"I just believe, frankly, in the sanctity and unique status of marriage between man and woman. That's what I believe. And that's what I support. And that's what I will fight for."

Well at least he’s taking a conservative stance on something.
Judges, Foreign Policy, Right to Life, Marriage, Guns and Spending are important enough reasons why to vote for McCain.
John McCain vows “fight” against gay marriage [video]
“Color-me-suprised” Bump
Homosexual marriage is about the government forcing people to live AGAINST their consciences! It is a matter of taking away the rights of the majority of people, to secure a privilege for a small minority of people, who can secure that their partnership by other means.
It is a matter of destroying the right of religions——not just Christianity by the way-—to teach morality in the way they see fit-—the right of freedom of speech, for people to speak out on issues they hold dear to their hearts-—and Parental rights-—the right to raise your children as you see fit.
It is a matter of taking away the freedom of Americans to think, feel and define their own morality, and define their own communities, their own government. ON the grounds that the GOVERNMENT will now define the doctrines and precepts of religious organizations. Homosexual marriage gives the government the right to intrude their powers in the area of anciently held and practiced religious doctrines—and to restrain these doctrines, destroys all religious liberty!
This is a month old but since the jackass stuck his foot in his mouth (again) someone felt the need to post a diversionary thread.
Yes. McCain even with his faults has a solid backbone of conservatism and it isn’t something that has changed whenever convenient. He has stuck his finger into the eye of conservatives on occasion but his history show he doesn’t just do that to conservatives and I doubt that any other Republican candidate would’ve been so candid sitting on the tv show of a lesbian when he confirmed support for marriage between a man and a women yet again.
What did he say now?
ROFL
Take a look at some of the flip-flops by audience since the beginning of the primary season.
And if we don't get this, marriage is going to be re-defined, one liberal state judge and federal judge at a time, until it's the exact opposite of that.
And as terrible McCain is on some issues, Obama is even terriblier.
ROFL
The logic of Republican partisans never ceases to amaze even the jaded.
Amen. Absolutely right.
Defining marriage in the constitution won’t stop them. They will just go the civil union route and do all they can to make the idea of marriage weak as mush. The sexual rights community has already had a weakening effect on normal sexual relationships as they apply to marriage. When ego and base desires drive what is defined as love and commitment then the whole concept of lifelong marriage becomes tenuous and weak.
There are many conservatives who believe the states should make the final decision. My opinion is that any amendment should be more tuned towards defining what isn’t heterosexual monogamous sex as obscenity and include within that definition a ban on the federal government using public funds in any way to encourage or spread obscenity. I believe in the big bang approach. The perverts and kooks have only survived by their ability to distort the first amendment and the judges have only managed to avoid doing their duties by pretending to not know what obscenity is.
Juan McLame is the same idiot liberal RINO who went on Ellen Degenerate’s program. I don’t trust anything he says or anyone who supports him for president. I would rather vote third party or write in a true conservative and vote for the othe pubbies in other races.McPain should have switched to the RAT party when he had the chance a few years ago.
So, I take it you are a conservative either voting for Obama; or doing a write in.
Yes, but ask him about “civil unions.”
Speaking of the devil: FO is back. She's running under a male moniker this time round.
