I think it's more that the people who are for gay marriage but pretend not to be are cowards that don't deserve to be polticians. Also, i may be wrong but i believe most people in the country are against gay marriage. Not just the religious right. Most also are against the government allowing or prohibiting gay marriage as well. I'm guessing the trick there being that the majority (or at least a decent portion of people) believe marriage is between a man and a woman and the government has no say in that. |
Yes, yes I will.
And I agree it is pretty weak of the Democrats to not stand up for gay marriage. Most Democrats I know are for it. At least now that the issue is on the table more people will come around to it as time goes on. I really don't see why it is such a big deal.
People are lying to themselves if they think marriage is sacred in this country. Divorce rates are through the roof, single parents are very normal, and on TV you can watch Who Wants to Marry a Millionare, The Bachelor, or whatever form of human auctioning you desire.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
