Clearly, the Democrats are afraid to take a principle stand. Clinton’s argument works if you accompany it with an unambiguous statement about your personal beliefs. Otherwise, Allah is right it’s a political game.

I think the notion that “separate but equal” is somehow a workable formula should be rejected by everybody in the 21st century. Especially by the Democrats. The goal cannot be anything less than full equality under the law. However, as a first step toward that clearly defined goal, Clinton’s approach is acceptable.

The Democrats’ position on gay marriage is completely chickens**t.

What is their position? I’ve read the docs. I still don’t know. I can’t even believe that Obama doesn’t favor gay marriage. He has a huge network of GLBT support from spokespeople, to advisers, to fund raisers, to house party hosts. He’s built perhaps the best network of GLBT support for a Presidential campaign ever and he STILL DOESN’T support gay marriage.

Maybe the GLBT doesn’t want gay marriage.

Who said anything about Christianity? ‘Thou Shall Not Commit Adultery’ is a clear indication that religion saw marriage as important where the rest of society wasn’t so concerned with it. Otherwise it wouldn’t have been a JEWISH commandment.

Marriage was invented by the Church as an institution to solidify the family unit for a strong community.

Excuse me, what?!? Marriage predates Christianity by a good long while.

I have to say I’m happy he had some trouble there. The Democrats’ position on gay marriage is completely chickens**t.

And enough with the “gays choosing to be gay thing”. I know enough of them to say these people are born with a gay gene, and should be respected like anyone else.

The ‘gay gene’ theory has been debunked at least 15 years ago, but the gay community doesn’t want people to know facts.

So if gays don’t choose who they have sex with then they are raped every time they have sex. You are telling me that gay people are predisposed to having sex with ONE person who happens to be the same sex as them. As far as I understand it in this country, people choose who they have sex with all the time. . . unless they are raped.

If a person chooses to ‘have sex’ (which isn’t even accurate to say because sex is technically a means of procreation – what they have is recreation that they can do without anyone really) with someone of the same sex, then they choose to ‘be gay’.

Can we apply the Liberal Bush bashing technique (nucular vs nuclear) to Clenis and declare his “stupid”?

I loved it when the young guy backed up the girl (who Clenis was trying to bully) by saying, with a chuckle) “we’re asking you“.

Clenis’s day in the spotlight is long gone. Shillary’s as well.

Buh bye Cleentons. Buh bye.

“She’s also opposed to the ban on gays serving in the military. And what are you doing later, little lady?”

I’ll take age over youth any day of the week.

PS: Obama opposes gay marriage. Message to Melissa Ethridge.

The late night talk shows have set out the strategy the dems will take already. It is smelly old man against Eau de Barry. When was the last time anyone heard Johnny Mac inspiring a crowd?

Beer is the only answer folks. Lots and lots of beer for the next eight years.

Barry’s wife said he smelled.

He is, and always has been, a slug.

You can say that again.

Yeah, she is acting as a surrogate for Mom, and yeah, Mom is running for President, but Chelsea just doesn’t think that the American people have the right to know about Mom’s credibility in light of Dad’s escapades. Chelsea Clinton……

That said, those that want a gay marriage amendment to the constitution need to get a life. Let the states decide, you know there was a time when Republicans actually gave a damn about federalism. When Republicans legislate like liberals with no respect for the self determination of states or jurisdiction we can see what the consequences are, just look at 1994 to present for a case study.

Very, very well said.

Dollayo on March 26, 2008 at 2:58 AM

you are right, it’s not in the Constitution listed specifically as a right, but the problem is there is NOTHING other than religious doctrine saying why it should or shouldn’t be allowed. THAT is a big problem.

Ah, interim. Every word must have the same low emphasis…like that Lipton guy, yes, hm hm, yes, hm hm…gosh, you’re so important.

How can you rewrite history when you don’t know it?

Marriages are often declared null and void by courts. If a court finds someone got married for the sole purpose of gaining US citizenship, for example, the marriage can be ruled an illegal contract, thus null and void. A marriage is a contract between 1 man and 1 woman. A limited partnership is a form of partnership similar to a general partnership, except that in addition to one or more general partners, there are one or more limited partners. Two men don’t have a right to form a marriage contract anymore than two people have a right to form a limited partnership contract.

It should be said that contract law is set by the people or their representatives in government and thus the laws governing contracts can be changed by the will of the people. Rights can never be changed and are guaranteed by the US Constitution.

The other kid that spoke up had it right when he said “I don’t know, we’re asking you.”

Sure I want the fighting to continue, and sure I think Hillary is the weakest candidate, but it is going to be Obama. The late night talk shows have set out the strategy the dems will take already. It is smelly old man against Eau de Barry. When was the last time anyone heard Johnny Mac inspiring a crowd?

Beer is the only answer folks. Lots and lots of beer for the next eight years.

Most folks would not have the cajones to smack down an ex-pres like that.

Ten years ago……. “Troopers foung the body of a slain young woman with three gun shots to the the head. They determined it was suicide….. In other news, Bill Clinton lead our own news poll of who is the best person on Earth…”
