I also oppose civil unions. To me it makes no sense to oppose gay marriage yet support civil unions. That is a position that seeks to preserve the word ‘marriage’ and nothing else. Not that the word has no meaning, of course it does because the Left wants it so bad. They already had gay marriage in all but name in California, but they want the word ‘marriage’ because it would represent a total triumph on their part.
I didn’t mean to suggest that Cheney is neutral. I’m sure he’d stab conservatives in the back on this issue given the chance. My point was about how the line of questioning on this issue is too limited. One should not be allowed to simply say that they oppose or support gay marriage/civil unions; they should be asked who they think should decide the issue, the people or the judges. If they support gay marriage, they should be asked if they think it is a Constitutional right that should be imposed on an unwilling nation.
But we never get answers to questions like that because the questions are never asked. Even Republicans seldom bring this up.
I agree with you there.
You know in 2008 I saw McCain on ‘The View’ and he was asked about abortion and he replied “Original intent of constitution’ or maybe ‘strict constructionist’ (McCain is a huge phony anyway BTW.)
Whoopie told him that it meant 'going back to slavery' and McCain replies “I disagree’. That is all he could say? Anyone that knows anything about the constitution knows that's not true. Not President McCain was clueless like most of them LOL
