I'd vote for Al Sharpton if he could convince these "dads" to marry the assorted cows they impregnate.

What good would that do? I never cease to be amazed at "conservatives'" belief in the supernatural powers of a government-issued marriage license. These "dads" would behave exactly the same way they do now, after having such a license bestowed on them. Just as civilized fathers who live with and help raise and support their children would keep right on doing so if the government stopping issuing/recognizing these licenses, and/or began issuing them to any and every assortment of two or more adults who plunked down the license fee.

Gee, let's see. If they were married, there would be consequences involved if they got a divorce. That's one of the side effects of the "supernatural" powers of marriage. I'm sure you've heard of a few examples.

I'll have to change my registation but Al's got my vote too.

I can't think of a better demonrat candidate to face Dubya in 2004.

How many times have you read about the stepfather or boyfriend hurting a child? Read any paper and you'll see it over and over again.

And yes, some natural fathers hurt their children, or let their wives hurt them, but it's the exception, not the rule. It's the boyfriend monster, or stepdaddy crap that's sick twisted.

Marriage is the best thing that can happen to protect a child -- statistically speaking.

Liberals love broken families for the same reason corrupt priest love them. Children from broken families are easy prey. Sick creeps.

What good would that do? I never cease to be amazed at "conservatives'" belief in the supernatural powers of a government-issued marriage license.
