of the state.
When the CRA came up for House passage early in 1964, Weltner voted "no". The bill then went to the Senate where it led to one of the most prolonged filibusters in history. It passed months later, but only after a prolonged debate.
As is the case with many bills, the Senate passed CRA was slightly different than the one passed earlier in the House. So a conference committee ironed out the differences and the bill was sent back to both houses for approval.
During the many months it took the bill to get through the Senate and the conference committee, large numbers of blacks in Weltner's district managed to get registered to vote due to the activities of civil rights activists and attorneys. Weltner, who had voted against the CRA when it originally passed, switched his vote to "yes" when the final version came up for approval.
History has forgotten that Weltner voted "no" originally. Did he later vote "yes" because of moral principle, or because the blacks in his district could now vote? I guess there's no way of ever knowing. But it is interesting that everyone forgets that Weltner voted against the Civil Rights Act when only his white constituents were registered to vote. Just as they forget that Albert Gore Sr. voted against it in the U.S. Senate.
I find divorce should also be outlawed completely. I have been married for over ten years which sadly is longer than most marriages in America. If we could get rid of the gay marriage AND divorce than marriage would finally be protected. Too bad conservatives were not really conservative on this issue. Care to wager that I get blasted by many saying "Oh no way. I need divorce so I can marry younger later on or I need divorce because it is too hard to be married, etc...." This is one issue that I am serious about. I really wish they would pass a real marriage protection amendment. Do we have the courage?
Gays have their own union now? What's it called?
