the marriage issue is a litmust test the same way the second amendment is a litmus test.

It is an indicator of attitude on multiple issues.

If we can not trust Thompson on this simple legal fact, then we can not trust him on other issues.

It is also akin to immigration as a litmus test on border security.

What is it with you? You don’t get to decide litmus tests for everyone else.

please explain how a gay-marriage amendment is a FEDERAL legal issue, and should not rest with the states.

you people seem to want limited federal gov't unless it's about your deep-seeded religious beliefs. then you want all sorts of federal laws.

i understand the judeo-christian values upon which this country was founded, but this is getting a little ridiulous. practice your religion and let others practice theirs.

this issue isn't about the church anyway! it's about the federal gov't recognizing or not recognizing gay marriage. i guess i just don't understand. maybe because no one can explain it in a cohesive manner.
