All but one of the Senate Democrats - the exception is Ben Nelson of Nebraska - oppose the measure and, with moderate Republicans, are expected to block an up-or-down vote, killing the measure for the year. Democrats say the amendment is a divisive bow to religious conservatives, and point out that it conflicts with the GOP's opposition to big government interference.

"A vote for this amendment is a vote for bigotry pure and simple," said Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts, where the state Supreme Court legalized gay marriages in 2003.

We need to tell our uninformed church friends that it is the Dems who do not want to protect us from gay marriage. It is the Dems who are pandering to one of tehir very small interest groups, the gays.

IDIOTS.

Of the arguments against this Amendment the claim that refusing to redefine Marriage away from the 1 woman 1 man definition it has had for millenia in western civ, this one about "Big Government" is lamest looney liberal lie ever.

Consider: We spend $2,500,000,000,000 dollars a year, just at the Federal level.

The cost of NOT redefining marriage to suit the gay activists: ZERO.

If anything, this saves Government money, the money spent on gar marriage.

As for 'interference', it doesn't get in anybody's way. It just means certain cant call themselves married.
