The issue is a non-issue,
First, because it is manifestly insincere, ever since the Administration cozied up to the Lincoln Cabin group and he adopted Xlinton's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" military policy. And catered to the extremist feminazis in Congress to continue Xlinton's time-table for pushing ahead with women at ground combat positions.
If he wanted to prove sincerity, All he needs to do is simply, publically ditch the above groups agendas and influence, and say that the President hereby issues the following Executive Order:
The IRS and SSA will not recognize any Gay Marriage for tax purposes or benefits, or any other, that any State which purports to adopt same, will not be honored.
He won't do that. "Wouldn't be prudent." But if he did, then based on sticking his scrawny neck out, the voters would have something to actually hang their hat on, and demand of their Congressmen in litmus-test fashion, and oust those who are for accommodating the destruction of traditional marriage.
Second, there are many, many other issues which have finally pegged the meter. Border Security. Amnesty. Port Security. Economic debilitation of the U.S. industrial base. Squandry of the Federal Budget. Constitutional recklessness. Catering relentlessly only to Big Business...ignoring and indeed attacking Small Business. Refusal to admit the inflation they have wreaked. [Inflation FOR THE VOTER, unlike the Feds monetarist delusion, is not wage inflation, it is the price of goods and services]. Refusal to admit the disaster the trade deficit he has incurred poses the nation. Refusal to recapitalize the military infrastructure after 6 long years opportunity to do so. Refusal to deploy a serious, robust NMD, instead playing games with it, only deploying one barely able to counter a North Korean attack alone.
This RINO who snuck in under false pretenses is political road-kill.
We need to make absolutely sure, come heck or high water, that he has ZERO influence in the next round of Republican presidential nominations. Therefore, anybody he supports...or is obviously playing a close game of patsy with such as John McCain...needs to be immediately turned into Road Kill.
I'm finally back...
Your #111 is wonderful, too! That Karl Rove is an expletive deleted. We have been had.
Paul, I believe that GWB did say a year or so ago that the IRS would NOT honor any gay marriages. But he didn't say it very forcefully or very often. I suspect that he hated to sound "divisive." Some think the mere fact that gay marriage is being discussed and very likely to happen in B.C. words, "sooner, rather than later," means the fate of the USA is sealed to doom.
Why do RINOs care if the paleocons go? Using false pretenses, they snuck into the Republican party and took it over. Well, now they have it.
